WCF: 245 photos and road test of Aston V8 Roadster
Quote:
Even the great Ferrari could learn lessons from Aston Martin when it comes to soundtracks, and if the stereo is on at all it should be stuck on Ride of the Valkyries. Driven on a touch of throttle it's a quiet and civilised companion, but then the bypass valves blow open and the sound of a Spitfire, good old fashioned V8 muscle, fills the air.
This is no track car, it is perhaps the most sporting Grand Tourer in the world and the drop-top version belongs on a winding mountain road, where it would provide the most beautiful, tactile and complete driving experiences you could ever wish for.
And any car that can make Birmingham feel like Monte Carlo, well that is a feat that goes beyond mere engineering. This is a fantasy car that can change your world and take you to a better place. For that, it will remain forever dear.
