A 2009 Aston Martin V8 Vantage Roadster is listed for sale and is described as being in excellent condition with new brake pads, fresh rubber on its factory seven-spoke wheels, and a 4.7-liter V8.
The listing notes the V8 Vantage uses a 4.7-liter 32-valve naturally aspirated V8 with dry-sump lubrication, a rear-mounted transaxle paired with a six-speed Sportshift transmission, and output of 420 horsepower and 347 pound-feet of torque.
Aston Martin built nearly 25,000 V8 and V12 Vantage editions across the model's roughly 12-year run; Top Gear's Jeremy Clarkson nicknamed the car the "Baby Aston" and praised its exhaust note.
The listing highlights maintenance and original equipment, and describes the V8 Vantage's front/mid engine placement—set back behind the front axle—to improve balance for the sport-touring layout.
