We say Simply a beautiful car to look at, sit in and drive. If you can get your hands on one, do.Performance Hugely powerful torquey 4.3-litre is restrained at lower levels before going mental nearer the redline. 4.7 V8 and 6-litre V12 up the ante to absurd proportions, meaning it’s possible to sprint to 62mph in barely over four seconds and do 190mpg if you’re so inclined.Emissions With a light right foot you can scraped around 20mpg. Don’t cross your fingers on CO2 emissions though. 299g/km is as good as it gets in the Vantage.Driving The Vantage drives like a dream: it’s agile and full of grip.Feel The Vantage is very quiet, unless you unleash the engine. In which case it’s very loud. Ride comfort is acceptable for a model like this.Space Great space for two in the cabin and a surprisingly large boot at 300 litres.Equipment The full works as standard. Some more performance-orientated bits and bobs are optional.Price Costs have shot up since launching, when demand outstripped supply. Supercar-level running costs beckon. Buy from £90K. Run for similarly high amounts.Quality The Vantage looks great inside and out, while engines are similarly classy.Safety Plenty of active and passive safety aids and attendant airbags.Pros Looks great, drives beautifully, surprisingly spacious.Cons Expense.Alternatives Jaguar XK Coupe, Mercedes SL, Maserati GranTurismo
