The Aston Martin Vantage is the sporty version of a quiet, luxurious English convertible. A classic of the ’80s, its American “muscular” silhouette contrasts with its noble British pedigree. Its odd, wide and low body makes it one of the most sought-after cars by a very specific community. Its engine, more appealing for its noise than for its 430 hp, is hindered by a sluggish gearbox. But its rarity, its unorthodox profile and its hybrid design make it not only an absolute icon, but also the star of the upcoming Bonhams auction on April 13th.
