Head to head comparison: https://www.automobilemag.com/news/2018-aston-mart...

For those considering the Audi R8 RWS specifically this should be interesting.

I don't have a subsription but the R8 beats it on the Forestburn hillclimb track by just 0.45sec, however new Vantage takes the overall win. I was suprised. Very impressive.

Cool. Though anyone with that choice, imagine a conversation;
What do you drive? 'an Audi'
What do you drive? 'an Aston Martin'

That the same reasoning why the Vantage won. It came down to the what do you drive question.

Clearly the RWS is the superior car though. Save it for car people that can appreciate all that it is.

Add 20k to the Vantage price, because you can charge whatever for it, and those buyers will just pay. See winning question above.
