An Aston Martin Vantage found itself in a humorous and unfortunate situation when it got stuck on a bumpy road, demonstrating that even a supercar has to bow down to ‘super potholes.’
A video of the supercar struggling to navigate rough terrain went viral – Video: Car Crazy India
Most people dream of owning a supercar. However, besides having a hefty bank account, it seems that the owner also needs to live in a country with good road conditions. This was proven in the unfortunate incident of the Aston Martin Vantage getting stuck.
Supercar Stuck on Dirt Road, 500-Horsepower Engine Helpless, Passersby Laugh
A video of an Aston Martin Vantage getting stuck on a rough road in India has been widely shared. The video begins with the car attempting to cross a large pothole. With some assistance, the Aston Martin tried to navigate the bumpy dirt road.
However, the rear wheels of the Aston Martin lost contact with the ground. As a result, the rear wheels of the supercar spun in place. Since the Aston Martin Vantage is rear-wheel drive, it couldn’t move forward when the front wheels lacked traction.
According to the post, the Aston Martin Vantage became stuck on the bumpy road while leaving the famous Shere Punjab restaurant in Kolaghat, West Bengal, India. This is a popular spot for car enthusiasts during weekend outings. In the video, a BMW M3 can also be seen, likely accompanying the Aston Martin.
The car in the video is a previous-generation Aston Martin Vantage, powered by a 4.0L twin-turbo V8 engine from Mercedes-Benz.
This machine produces 502 horsepower and 675Nm of torque. It comes with both a dual-clutch automatic and a manual transmission. In Vietnam, the Aston Martin Vantage V8 has a base price of about 13.8 billion VND.

This isn’t the first time a supercar has struggled on poor-quality roads. Recently, a video shot in Mysore showed not just one but several supercars and luxury cars struggling to pass through an extremely bad stretch of road. On a pothole-filled road, Audi R8s, Ferrari 812 Superfasts, and MINI Coopers all had difficulty moving through.

A similar amusing story happened in 2011 when Bugatti brought the Veyron Grand Sport to India. The $1.4 million supercar was brought for the ultra-rich of India to test drive.
Unfortunately, Bugatti couldn’t find a buyer in the country at that time. However, the car still became a sensation online when photos of it refueling at a local gas station went viral. Additionally, a video showed the car struggling to get over a large speed bump on the road.
