2024 ASTON MARTIN VANTAGE DRIVEN & EV PRICES SLASHED BY $25K | THE CAREXPERT PODCAST

EV Channels Review

The CarExpert Podcast discusses significant EV price cuts in Australia, with Polestar, Nissan Leaf, and Porsche Taycan seeing reductions of up to $25,000. This is attributed to market normalization and potential overstocking, impacting resale values. The conversation then shifts to the new 2024 Aston Martin Vantage, described as a complete overhaul rather than an update. The reviewer highlights its significantly improved performance with 489kW and 800Nm from a reworked Mercedes-AMG V8, a more aggressive and beautiful design, and a vastly improved interior. The new nine-stage traction control system is praised for its ability to allow drivers to explore the car's limits safely. While the Australian price is set at $410,000 before options, the reviewer emphasizes the extensive customization possibilities and recommends the carbon ceramic brakes for track use. The episode concludes with picks of the week, including endurance racing onboard footage and the unique sound of a NASCAR at Le Mans.
