CHASSIS, DYNAMICS AND SUSPENSION
STIFFNESS AND STABILITY
Vantage S introduces a solid-mounted rear subframe to increase structural torsional stiffness. In addition to the targeted bracing, undertrays and thicker anti-roll bars already in place, this helps to further enhance body control.
PERFORMANCE ARCHITECTURE
The solid-mounted rear subframe, using aluminium mounts in place of the usual rubber bushes, provides Vantage S with a 5% increase in torsional body stiffness and improved stability for a more direct connection with the car. Improvements to the core structural architecture are balanced with more flex in the transmission mount and rear spring aid. The result is increased ride refinement with no sacrifice in dynamic precision.     
 
 
LAUNCH CONTROL

Harnessing the integrated Launch Control system, Vantage S delivers an optimal blend of power and traction. Less wheel spin. More adrenaline. Sprinting from standstill to 60mph in 3.3 seconds. Achieved through re-calibration of the Launch Control system and improvements in powertrain performance.

 

In combination with modified cam profiles, optimised compression ratio, increased efficiency of combustion and large twin turbos from the previous generation Vantage helps maximise torque output in each gear. Delivering scintillating performance throughout the entire rev range up to a top speed of 202mph. 

UNDERPINNED. UNDER CONTROL
Improved calibration of the Bilstein DTX adaptive damper software enhances control of roll-and-pitch to maintain strong front-end confidence and low-speed agility. The wide bandwidth offers an immense range of control and sharpness of response. Reduced stiffness in the rear suspension aids rebalance compression and rebound for improved further low-speed refinement. Developed with bespoke damper software to enhance comfort without sacrificing agility or driver feedback. Adaptive damping dials in sharper body control and dynamic performance feel across all drive modes.  
BRIMMING WITH BALANCE
Classically configured. Meticulously poised. With a front mid-engined layout and rear-wheel drive, Vantage S delivers an ideal 50:50 weight distribution. Unique in its class. More than three-quarters of the vehicle’s mass is balanced between the axles. Sharpening Vantage S performance with a lower centre of gravity, just 49cm off the ground. Further improving aerodynamics, cornering ability and stability at high speeds.
