DB7 types?

DB7 Vanquish, Vantage, LM Vantage... what're the differences between all of them?

[Scott 02]

Here is the Aston Martin LM Vantage...

This car had the more powerful of two engine options that produced 600bhp and pushed the V8 Vantage, a car shaped to tear the atmosphere apart rather than glide through it, to 60mph in 3.8 seconds, with a top speed exceeding 200mph. Think about it for a second. In 2000, the McLaren F1 had been long out of production, the Bugatti EB110SS was but a distant memory, and VW's supercar aspirations (the Veyron and the Nardo) a distant, and highly unlikely, possibility. At the end of the millennium, the Aston Martin was the world's most powerful stock production car. The fact that a car that weighs just slightly under five thousand pounds (4370lbs) could be pushed to such speeds makes it that much more incredible. Like a traditional Aston Martin, this was a car that didn't pay more attention to the surroundings than a British aristocrat would pay to a fly in his Chardonnay. The V8 Vantage LeMans was a highly sophisticated, highly luxurious grand tourer that just pushed on, utilizing the immense power stored under the bonnet, to go on and on. That is what true British supercars are about. This car started out in 1999 as a concept. It was produced in 2000 were only 40 of these were ever made. Here are some specifications for the Aston Martin V8 Vantage LeMans V600.....

As for the Aston Martin DB7 Vantage...2000-2003

The 2003 DB7 Vantage is a 2-door, 4-passenger luxury sports car, or convertible sports car, available in two trims, the Coupe and the Volante. The 2003 DB7 Vantage's closest competitors include the BMW Z8, the Ferrari 575M, and the Rolls-Royce Corniche. Upon introduction, both trims are equipped with a standard 6.0-liter, V12, 420-horsepower engine that achieves 11-mpg in the city and 18-mpg on the highway. A 6-speed manual transmission with overdrive is standard, and a 5-speed automatic transmission with overdrive is optional. The 2003 DB7 Vantage is freshened for 2003. With its 420 bhp (309kW) all alloy, four camshaft, 48 valve, 6-litre V12 engine, six speed manual or five speed automatic with optional Touchtronic transmission, DB7 Vantage is the fastest and most powerful DB of them all.
