Unveiling the All-New Vantage: Engineered to Thrill Real Drivers
Introducing the latest iteration of an iconic bloodline, Aston Martin proudly presents the new Vantage. This cutting-edge model is the quintessential Aston Martin sports car, boasting the title of the most driver-focused and fastest Vantage in the brand's storied 74-year history. It celebrates pure performance, engineered to deliver maximum thrills and confidence.
Refocused through a contemporary lens, the Vantage champions qualities increasingly rare in today's sports car market. It stands for enthusiasts craving breathtaking power, razor-sharp handling, and the perfect balance of a finely tuned front-engine, rear-wheel drive chassis.
The announcement of the new Vantage follows the successful introduction of the acclaimed DB12 Coupe and Volante last year. This further strengthens Aston Martin's next generation of sports cars, reaffirming its position in the ultra-luxury, performance sports car market.
Continuing a remarkable lineage dating back to 1950, when the Vantage name first denoted an uprated engine package for the race-proven DB2, this new generation Vantage reflects the most dynamic period in Aston Martin's 111-year history.
Aston Martin's CEO, Amedeo Felisa, stated, "This newest model makes an unwavering commitment to high performance in its purest form. With class-leading power and speed, combined with expertly applied technologies, Vantage is world-class."
The new Vantage is powered by a hand-built 4.0 Twin-Turbo V8 engine, making it the fastest. With peaks of 665PS and 800Nm of torque, it marks the biggest-ever jump in power and torque compared to its predecessor, delivering gains of 30% and 15%, respectively.
These enhancements result from extensive tuning by Aston Martin engineers, incorporating modified cam profiles, optimised compression ratios, larger turbos, and improved cooling systems, giving the engine a sharper and more visceral character.
Paired with an eight-speed ZF automatic transmission, the Vantage reaches 202mph and accelerates from 0 to 60mph in just 3.4 seconds. The Launch Control system ensures perfect acceleration, while advanced cooling systems maintain stable intake air temperatures.
Built around Aston Martin's latest generation of bonded aluminium construction, the Vantage features an enhanced body structure for more focused dynamics. Intelligent adaptive dampers provide precise control, allowing the Vantage to seamlessly adapt from challenging roads to race tracks.
The Electronic Power Assisted Steering system ensures direct and uncorrupted steering inputs, while Michelin Pilot Sport S 5 tyres optimise grip and response. The option for Carbon Ceramic Brakes reduces unsprung mass, improving ride quality and steering response.
The new Vantage boasted a muscular physique, a broader stance, and a redesigned front end featuring a more prominent grille aperture for improved cooling. The iconic Aston Martin side strake returns, enhancing the car's aggressive profile.
Customers can further enhance the Vantage's sporty character with three core livery designs and various colours, including Satin Bronze.
Inside, the Vantage offers an ultra-luxury interior with flawless lines and premium materials. Bridge of Weir hides provide comfort, while advanced infotainment systems and a Bowers & Wilkins surround sound system offer a premium driving experience.
Production of the Vantage is scheduled to begin in Q1 2024, with deliveries starting in Q2 2024. Engineered for real drivers, the Aston Martin Vantage sets a new benchmark of driving purity for enthusiasts seeking the thrill of a fast sports car.
