Vantage gains more power and aerodynamic upgrades
It’s been a fun couple of weeks if you’re into beautiful coupes with prestigious badges on the hood. A few days after Ferrari unveiled the Amalfi, Aston Martin has shown us the new Vantage S. This is a tauter, sharper, and more powerful version of the standard Vantage. The visual changes aren’t dramatic, but they add just enough menace to what is one of the world’s most arresting GTs. Here’s a closer look at the new Vantage S.

This is now the most performance-focused version of the Vantage, with changes made to the engine, chassis, throttle pedal, and styling.

Outside, there is still a gaping grille, but the Vantage S gets new hood blades in a gloss black or 2×2 Twill Carbon Fiber finish. These help to extract hot air from the V8 engine.

Red detailing and available 21-inch wheels in satin black with a red finish further accentuate the coupe’s sporty lines.

The Vantage S gets a new full-width decklid spoiler that boosts rear downforce by 97 pounds when the car is driving at its top speed of 202 mph.

Performance is exceptional. The 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 now produces 670 horsepower and 590 lb-ft of torque, resulting in a 0-60 mph time of just 3.3 seconds. Front-end feel and response have been improved, and more direct steering comes from the rear subframe being directly mounted to the body.

Subtle S badging can be found around the curvaceous body of the Vantage S.

‘S’ interior styling has given the already high-class Vantage cabin a further lift.

Embroidered ‘S’ logos are found on the sporty seats, while the legendary Aston Martin wings are stitched into the headrests. The infotainment suite should include Apple’s new CarPlay Ultra – the new software has been rejected by many automakers, but Aston Martin became one of the first automakers to adopt it.

The steering wheel rim looks to be finished in a grippy suede. It includes paddle shifters for the transmission.

The dominant interior color is black, but it’s lifted by red stitching dotted around the cabin and on the seats. Full or semi-aniline leather is available, too.

Pricing hasn’t yet been announced, but the Vantage S – available as a coupe or roadster – is now available to order. Initial deliveries will begin in the final quarter of 2025.
