Customers drive their dreams at Aston Martin Works.

Aston Martin Works customers are among the first drivers in the world to take delivery of exclusive new V8 Vantage N430 sports cars this weekend.

Sporting the new ‘64’ registration plate, three N430s are being handed over to buyers who were quickest off the mark when order books for the new motorsport-themed Vantage models opened earlier this year.

Paul Spires, Commercial Director at Aston Martin Works, explained: “Interest in the new N430 models has been very high since the cars were first announced at the Geneva Motor Show back in March.

“I’m really happy that the first deliveries we are able to make to customers coincides so well with the arrival of the new ‘64’ plate registration mark.”

Pure, unadulterated fun is what lies at the heart of the new V8 Vantage N430. Honed on the track to excel on the road, N430 – available in Coupe or Roadster form – boasts peak power of 436 PS at 7,300 rpm.

Ally the car’s inherent dynamic capability to lightweight and sporting-biased features as standard such as carbon fibre and Kevlar® seats and ten-spoke forged alloy wheels in a new graphite painted finish – together yielding a weight saving of 17 kg – and it’s clear that the GT4-inspired N430 has been created to deliver exceptional performance with a club sport ethos. The car is capable of 190 mph, with a 0-60 mph time of just 4.6 seconds.

That power feeds the rear wheels through a sporty six-speed manual gearbox; with the option of a close-ratio seven-speed Sportshift™II automated manual transmission with short final-drive ratio for those demanding the most driver-focused yet involving set-up.

N430’s front mid-mounted, 4.7-litre, all-alloy, quad overhead cam, dry-sumped V8 engine is complemented by a rousing sports exhaust, aerodynamics honed through numerous wins in GT racing and a competition-derived braking system.    

The compact proportions and inherent balance of the Vantage design are supported by a carefully calibrated sports suspension tune and quick-ratio steering rack that rewards the true enthusiast driver on road, and on track.

Paul Spires added: “With the arrival of the new N430 on UK roads, I’m sure we’re going to see many more potential owners pay a visit to our showroom here in Newport over the weeks ahead.”
