No official announcements have been released by Aston Martin with regards to its plan to upgrade the V8 Vantage for model year 2010 however, according to a source who spoke with Car Magazine, the refreshed series is already available for orders. Expect the first models of model year 2010 Vantage V8 to start to be delivered in the first few months of 2010. Pricing for the coupe starts at £83,191 ($135,100) while the Roadster is priced from £91,021 ($147,800). According to the source, the Vantage can also be customized with 10-spoke forged 19-inch alloy wheels with diamond turned and silver finish, lightweight seats with kevlar and carbonfiber construction, clear rear lamps, N400 sill design, magnum silver bonnet and side strake meshes and 1000W B&Q hi-fi system.
While the 2010 Aston Martin Vantage continues to be powered by the 4.7-liter engine; this time, the unit has been modified to release less emissions. Preliminary figures are pointing to 315 grams of CO2 every kilometer, down from 328 g/km for the current model.
