We say Halfway between a DB9 and DBS, and arguably the best of the three.Performance The V12 490bhp engine falls directly between the other two cars in terms of performance, but it costs over £20,000 less than the 510bhp DBS.Emissions The Virage puts out 349g/km of CO2 emissions and 18.8mpg – but that is not what this car is for.Driving Virage translates as ‘bend’ and as the car lives up to expectations with a highly polished ride.Feel Aston’s Virage is refined and comfortable on the road.Space Two seats and very little boot space at 184 litres.Equipment Typical Aston Martin luxury and a huge amount of new equipment over the DB9.Price At £150,000 the Aston Martin Virage a hefty price tag but it undercuts the DBS by £20,000.Quality The Virage looks fantastic, with a more aggressive feel than some recent Aston Martins. High quality materials throughout the cabin.Safety Stability control, traction control, anti-lock brakes and front, side driver and passenger airbags will be standard.Pros The best-looking Aston on the market; delivers everything it should for much less than a DBS. It also offers much more than a DB9.Cons Price and running costs will be an issue for most.Alternatives Aston Martin DB9, Bentley Continental
