Why are Aston Martin's so popular? It's simple, they're beautiful to look at, brilliant to drive and James Bond has got one! Inspired by Aston Martin’s rich racing pedigree, the AMR is the most dramatic version of the Aston Martin Vantage ever created.

What to expect from the Tesco Aston Martin Driving Experience

The Aston Martin V8 Vantage is an English Supercar. There are no extravagant spoilers or scoops to spoil the flowing lines. It achieves the difficult balance of beauty and purpose.

The 4.3-litre V8 instantly explodes into life with one push of the starter button. Sat on tick over you're aware of it but as the revs increase, the volume goes through the roof as the engine produces a note like no other - something that has to be heard to be believed.

Preparing you for this drive is the more delicate feeling Porsche Cayman. Laps in this stunning German coupe will ensure you are fully comfortable and confident with the lines and technique of Thruxton Circuit.
