The Aston Martin V8 Vantage represents a new chapter in the company's development. In line with brand image the new product was required to exhibit a powerful and sporty yet sophisticated sound which would become a leader against competitors.The exhaust orifice sound was tuned via a combination of CAE simulations and iterative modifications coupled with subjective assessments.The final product exhibits a strong, linear, firing-order dominated sound which is unique to the vehicle and unlike many other traditional V8 soundtracks. The exhaust sound quality can be seen as a vehicle feature affirmed by the positive feedback from customers and press.
