Ram Charan was gifted this car by his In-laws on the wedding day. The couple then had a short ride in this 2 crore worth car.
The
Aston Martin V8 Vantage and the
Aston Martin V12 Vantage are a series of hand-built sports cars from the British manufacturer Aston Martin. Aston Martin has previously used the "Vantage" name on high-performance variants of their existing GT
models, notably on the Virage-based car of the 1990s. The modern car,
in contrast, is the leanest and most agile car in Aston's lineup. As
such, it is intended as a more focused model to reach out to potential
buyers of cars such as the Porsche 911 as well as the exotic sports and GT cars with which Aston Martins traditionally compete.
In their 2006 readership survey, readers of Car Design News voted the
Aston Martin V8 Vantage as the best current production car design. The
survey results were based on over 1000 responses, most from working
automotive designers and students of industrial and automotive design.
The Vantage was also voted one of Automobile magazine's 2007 "All Stars"
for its performance, road manners, and design. The V8 Vantage is also
one of the only two cars to be added to "The DB9 section," – a fridge
reserved for the super-"cool" – on the BBC's Top Gear (on which it is described as the
baby Aston
to differentiate it from the V12 powered DB9). The program rates cars
from seriously un-cool to sub-zero. The fridge was an extra category
added when the presenters deemed the Aston Martin DB9 too cool for the sub-zero category. In the 2005 awards, Jeremy Clarkson
declared the V8 Vantage as Best Sounding Car of the Year and The
Coolest Car of the Year, while the award winner was actually the Porsche
911. While the V8 Vantage remains a rare and special car by any
standard, the success of the model is highlighted by the completion of
chassis number 10,000 – a specially ordered Onyx Coupe delivered to a
customer in USA – in the first half of 2008. While the production of
10,000 cars is a tiny number by the standards of typical car
manufacturers, it is a significant milestone for an Aston Martin model –
the DB9 being the only other Aston Martin model to have achieved that
figure.
