Drive an Aston Martin Vantage

The Experience
The Aston Martin V8 Vantage is widely regarded as one of the most engaging cars in Aston Martin’s modern line-up. Compact, powerful and beautifully styled, it delivers an exciting combination of performance and precision on the track.

Powered by a 4.3-litre V8 engine, the Vantage is capable of reaching speeds approaching 180mph. Its balanced chassis and responsive steering make it particularly rewarding to drive, while the unmistakable Aston Martin engine note adds to the experience.

Your day begins with a briefing from a professional instructor before heading onto the circuit.

Once in the driver’s seat, you will guide the Aston Martin V8 Vantage around the track for 6 miles, giving you the opportunity to experience its acceleration, handling and overall performance.

After completing your drive, you’ll move to the passenger seat of a specially prepared performance saloon for a high-speed lap driven by a race instructor.

Driving an Aston Martin on a race circuit offers a memorable way to experience the performance of one of Britain’s most celebrated sports car brands.
