Vantage S builds on what was already the most emphatic leap in power in over 70 years of the iconic Vantage marque. Unleashing the full potential of the hand-built twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 to achieve a total power output of 671 HP. And a staggering 590 lb-ft of torque. As visceral as it is vocal. Securing its class-leading positioning with the highest output of any front-engine rear-wheel drive sports cars using purely an internal combustion engine.

Engineered for performance, Vantage S assertively blends functional weight reduction, aerodynamic enhancements, and engine performance improvements with the class-leading edge and dominance of an Aston Martin. A suite of innovative lightweighting options, including a carbon-fiber roof, carbon ceramic brakes, and carbon-fiber performance seats drive a 2.4% increase in power-to-weight ratio. Ramped up to 394 HP per metric ton in its lightest form—the most formidable in the ultra-luxury sports car category. Designed to minimize curb weight. And maximize driver thrill.

A 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine, hand-built in lightweight aluminum, is the beating heart of Vantage S—32 valves. A closed-deck block to boost strength and rigidity. Eradicating unnecessary weight. The Hot “V” configuration creates a compact engine package. Utilizing close-coupled, high-flow, twin-scroll turbos. Topped with zirconium-alloy cylinder heads.

The cooling system is engineered to manage the substantial thermal load generated by Vantage S, ensuring sustained peak performance at 671 HP. There are two auxiliary coolers on the center-mounted radiator. A contoured grille has a huge air-intake capacity while the splitter feeds enhanced airflow into large front apertures. These elements combine to provide a 56% increase in cooling aperture area compared to the previous generation Vantage without impacting aerodynamic balance or downforce.

The cockpit interior resonates thrillingly with the same iconic soundtrack as its illustrious predecessors. A distinct sonorous howl under hard acceleration. The smooth V8 rumble when cruising. Modified by the touch of an index finger on the machined-metal rotary dial. A choice of five drive modes and exhaust settings. Each unlocking a different level of sensory thrill. Quad-exhaust sound character, kicking in. Distinct. Guttural. Raw. The new Vantage S—with a legendary soundtrack. The unmistakable voice of Aston Martin.
