2008 - Aston Martin V8 Vantage N400 coupe n°120/240 French circulation permit Chassis n°SCFBF03G28GC10977 - Unique limited series based on the original 4.3L V8 - Specific configuration, 400 horsepower and sport suspension - French origin car, 3rd hand with less than 36500 km - Excellent condition, up to date logbook, invoices and maintenance The Aston Martin V8 Vantage first appeared as the "AMV8 Vantage" concept car at the Detroit Auto Show in 2003, although it was not officially launched until the 2005 Geneva Motor Show, to be released in the summer of that year. It was designed by the Danish designer Henri Fisker, who also designed the DB9 and the Z8 for BMW. At that time the range was quite limited at Aston Martin, since it was composed of only two models, the Vanquish S and the DB9. The one that was then nicknamed the "Baby Aston" was intended to broaden the target audience. To do so, it is well helped by a very advantageous aesthetic, both compact and fluid with taut lines and reduced overhangs, as well as finishing details that integrate perfectly with the body. In addition to its timeless design, the little Aston, whose nickname is "small", is equipped with a mechanical system that matches its plastic. It is powered by a 4.3L V8 developing 385 horsepower with a marked character and particularly loud revs. The engine is also very beautiful and proudly displays itself under the hood with its aluminum intake manifold. Stiff, balanced and agile, this Aston is extremely pleasant to drive and to pilot. It has had a long career of more than 13 years, with evolutions of course and above all a large number of special series. However, presented in 2007 to commemorate the success of the N24 of the brand in the famous Nürburgring 24H race, the N400 special series is the only limited series based on the V8 Vantage 4.3L. The name "N", in reference to the Nürburgring, and "400", as a reminder of the number of horsepower of the engine, which has been increased to 400, make it possible to understand the purpose of the modifications made compared to the production model, namely: a sharpened chassis and increased power. Moreover, this series is also the object of a particular endowment including specific colors, numbered plate and logo of the circuit, allowing to identify each specimen. Delivered new in France by Aston Martin Paris Auto Performance on October 4, 2008, our Aston Martin V8 Vantage is a rare coupe example of this limited edition N400 series. It was registered for the first time on October 7, 2008 and carries the number 120 of the 240 N400 coupes produced worldwide. In an all-black configuration with black metallic paint and black leather with white stitching and 19-inch wheels, it has the most chic and sporty presentation characteristic of this limited series. The Nürburgring track, the numbered plate and the small logo on the tailgate obviously complete this specific equipment. The car has only had 3 owners since it left the factory and has just under 36500 km to date. The paint received a ceramic treatment a few years ago which allowed it to keep a nice depth and shine. The interior is also very well preserved. The car comes with its spare keys and its logbook, including the maintenance book part, which mentions that the last service was performed in September 2022. This V8 Vantage is a very desirable and timeless car, and a very exclusive limited edition. This is even more attractive when the car starts singing like only Aston Martins can. Without a doubt, a car that a certain secret agent would not have disowned...
