If you've got some bucks burning a hole in your pocket and you've always wanted to drive an Aston Martin, we've got the solution for you. For $2,500, you can fulfill that dream at Aston Martin's Performance Driving Course.

Located in Michigan, Aston Martin is delivering a unique driving experience for those willing to part with their hard-earned greenbacks.

New for summer 2011, Aston has included the V12 Vantage into the mix of vehicles to choose from. If you don't recall, the V12 Vantage is arguably the most sporting of the British marque's offerings.


Aston Martin's press release follows:

Aston Martin today announced the availability of the V12 Vantage at the brand's USA performance driving course. The V12 Vantage joins Aston Martin's award winning line up of sports cars, which includes the DBS, the Rapide and the V8 Vantage, on hand for participants to drive on the exhilarating and dynamic tracks of the Michigan Proving Ground during the one day instruction based course.

The Aston Martin Performance Driving Course gives prospective and new customers an opportunity to experience the dynamic capabilities of an Aston Martin in a safe yet exhilarating high speed environment. Since the course launched five years ago, hundreds of participants have attended the driving school in Michigan for a full day of one to one instruction on miles of track, which includes an alpine circuit, a high-speed oval and a mile straight runway.

The V12 Vantage is Aston Martin's most potent production sports car ever, benefitting from race derived technology and a powerful V12 Aston Martin engine producing the fastest and most agile sports car in the brand's line up. The V12 Vantage retails from $184,000 and with the recent announcement of a manufacturer approved lease program, the car is even more accessible to drivers looking for a unique combination of exclusivity and focused sports car performance.

Julian Jenkins "We are very much looking forward to offering customers and sports car enthusiasts the opportunity to drive the V12 Vantage, alongside our other award winning models. The V12 Vantage is a thoroughbred sports car and the miles of track covered at the course will give participants the opportunity to experience its capabilities during a thrilling day of performance driving."

The Aston Martin Performance Driving Course is open to all drivers over 18 years of age and holding a full license. The cost is $2,500 for the full day. For further details and bookings, please email pdcusa@astonmartin.com or visit www.astonmartindrivingexperiences.com
