New Vantage boasts a non-isolated steering column. Delivering an unmediated, unfiltered line between the tarmac, the tyres, 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 optimised 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 optimise wheel slip. Actively predicting exact level of grip available. Responding in the moment to instabilities.

Vantage is stiffened by targeted bracing and undertrays. Superb structural stiffness is teamed with larger anti-roll bars to maximise 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 tarmac. 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 centre of gravity, just 49cm off the ground.

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

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

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

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 centre-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 on 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 centre console. Triggering sensory pleasure as the quad-exhaust sound character kicks in. Distinct. Raw. The voice of Vantage. The sound of Aston Martin.
