Do you think it will feel really slow compared to the Turbo? When does the supercharged model come out. I think the 350hp version gets delievred in spring 2005.

Vantage V8

Like the looks, but the Aston tranny SUCKS. Hopefully they've changed it for this car. Proably more of a 997S competitor than a TT competitor

I believe the NA 350hp one is a 997s competitor although it will be $100k from what I here. I also here they are going to make a supercharged version to compete with the TT

You have a 997S alongside your modded TT? How about some comparisons or a review of the 997S?

Lightbulb New Vanquish S V12

Vanquish S V12
With a maximum speed in excess of 200mph (321km/h) and a 6.0 litre V12 engine developing 520 horsepower, the Vanquish S has been designed to deliver even greater performance, complemented by subtle suspension and steering changes and a number of interior and external style revisions.

"The Vanquish is our flagship model and the standard 460bhp will continue to be built," said Aston Martin CEO, Dr Ulrich Bez. "However, this derivative makes the car even more exceptional. The latest Vanquish S is not only the fastest Aston Martin ever, but it is the best handling too. It is the ultimate high-performance Aston Martin."
