Power, Beauty & Soul - Aston Martin

And that's right, the Soul in particular is something you can't ignore about Aston Martin. They are not the best at circuit driving, they don't compete with all manufacturers to improve that 0-100 and they are Tesla's 'Yang' in terms of innovation. But is that what Aston is all about? Absolutely not. They are creating something for the ultimate Gentleman, who arrives lavishing in style everywhere. The subtle eight-cylinder lets you know you are driving something special when you start her up. With the big glass start button of course, which along with the slogan Power, Beauty, Soul welcome you as a driver. So is this a car 'for only decent people'? Largely, but for those neat people with a sharp edge. Actually, just like the Vantage V8 itself. Because when you accelerate; Gatverdamme what a wonderfully full, fat and loud growl!!!

And then the styling. Basically the way an enthusiast car should be. A long bonnet, a relatively rearward cab and a very short rocker butt. Add a few exciting lines and voila; a piece of Aston's cultural heritage! One of the most beautiful models born in Gaydon, England.

Ours was delivered right there, in the heart of the UK, at Aston Martin Lagonda Ltd. In Midnight Blue Pearl with matching blue leather interior. She has always been looked after at the dealer and has had the necessary TLC. We compare her a little to Halle Berry. Gorgeous, just single again, has already been driven, but... Do you really care? We'll see you soon.
