AMV8 Vantage RS

Seven days after Aston Martin officially presented its new DBS to the grand audience, one of our users (Mauske) saw an Aston Martin V8 which is likely to be the new V8 Vantage RS. Perhaps Aston Martin thought the baby-Aston was too heavy so they put him on a diet. Ofcourse we're not 100% sure but as far as we know there isn't a lot known about this "diet" yet. It might be that the guys from Aston Martin were creative with the mirrors and rear lights but according to our user, Mauske, employees from Aston said this would be the new baby-Aston.

We see silver mirrors, DBS rear lights and Leds in the headlights (these where already in the 2005 AMV8 models). Also do we see bigger side-skirts! We think this type is for the American market, because this one has orange reflectors on the side, they are required by the law in the States.

The Aston Martin V8 Vantage RS is a light-weight (1270kg) version of the V8 Vantage, but with more power. The RS weighs 150kg less than the standard Vantage, while putting out an additional 40hp (totalling at 420hp). Aston Martin seems to be keen to compete more vigorously with the Porsche GT3 and Audi R8.
