Description
The Atelier des 1000 is pleased to offer for sale this Aston Martin V8 Vantage N420 in an elegant all-black specification.
Presented in 2010, the N420 is one of the most developed and desirable versions of the first-generation V8 Vantage. Its name references the time set by the V8 Vantage on the Nordschleife loop at the Nürburgring during development, while its philosophy draws directly from the race-prepped models run by Aston Martin Racing.
Positioned between the standard V8 Vantage and the upcoming N430 and V12 Vantage, the N420 benefits from a suite of specific evolutions designed to sharpen its sporting character while preserving the marque’s Grand Tourer DNA.
It includes notably:
- The 4. 7-litre naturally aspirated V8 developing 420 bhp.
- The Sports Pack with bespoke suspension settings.
- A sports exhaust delivering a more prominent soundtrack.
- Carbon fibre body elements such as the diffuser, front splitter and side vents.
- Lightweight sport seats derived from the V8 Vantage N24.
Produced in limited numbers, the N420 is today regarded as one of the most sought-after iterations of the atmospheric V8 Vantage thanks to its balance of performance, exclusivity and driving purity.
The car we’re offering wears number 220. Its Carbon Black paint, paired with black-finished window surrounds, grilles and exterior trim, gives it a presence that is both discreet and particularly aggressive.
The service history is complete and shows this car has been maintained at an official Aston Martin centre since it was first registered in 2011.
Under its long hood sits the famous 4. 7-litre naturally aspirated V8 producing 420 bhp.
A true centerpiece of the car, this engine delivers immediate throttle response, a linear rev range and a metallic note that has become iconic of modern Aston Martins.
The SportShift II gearbox adapts to both comfortable cruising and sporty outings.
The chassis is precise, the suspension benefits from the Sports Pack adjustments that sharpen handling without compromising Aston Martin's road manners.
Braking is perfectly up to the car’s performance, while the overall package maintains a fine compromise between sportiness and comfort.
The paintwork shines with a superb gloss, evidence of the car’s good preservation and the brand’s build quality.
The full black finish reinforces the chic and sporty character of this N420. The current de-chromed look has been achieved with a reversible protective film.
It is therefore easy to revert to the original configuration. The wheels could also be repainted in their original colour if desired.
The piano-black centre console is in excellent condition, as is the dashboard, with no signs of peeling—an issue known on these Vantage generations.
The N420-specific sport seats are a key part of this version’s identity, offering excellent support, and they are heated and memory-equipped.
Given the condition and spec, we are asking €69, 990. Part-exchange is possible.
