The latest in an iconic bloodline, Aston Martin introduced the new Vantage. The quintessential Aston Martin sports car and the most driver focused and fastest Vantage in the famous nameplate's 74-year history, it is an authentic, unadulterated celebration of pure performance, engineered to deliver maximum thrills with maximum confidence.

Powered by a heavily reworked, hand-built 4.0 Twin-Turbo V8 engine the new Vantage is the fastest in the nameplate's history. With peaks of 665PS and a colossal 800Nm of torque it also makes the biggest-ever jump in power and torque compared to the model it succeeds, those increases of 155PS and 115Nm equating to gains of 30% and 15% respectively.

Mated to an 8-speed ZF automatic transmission this is enough to propel the two-seater sports car to a top speed of 202mph and punch it from a standstill to 60mph in just 3.4sec.

Standing start acceleration has been perfected with the introduction of a new Launch Control system. Fully integrated with the powertrain, transmission and Electronic Stability Program, when engaged by the driver, Launch Control allows the car to deploy as much torque as conditions allow, using the E-Diff, ESP slip control and engine torque management to keep wheel slip in the optimal range throughout the launch.

Steering response and front-end grip has been further enhanced by 'AML' coded Michelin Pilot Sport S 5 tires made specifically for the Vantage. Measuring 275/35 R21 front and 325/30 R21 rear they feature a bespoke compound and have been tuned by the Aston Martin dynamics team to suit the super-sharp response, high grip levels and progressive breakaway characteristics expected from the most driver-focused model in the Aston Martin range.

Vantage is fitted as standard with cast-iron 400mm front discs and 360mm rear discs with drilled faces for improved heat management and fade resistance. Carbon Ceramic Brakes (CCB) can be specified on Vantage as an option.

Vantage owners can enhance the sporting character of Vantage even further, by selecting one of three core livery designs. Available in 21 colors, a client can choose to add a Pinstripe, Pinstripe and Lipstick or Pinstripe, Lipstick and Rear infill.

The new generation Vantage makes a breathtaking statement with an all-new ultra-luxury interior defined by flawless architectural lines, swathed in the finest materials and packed with state-of-the-art connected technology and a stunning surround sound system developed by audio partner, Bowers & Wilkins.

Production of the Vantage is due to commence in Q1 of 2024, with first deliveries scheduled to begin during Q2 2024.
