Aston Martin is a legendary British automotive brand, founded in 1913 by Lionel Martin and Robert Bamford. The brand’s origin traces back to the duo building their own race car to compete in the Aston Clinton Hillclimb, where they achieved a victorious debut — marking the beginning of Aston Martin’s rich motorsport legacy. This year proudly marks the brand’s 112th anniversary.

Bold and Commanding from Every Angle

The New Aston Martin Vantage boasts an assertive presence, with dimensions measuring 4,495 mm in length, 2,124 mm in width, and 1,275 mm in height. The body has been widened by 30 mm, while the wheelbase spans 2,705 mm. With a kerb weight of 1,605 kg, the Vantage features an aluminum chassis that has been reinforced for greater torsional rigidity, enhancing precision and responsiveness in every drive. The grille has been enlarged by 38%, improving cooling efficiency by 29% thanks to enhanced airflow management.

As for the front, it has newly designed Matrix LED headlights with integrated daytime running lights that reflect the bold identity of the new-generation Aston Martin. Finishing off the aggressive stance are 21-inch forged wheels — 9.5J front and 11.5J rear — wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport 5 tires, sized 275/35 ZR21 at the front and 325/30 ZR21 at the rear. Each tire is marked with the ‘AML’ (Aston Martin Lagonda) code, signifying they are specially developed for the New Vantage.

Luxury Meets Intelligence with a Touch of Sport

The cabin of the New Aston Martin Vantage has been completely redesigned, blending luxury with advanced technology. It is adorned with Bridge of Weir genuine leather, known for its premium texture and signature scent, creating an unmistakably refined atmosphere. The interior also features an Aston Martin 390W sound system with 11 speakers, along with variable electric power-assisted steering for precise and effortless control. At the center is a sleek 10.25-inch Pure Black multifunction touchscreen, paired with nearby physical buttons for intuitive and quick access to key functions.

A new infotainment system supports both iOS and Android, and the driving experience is further elevated with five selectable drive modes: Wet, Sport, Sport Plus, Track, and Individual, the latter allowing drivers to customize various performance settings to suit their personal driving style.

Unleashed Power, Pushing the Limits of Thrill

The New Vantage is powered by a re-engineered 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 petrol engine, enhanced for even greater performance. Key upgrades include larger turbochargers, dual variable camshaft timing, a revised compression ratio of 8.6:1, and improved cooling efficiency. The combustion chambers are fully CNC-machined, allowing for precision and maximum performance. These enhancements result in a staggering 665 horsepower — a 30% increase (up by 155 hp) over the previous model — and 800 Nm of torque, representing a 15% gain (up by 115 Nm). The power is delivered to the rear wheels via a rear-mounted 8-speed ZF automatic transmission, paired with a carbon fibre prop shaft and an electronically controlled rear limited-slip differential. The New Vantage accelerates from 0–96 km/h (0–60 mph) in just 3.4 seconds, with a top speed of 325 km/h — a true testament to its hardcore performance pedigree.

Sharp Handling, Engineered to Conquer Every Challenges

The bonded aluminum chassis of the New Vantage has been further developed to offer increased torsional rigidity, ensuring a sharper and more responsive driving feel. The car maintains a perfectly balanced 50:50 weight distribution, delivering exceptional stability and control. At the front, the suspension features an independent double wishbone setup with coil springs and anti-roll bars, while the rear utilizes a multi-link design with similar components. The car is equipped with the Adaptive Damping System (ADS), enhanced with Skyhook technology and Intelligent Adaptive Dampers, allowing the suspension to seamlessly adapt to changing road conditions. Additionally, the front suspension cross-member has been newly designed and repositioned further rearward, improving chassis response and enhancing front-end grip.

The front double wishbone suspension mounts have been reinforced, and a lightweight yet stronger front strut brace has been added to the engine bay. This enhancement helps to reduce chassis flex, resulting in improved structural rigidity and more precise handling. At the rear, the suspension’s rigidity has been increased by 29%, delivering greater composure during high-speed maneuvers. These improvements are further complemented by the latest Bilstein DTX adaptive dampers, which offer a 500% wider operating range compared to the previous generation — ensuring the New Vantage delivers both comfort and uncompromising control across all driving conditions.

These upgrades result in sharper handling and an even more engaging driving experience. The braking system features ventilated and cross-drilled metal brake discs — measuring 400 x 36 mm at the front and 360 x 36 mm at the rear — paired with 6-piston front calipers and 4-piston rear calipers for powerful and consistent stopping performance. For those seeking even greater performance, a set of carbon-ceramic brake discs is also available as an optional upgrade.
