What are the power specs and other points of interest on this car?
One thing I remember is they were placing this car to compete with the 911... so I'm guessing its gonna be priced around 70-80K?
Another thing, something that doesn't make sense to me and I've always wondered about... Why are the Aston's so slow to 60? In this mag I have (Automobile) they list the 0-60 for the Vanquish S at 4.8 seconds. This is a car with 520 hp and 425 tq., even if it's tuned for the Autobahn, it's gotta have a quicker 0-60 run than that. The DB9 shows 4.9 seconds??? and that's with a 450 hp V-12.
Anybody with some knowledge on this please chime in!!!!

Love it, and even better that it is an Aston that is almost affordable, should be about $140-150K Canadian, so its almost within reach :D unlike the DB9 at $200K+.
What would you rather have a mid range BMW 7 series or that beauty
