After almost seven years, the 2012 Aston Martin V8 Vantage still looks handsome thanks to a modest cosmetic facelift, that has revised lower front bumpers, air splitter, restyled side sills and a diffuser-equipped new rear bumper.

Performance has been improved for the optional six-speed automatic via an upgrade to a seven-speed transmission. This provides faster and more precise shifts thus optimizing acceleration. Other enhancements include a quicker steering, faster braking and tyres that are 10mm wider. Check out the video above where the above mentioned Aston is prancing around what seems to be the streets of Paris. Beautiful piece of engineering in a beautiful city.
