Vantage

The most emphatic leap in power in over 70 years of Vantage. At its heart, a reworked, hand-built twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8. Meticulously engineered. Sharper. More visceral. More vocal.

New Vantage is the fastest in the nameplate’s history. From the silence of standstill to 60 mph in 3.4 seconds. Modified cam profiles, a carefully optimized compression ratio, and larger twin-turbos produce staggering performance throughout the entire rev range. Ascending to a top speed breaching 200 mph.

An engine hand-built in aluminum. 32 valves with a closed-deck block that multiplies strength and rigidity. Eviscerating unnecessary weight. Hot “V” configuration provides a compact engine package utilizing close-coupled, high-flow, twin-scroll turbos. Crowned with zirconium-alloy cylinder heads. Surging with power. Spinning to a spine-tingling 7,000 rpm.

The seismic uplift in power and torque also increases the thermal load, demanding a complete redesign of Vantage’s cooling system. Tripling the number of radiators and adding two auxiliary coolers on the center-mounted radiator. A 56% increase in thermal apertures. A larger air-gulping recontoured grille. A splitter feeding enhanced airflow into more capacious front apertures. Without impacting aerodynamic balance or downforce.

A V8 to eclipse its predecessors. From the distinct sonorous howl under acceleration to a smooth V8 rumble when cruising. Altered by an index finger, touching a machined-metal rotary dial to select a choice of five different drive modes and exhaust settings from an all-new center console. Triggering sensory pleasure as the quad-exhaust sound character kicks in. Distinct. Raw. The voice of Vantage. The sound of Aston Martin.

New Vantage boasts a non-isolated steering column. Delivering an unmediated, unfiltered line between the asphalt, the tires, body, and the steering wheel. To more directly exchange information between steering input, vehicle response, and road surface without the slightest interference.

The new Stability Control System underwrites your drive with a sixth sense of composure. Employing a state-of-the-art 6D Inertial Measurement Unit. Assessing every move you make by intuitively monitoring Surge, Heave, Sway, Roll, Pitch, and Yaw. Allowing perfectly gauged ESP intervention and optimized performance without interference.

Working in harmony with the Electronic Stability Control system, Vantage is empowered with the latest evolution of Electronic Slip Control (ESC) and Adjustable Traction Control (ATC) systems. Effectively managing torque to optimize wheel slip. Actively predicting exact level of grip available. Responding in the moment to instabilities.

Vantage. Unforgettable performance is evident when arrowing through corners at pulse-quickening speeds. Intelligent torque shaping works with the next-generation Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system. Tailoring traction. Pinpointing grip more precisely. Weaving power through an automatic ZF eight-speed transmission. Delivering explosive in-gear acceleration through a shorter final drive ratio (3.083:1).

Operating in unison with the latest-generation ESC system, the Electronic Rear Differential (E-diff) adapts its behavior according to the approaching corner or road’s demands—from the challenges of an alpine road to the wide-open curves of a racetrack. Helping the Vantage to rotate into tighter turns and exploit its razor-sharp yet composed front-end response. Inspiring confidence through high-speed bends where stability is crucial to give precision control and peak performance.

Vantage is stiffened by targeted bracing and undertrays. Superb structural stiffness is teamed with larger anti-roll bars to maximize body control. Syncing the driver with every movement of the car. Creating a more honest and responsive drive and making sure every sensation is felt more fully.

Next-generation Bilstein DTX adaptive dampers outwit any inconsistencies in the asphalt. A 500% increase in bandwidth offers an immense range of control and speed of response. Precise calibration of the dampers gives a keen edge to Vantage dynamics for an inherently sporting feel. Allowing the driver to opt for progressively tighter body control as they explore the comprehensive range of dynamic modes.

The forefront of front-mid mounted engine, rear-wheel drive chassis design is enlightened by the vanguard of active vehicle dynamics. Live-tailoring powertrain, brake systems and E-diff. To the measure of the weather, and quirks of the road and track. Technologically upgrading your grip on the handling of the car.

