2012 Aston Martin Virage luxury car

2012 Aston Martin Virago luxury car it takes a special kind of car to turn your head in luxury car-saturated Orange County, California, and to check the status of just about everyone else on the road when you are there. The Aston Martin Virago is one of these cars - especially when it is sprayed into the spectacular orange Madagascar Sheen seen here. And Gay don latest creation she meets all British classic with class and dignity instead of the excessive flash that attracts the audience Luxury4Play and his love for bright Masonry body kit.

Part of what keeps the L4Per away is the conspicuous lack of performance figures. In a time when sub-four-second 0-60 mph times are the norm for mid-level performance cars and sub-three-second periods are no longer the exclusive domain of the Beatty Verona, the 4.2 seconds needs of the Virago to 60 mph hit seems almost, well, slow. What about the quarter-mile? A time of 12.6 seconds 112.7 mph means you get your doors with the Nissan GT-R and the blown 997 Porsche 911 Turbo S. It's the same story on the circular drive is (0.94 g) and our eighth (24.9 sec at 0.76 g) - once impressive numbers do not mean what they once did.

Then there is the spectacular soundtrack that comes from these twelve cylinders. It makes you want to do, so there are only four instead of six gears just to keep it in the top half of the rev range all the time. And then there's the driving experience.

Sure, the GT-R could be faster, but it's not nearly as much fun to go at least from the classical definition, and no one will ever call it ridiculously , Because it's an Aston, the Virago is obviously not cheap. Our tester rang the register at a cool quarter million, a hefty price for a car with internal compromises that are not in cars that cost one-fifth as much (imagine a Garmin retrofitted in an e-class!) Would be tolerated. Pay But these cars are not Aston Martins - they do not have the glorious V-12 and probably too many
