Aston Martin has barely changed the new V8 Vantage for 2012, but then why would they. The car’s been around since 2005, but year after year instead of getting old and becoming boring, it has matured, like a fine wine. Even though the new visual changes are hard to spot, it looks better now than it ever has. The Vantage still makes bits of your body go all hot when you see it. Aston just released a promo video for it which, as always, is fancy.

The new V8 also gets upgraded chassis, with quicker steering, bigger brakes and wider tyres, so it should be better to drive, especially as it also gets 420bhp (430 in S guise), but who cares really. All you want is those glorious looks.

Prices for the new, upgraded Aston Martin Vantage starts at £84,995 / €108,500.
