A sleek two-seat: front-engine, rear-wheel drive.  4.3-liter V8 engine producing 380 horsepower. Combined with a rear-mounted 6-speed manual transaxle, the V8 Vantage achieves a nearly perfect 49/51 weight balance. Performance should be impressive, with a promised top speed of 175 mph and 0-60 mph in just 4.9 seconds.
