The Vantage N400 includes a number of technical improvements as well as enhancements to its standard range of color and trim specifications. These include a power upgrade to the 4.3L V8 engine, lifting peak power to 400hp and peak torque to 420Nm . It also comes with a sports pack consisting of lightweight graphite-finished aluminum wheels, up-rated springs and dampers and a new rear anti-roll bar. There also a revised side sill design, new bonnet and side strake meshes, clear rear lamp lenses and a bright finish grille. Inside, the car picks up satnav, Bluetooth and heated seats.

I like it a lot. And more important:"Aston Martin develops and tests all of its road cars extensively on the Nϋrburgring Nordschleife circuit and the Vantage N400 recently broke the eight minute benchmark around the legendary 14-mile circuit."

Ziggy,
I recently had a chance to drive V8 Vantage and to my huge supriese I like it a lot. If offers amazing traction and stability... It just feels right for me. Excellent chassis setup(standard one) is a key for that excellent Ring time(8.03min). Weight distributon is 49/51 and with just enough power is another key element for track like the Ring.
N400 version time is 7.57min(!) and that is amazing achivement IMHO. Honestly, I am thinking hard about N400...

Aston factory commisions an external agency to call every Aston buyer after delivery. Can be a bit annoying as it goes for half an hour, but great for factory feedback. I guess their volume is small enough to be doing this. So Moogle you gonna get this instead?
