Aston Martin Nurburgring Vantage V8 will be offered to the public

They say, that in most cases adjective 'handbuilt' is a euphemism for a 'look, dad, its door has just fell over!' In most cases a luxurious coupe with a sticker price of $100,000, is way less reliable than some mass-produced family sedan. That's why Aston Martin so much praises the fact that its almost unmodified handbuilt Vantage V8 completed the recent 24 Hours of Nurburgring, although it didn't even win. Actually, the car was only the 24th to cross the finish line.



But it's an accomplishment anyway, since the Nurburgring Vantage V8 was, as Autoblog puts it, completely stock, except for a special safety cage, enhanced fuel tank and fire system, a racing seat and built-in air jacks. Accordingly, Aston Martin plans to offer to general customers a limited number of coupes, which are identical to the actual Nurburgring car.

Price is not yet known, but there is a chance that it won't be much higher than that of the original Vantage V8 coupe (pictured above).
