Wearnes Malaysia Launches the new Aston Martin Vantage.

It is almost every men’s dream to be James Bond and be seen driving the MI5 secret agent’s iconic car, the Aston Martin. Right now you have a chance to own one that is not only inspired by the super performance Aston Martin Vulcan but also by the iconic DB10.

Wearnes Malaysia recently launched the latest Aston Martin Vantage in Kuala Lumpur. This new Vantage is inspired by the track-only Vulcan and the purpose made DB10 that appeared in the James Bond film Spectre. The titanium front grille, which is un-mistakeably Aston Martin design is also inspired by the Vulcan.

The power plant of the Vantage is derived from Mercedes-Benz AMG’s M177, 4-litres, V8, Twin Turbo. Churning out 503 bhp with a century sprint time of 3.6 seconds. Stopping the Vantage is through a Ø400mm front and Ø360mm rear disc brakes with loads of electronics assistance like ABS, EBD, DSC, EBA and HBA (refer to specifications)

Gripping the roads are huge 20 inches wheels with 255mm & 295mm width tyres. Handling department is impressive with the Skyhook technology in place.

Seats and steering wheel are luxuriously covered in Alcantara leather with fine stitching workmanship.

Photos and words do not do justice. So go over to a Wearnes Aston Martin showroom to have a feel of your own or better still, book one and be the eye candy of town.
