The latest Aston Martin to roll off the production line has been released. The N400 is the first car from Aston since its sale from Ford and will be limited to just 480 cars, split evenly between roadsters and coupes. Built in celebration of the V8 Vantage N24′s participation in the Nurburgring 24 Hour race, the N400 will have a 400bhp 4.3 litre V8 along with the usual suspension refinements and cosmetic changes over the regular V8 Vantage.

To carry the Nurburgring link even further there are two new colours being released including Karussel Orange (left) and Bergwerk Black. Another reminder of the Ring can be found in the stitching of the centre console.

With claimed performance figures of 0-60mph in 4.9 seconds and a top speed of 177mph the N400 won’t set any performance benchmarks for its class, but with a limted run, a beautifully styled body and that engine note it’s sure to find plenty of people willing to offer the £100K needed to get behind the wheel.
