Aston Martin has confirmed pricing for its compact Vantage sports car, set to arrive in Australia during the third quarter of 2018.
With a starting price of $299,950 before on-road costs, the car will be around $18,000 more expensive than the Porsche 911 GTS. That price similarity is no accident.
Speaking to media at the launch of the Vantage and DB11 Volante in Melbourne, Patrik Nilsson, Asia Pacific director for Aston Martin, didn't mince words when discussing the car's rivals.
Dodge might have started the supernatural muscle car trend with its Challenger SRT Demon, but it's been outdone by the hotted-up Hennessey Exorcist in our latest poll.

While very few people will ever get to experience the Ferrari FXX K at full tilt, we can live vicariously through those privileged enough to afford it.

Combined outputs are rated at 772kW and over 900Nm respectively, with drive sent to the rear wheels via a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission.

…
A raft of details and images for the upcoming 2019 Toyota Corolla have been handed down today, in advance of the new hatchback's August launch for the Australian market.

Mercedes-AMG has announced local pricing for the new G63 will kick off at $247,000 before on-road costs when it touches down in August.
Power comes from 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 making 430kW and 850Nm – up 10kW and 90Nm over the previous model respectively.
It's put to the road through a nine-speed automatic transmission, which works with on-the-fly switchable low-range to deliver the legendary off-road ability for which the G-Wagen is famed.
