New Vantage RS spied at the Nurburgring
Discussion
Interesting, thanks.
It did make me think that there are advantages to making your own engines - Porsche can do whatever they like with their powerplant; Aston can do what MB allow and cooperate with. Not that it's just the engine that defines a track monster - but it helps
As an aside, it would appear that Porsche make roughly as many 911 GT3's per year as Aston do Vantages of any stripe (roughly 1,600 from a quick online search). The advantages of volume as well.

This and the Valen. Not sure I’m completely aligned with Aston’s model and aspirations trajectory.
The Valkyrie was a glorious unicorn in terms of performance. A Bulldog for the 21st Century that made production against the odds. Yet its was still elegant in its extreme design.
Winglets. Full blown wings. Gaping snouts. It’s all making me stick even more in the VH era.
