ABOUT THE BRITISH SPORTS CARS DRIVING EXPERIENCE
The Aston Martin V8 Vantage N430 is beautifully British. There are no extravagant spoilers to spoil the flowing lines. Inspired by Aston Martin’s rich racing pedigree, the N430 is the most dramatic version of the Aston Martin Vantage ever created.
The 4.7-litre V8 instantly explodes into life with one push of the starter button. Sat on tick over you're aware of it but as the revs increase, the volume goes through the roof as the engine produces a note like no other - something that has to be heard to be believed.
The Jaguar F-TYPE is simply brilliant. Jaguar describes it as powerful, agile and distinctive.....they're not wrong! It's a stunning car not only to look at but also to drive. The noise from the 3.0 litre V6 is a sonic treat which becomes addictive as you press down more and more on the throttle.
The V6 engine is mated to an ultra-quick 8-speed twin clutch gearbox which works seamlessly. The chassis and suspension set up are perfect for the car.
All of these components combined make for a breathtaking driving experience.