Perfect 50:50 weight distribution. Classically configured and meticulously poised with a front mid-engine and rear-wheel drive. Unique in its class. More than three-quarters of Vantage’s mass is balanced between the axles. Gracing it with a lower center of gravity, just 19 in. off the ground.

Michelin Sport S 5 tires. A proprietary blend specially made for Vantage. Honed by Aston Martin and molded by Michelin. Featuring a bespoke compound made to react with precision and to maximize high-grip levels on asphalt in any weather or road conditions. Super-sharp responses. The progressive breakaway characteristics expected from a car born of authentic motorsport pedigree.

Vantage can now be specified with Carbon Ceramic Brakes. Reducing unsprung mass by 60 lb. 15.8 in. at the front end, 14.2 in. at the rear end. Grooved and drilled faces for superior heat rejection. Defiantly increasing braking efficiency and reducing brake fade at temperatures up to 1,472 degrees Fahrenheit. Allowing later braking. For enhanced performance.

Interiors designed for real drivers. Reworked and redesigned. Building out the interiors with more horizontal surfaces. Mirroring horizon lines. Syncing the driver with the environment. Cocooned within traditional, hand-stitched Scottish Leather Group leather. With the lower hip point dropping the driver into a deeper, sporty position. Freeing you to drive with more precision. And more feeling.

The heart of your Vantage is the epicenter of your driving experience. Clean, unbroken lines. Stylish, slender air vents. A striking yet elegant environment. Fixed around the center console and beginning with an engaging push of the starter button. The tactile haptics of a metal rotary dial let you explore and savor five different drive modes. More detailed commands can be activated by the touch of a screen or the use of your voice.

A driver-centric dashboard, delivering a sense of space and clarity. Exquisitely appointed around 10.25-inch Pure Black touchscreen technology. 1,970 x 720 pixels. Activated by capacitive touch control. Intuitively pinching and swiping your way through the most used controls. A clearly defined array of physical switches on the lower section of the center console offers a triumph of functional beauty and tactile quality.

Vantage comes with the option of the Halo system developed with Aston Martin’s audio partner, Bowers & Wilkins. Wrapping every corner with the 15-speaker, double-amplified 1,170-W surround-sound system. Paired with dedicated 3D headline speakers and a powerful subwoofer. Bending sound to the will of your interior and leaving you as plugged into your favorite music as you are to the road.

Vantage multiplies and intensifies its road presence with an increase in track width. 1.2 in. wider for added stability. The new front end hosts a vaned, recontoured grille with 38% more surface area. Driving a 50% greater cooling capacity. A final high-speed touch comes in the form of a new optimized front splitter. Tuned to enhance airflow into larger front apertures without compromising aero balance and downforce.

The side of the Vantage sees the return of the iconic Aston Martin side strake. For a touch of dynamism even while standing at ease. The flank is finished by new side sills, frameless door mirrors, and presenting door handles.

More formidable, from nose to tail. Vantage is finished with a wider rear end. To cut lift, wheel arch vents bleed off air and the rear diffuser keeps the car grounded by managing and optimizing the flow of air to create low pressure under the car. The quad-exhaust tailpipes sign off, as memorable for their visual power as they are for their stainless-steel roar.

The structure of the enlarged 21-inch hand-forged alloy wheels was designed using simulation tools to remove every gram of excess mass without compromising strength or aesthetics. A bespoke blend of tires also helps minimize weight and maximize durability, with improved breakaway characteristics for increased traction and more grip.

Vantage shines with LED headlights and a new daytime running light (DRL) signature. Intelligently imagined by AI and cut in a six-block pattern to give a distinct character and stop refraction of light from the LED beam in its tracks. Standing intricately detailed and engraved with the Aston Martin name. To leave your signature on the night.
