2019 Aston Martin Vantage: V8 power and elegant style

The Aston Martin Vantage was one of the most hotly anticipated new cars of 2018.

The two-seat sports coupe shares its engine and electronics with Mercedes-Benz, but the rest is pure Aston Martin.

That starts with the design -- this is one stunning coupe from every angle.

The rear end is especially gorgeous, with its wide hips and slim taillights. 

Twenty-inch wheels look downright massive on this small two-seater.

Power comes from Mercedes' 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8, with 503 horsepower and 505 pound-feet of torque.

Power runs to the rear wheels through an eight-speed automatic transmission.

Tiny, LED headlights look great on the car's front fascia.

The Vantage isn't cheap, of course, with pricing starting around $150,000.
