Aston Martin has long been one of the most desirable and respectable names on the road, producing a fine range of supercars to rival and surpass the best from Europe. With the advances in technology and design, the V8 Vantage has become one of the finest Aston Martins to date, with a superb drive quality and performance level. The 4.3l V8 engine is beautifully refined and a trophy of English car design. The Audi R8 has shot to the top of everybody's wish list since its arrival in 2007. Based on a Lamborghini Gallardo, the R8 is a real threat to the well established supercars due to the beautiful design and absence of numbers on the road of the German supercar. The 4.2l V8 supercar is incredibly powerful and futuristically designed, with many brand new features set to influence the motor world over the next few years.
