VIDEO: Aston Martin's NEW Virage Goes Head-To-Head With The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG "Gullwing"

If I were cross shopping expensive and powerful grand tourers, a pair I wouldn't even think comparing together would be the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG "Gullwing" and the new Aston Martin Virage.

That's because the SLS is a real bruiser with a sledgehammer of a V8 under the hood.

Aston Martin I see as more of a luxury tourer that can excite you if need be.

Having experienced the SLS extensively, I can tell you now that if the Aston Martin Virage can pull over a victory, that is one seriously good car.


The Aston Martin Virage is the latest addition to the line-up of the Birtish brand, slotted in between the DB9 and DBS, the Virage aims to hit the sweet spot between an out and out performance machine and refined GT.

As obvious as it may be, I'm just surprised no one simply called it a child of a DB9 and a Rapide.

A lot of race tracks have extremely smooth surfaces. No bumps or humps. When I watched those two supercars bounced a bit here and there, it just seemed so exciting - nice way to mimic street racing! I love the feeling of weightlessness!

To me power is important and the fact that MB can make a better V8 than AM can make a V12 says alot. The fact that he would get it simply because its an Aston Martin is stupid and defeats the purpose of comparing cars.
