Two years after its debut, theAston Martin Vantage GT4 offers a little refresher. Two major routes for this development: improved aerodynamics and improved efficiency for the engine. All under the auspices of theAston Martin Vantage V12 which has served as an inspiration for stylistic aspect …

The evolution of the Vantage GT4 remains faithful to the V8 4.7, but it is the V12 variant of road model which it claims to emulate. An inspiration particularly visible in the drawing of the front bumper, rear diffuser, but also the trunk spoiler. These changes are not purely gratuitous and intended to improve the aerodynamic characteristics of the car, and in particular supports, or the flow of air to the cooling systems.

Aston Martin did not disclose details about the engine modifications, and merely indicates an improvement torque and power. For the chassis, Aston Martin will offer its customers an ABS and traction control Bosch signed and especially designed for racing on the track.

This new course will be eligible GT4 in all competitions with a GT4 class. Of course, the formula monotype Aston Martin GT4 Challenge is open to him … But she does not just shine in this formula. His predecessor, sold copies to 8a, was shown in numerous competitions, winning in 2010 for example the GT4 European Cup, the 24H Dubai, Spa or Nurburgring in its class.

The manufacturer of Newport Pagnell video shows us one of the 420 copies of his latest limited edition, the V8 Vantage N420.

The N420 series is none other than the heir to the N400, was released in 2007 to celebrate the participation of Aston Martin to 24h Nùrbugring. This time the small Aston sets the bar higher by losing 27 kg thanks to the use of carbon fiber.

Under the hood, the N420, available in coupe or roadster, does not change since it resumed the 426 hp V8 4.7 of equipping the regular V8 Vantage. This block can be mated to a six-speed manual transmission or a sequential Sportshift.

The N420 has benefited from the experience in competition from Aston Martin to acquire a sports pack including a new damping system and anti-roll bars. Also on the program, a body kit comprising elements carbon, new 10-spoke wheels and an outline of the grille painted.

The price of this vehicle, available in France since last August, is around 112,000 euros.

Not content to have in its range a thunderous RS5 or R8, Audi could prepare a competitor to the Aston Martin Rapide and Porsche Panamera.

After making a guest appearance in the field of sport with the R8, Audi could confirm the shot and (re) start on the sport sedan market very upscale.

A9 occupy this place of new jewel of the range because this would be to compete with the elite. What the previous S8, despite its excellent performance, could not do.

This new model would have the air of large four-door coupe and would incorporate the stylistic standards of the brand found on the A7 (see our test).

Engine side, the big Audi could be equipped with the 4.2 V8 or V10-derived 5.2 R8 and develop more than 500 hp.

If this rumor were to be true, no doubt that the hatchet between Porsche and Audi would be unearthed. Stay tuned ..

Luxury Car: New Aston Martin named Cygnet

The new production Aston Martin may surprise you. the luxury subcompact Cygnet is little to be small, but this car has quite a furious punch!

The Cygnet is a version under the brand Toyota iQ equipped with the same 97hp 1.3 liter engine, but equipped with a premium leather interior was stitched entirely by hand. According to sources, the Cygnet would be a price somewhere between $ 45,000 and $ 75,000.

It is a radical change in the current row of Aston Martin performance cars, but the addition of a fuel will help the British car manufacturer to comply with tighter EU standards for emissions and could help reach the 35 mpg Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) to enter into force in the United States in 2016 at which time they should start the sale of the car on the market. According to the latest rating report CAFE, Aston Martin was 19 mpg in 2008, but its low sales volume means that it could obtain an extension to achieve its objectives. It is interesting that Aston Martin is interested in ecologically developing this new little gem!
