The second series of Aston Martin’s V8 Vantage—otherwise known as “Oscar India”, codenamed to mark its planned “October Introduction”—was introduced to deliver an improved but standardized engine and interior across the Aston Martin range. The consolidation of components between the models Lagonda, V8, and Vantage brought improved refinement and luxury in the cabin, as well as better drivability and performance from the engine.
