The largest single leap in power in the 73-year legend of Vantage. Launched from a hand-built twin-turbo V8. Heavily reworked. 800Nm thrusted through your tyres and trouncing the tarmac. Road reeling with 665PS. A 30% upswell compared to its direct predecessor. The most significant surge in the 7-decade timeline of the Vantage name.

The deletion of the isolated steering column dials up an unmediated, unfiltered line between the tarmac, the tyres and the steering wheel. An intravenous connection. Drip-feeding fluent feedback through your fingertips, mainlining you with the information you need to throw yourself into the limit.

Targeted bracing, undertrays and larger anti-roll bars multiply torsional stiffness, increasing lateral rigidity. Yielding a new strength of feeling in the cockpit. To tighten the connection between all five senses of the driver and every sensation of the car.

The height of intelligent torque shaping conspires with a lower final drive. To pinpoint grip more precisely. Tailoring traction and weaving it through the eye of an automatic 8-speed transmission. Recalibrated, with a shorter final drive ratio (3.083:1), to thread explosive in-gear acceleration, through the turn, catapulting you faster out of the corner.

A podium of Michelin majesty. Michelin Sport S 5. A proprietary and private blend specially made for Vantage. Moulded by Michelin, to the measure of Aston Martin. Threading greater intelligence through every tread. With a cutting-edge compound that maximises endurance.

Reworked, inside out, to revel in the reality of the road. A crowning comfort with a new feeling on connectivity. Enveloped in ergonomics. And decorated in the tradition of hand-stitched Bridge of Weir hide. Tracing the edges of your newly worked cockpit and outlining the improved driver centricity and cocooned driving position. All working together to hold the driver with precision and embroidering your vision with the focus you need to stare the limit in the eye.

Seething with sound. 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 1,170W 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 favourite music, as you are to the road.

A car centred around connectivity in the shape of the Aston Martin app. The pièce de assistance you need to communicate, interact and engage with your car. Putting updates and upgrades only the touch of a phone button away. An ever-expanding system, pushing the car as much as the driver, to continue to evolve and improve.

The ergonomically evolved and lowered centre console places you in the epicentre of every quiver of Vantage. 202mph. Flowing from your fingertips. Orbiting around a stop/start button that can erupt at the glance of an index. Marrying the digital with the analogue. Allowing you to dance through different drive modes with a twist of a wrist.

Screened with intelligence. Vantage comes pulsing with connectivity. A driver-centric dashboard in tune with every beat of the engine. Together with 10.25-inch, Pure Black touchscreen technology. Putting the digital in harmony with the analogue and immediate command in the driver’s fingertips, ensuring the most used controls are intuitively available. Without the need to take your eyes off the corner.

Vantage features our next-generation infotainment system. Forged in house, flushed with online connectivity, bolstered with 3D mapping and satellite view technology, and finished with fully integrated Apple CarPlay™ .
