The New Aston Martin Virage introduced

Written by Leonte Cristian.

Aston Martin VirageThe new Virage comes equipped with a V12 6.0 L engine that generates 490 horse power and 570 Nm of torque. The gearbox attached to the engine is a 6-speed TouchTronic II automatic and it is mounted on transaxle, this way contributing to a perfect 50/50 weight balance. New Aston Martin Virage provides optimum road holding, thanks to the ADS (Adaptive Damping System) - a system that reads the road. A "Sport" button has been added, allowing the driver to select a sharper throttle response and a faster gear changes. The brakes in the new Virage are made from CCM (Carbon Ceramic Matrix). The CCM help to reduce the weight of the car and specially at each wheel, creating a better balance between ride comfort and handling.

Inside, the new Aston Martin Virage is covered in "Bridge of Weir" leather, offers a integrated Satellite Navigation system, heated seats, cruise control, Bluetooth and a 700 W Aston Martin Premium Audio System with Dolby Pro Logic II and full Ipod connectivity.

The new Aston Martin Virage will show at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show among the V8 Vantage S and Cygnet City Car. The price list will be released after the event.

Aston Martin CEO, Dr. Ulrich Bez :

"100 years of automotive history has demonstrated that evolution delivers the best solutions in time. So it is with Virage; it is the next level of evolution in our VH architecture strategy and it does everything with the perfection that you would expect today. It is the perfect balance of opposites."
