Autocar test the 'Aston Martin Virage

Autocar takes us on a tour last creation Aston Martin Virage, the company recently presented at the Geneva Motor Show. The sound of its V12 is now extremely determined. Aesthetically, there is nothing revolutionary: the car as claimed in Gaydon, is an evolution of the DB9 and stands between it and the most exclusive DBS.

The tester also suffered the cards on the table: this Virage is the result of a "file" on the mechanical and handling. But the result is not a product "border-line" as a refined version of BDS. Quality is not just. A coach who knows how to combine the comfort of a GT with the performance of a supercar in a realization treated in detail.

Auto split personality, good for walking and at ease in the more committed leadership. An outstanding braking system (carbon-ceramic material disks as standard) and an acoustic velocity within the well-made mask. But you just tap the left paddle behind the steering wheel to pull out all the grit of the mighty V12.

The transmission to be very fast but very smooth in line with the spirit of self: a product that apparently makes it unnecessary to list the presence of DBS. We only notice? E 'style, that perhaps he needs repairs more pronounced.
