Special to the Los Angeles Times
OVERVIEW
The N400 is a more potent version of Aston Martin’s pretty and pretty wonderful V8 Vantage. With extra power comes an up-rated suspension for even more responsive handling, distinctive body detailing (note the silver strakes on the hood and the clear rear-light lenses) and interior features such as perforated black leather seats, an alloy dash and a numbered plaque on the sill.
It will be available as either a coupe or roadster.
UNDER THE HOOD
4.3-liter V8
400 hp 310 lb-ft of torque
OUR TAKE
Aston Martins are just as desirable for both their looks and driving qualities as almost anything from Italy. This special edition of the V8 Vantage should help with the sales figures and provide a cool alternative to the usual suspects.
