ASTON MARTIN REVEALS VIRAGE BEFORE GENEVA




A brand new Aston Martin model is now available to those with more cents and sense. One cannot argue against the beauty of an Aston, however, as far as performance they do leave much to be desired. The new Virage should be no different then.


Look for evidence in its 6.0-litre V12 engine which should, given its competitors’ current figures, be roaring at well over 400kW. Instead it languishes at 365kW and 570Nm; respectable figures but not exactly mind-blowing, considering price tags. To be fair no list prices have been announced yet. Perhaps after the Geneva International Motor Show. The Virage comes with a 6-speed Touchtronic II automatic gearbox and is said to run from 0 – 100km/h in 4.2 seconds. Top speed is 299 km/h.
