The new Vantage is by no means a Mercedes-AMG GT in a new suit it uses the DB11"s hacked platform and only shares its engine and sat-nav with AMG. And while the 503bhp, 505lb ft outputs from the 4.0-litre bi-turbo V8 are wholesale what you"d find in an AMG C63, Aston has recalibrated the engine"s delivery and cooked up its own exhaust note. As a result, the Vantage sounds a little more serrated and barrel-chested than the menacing AMG. It sounds fabulous. This is the best turbocharged engine anywhere this side of Ferrari.Read Top Gear"s review of the all-new Aston Martin Vantage here
