Aston Martin Vantage

Aston Martin has used the Vantage name on a number of vehicles, normally indicating a high-performance version of another model. In one case, from 1972โ1973, the Vantage was a distinct model, being a straight-6 powered version of the DBS, a car that had been launched as a straight-6 but was by that time V8-powered. Despite the Vantage nameplate, the 1972โ1973 Vantage was in reality the least powerful model in the manufacturer's range at the time. It was also the least expensive, serving as an entry-level Aston Martin.
