Aston Martin Unleashes the Vantage S
Aston Martin Vantage S
The New Pinnacle of Performance and Craftsmanship
Aston Martin has unveiled its most performance-focused Vantage ever: the new Vantage S. This model redefines the brand’s legendary Vantage lineup with heightened power, sharper dynamics, and distinctive design enhancements. Building on the thrilling reputation of the existing Vantage, the Vantage S raises the bar for front-engine luxury sports cars and sets a new benchmark for Aston Martin’s acclaimed sports car range.
Following the unveiling of the recent DBX S, the Vantage S is the latest model to carry on the tradition of the “S” suffix. A tradition that began with the Vanquish S in 2004, and continued with the 2011 V8 Vantage S and the 2013 V12 Vantage S.

More Power, More Thrill: The Beating Heart of the Vantage S
To further enhance driver engagement and performance feel, Aston Martin engineers refined and calibrated the throttle pedal weight and response, justifying the addition of the “S” suffix to the Vantage. Complementing these calibrations is a refined drive-by-wire throttle calibration, tailored to each Drive Mode, for an even more connected and exhilarating driving experience.
At the core of the Vantage S is an upgraded 4.0-litre V8 Twin-Turbo engine, delivering a breathtaking 680PS at 6000rpm and a formidable 800Nm of torque between 3000–6000rpm. This increase in power ensures immediate throttle response and thrilling acceleration: the Vantage S rockets from 0–60mph in just 3.3 seconds and boasts a top speed of 202mph.

Precision Engineering for Unmatched Agility
Aston Martin’s engineers have meticulously refined the Vantage S’s chassis and suspension to achieve exceptional agility without sacrificing comfort. Allowing for the Vantage to retain its identity as an everyday sports car.
Key highlights include:
Hardware and software tuning of the Bilstein DTX adaptive dampers, enhancing front-end feel.
Revised suspension geometry – camber, toe, and caster settings – for sharper cornering and improved grip.
Direct mounting of the rear subframe to the body boosts steering precision.
Subtle tweaks, such as softer rear springs, aid in stiffness, and optimized powertrain mounts improve both ride quality and refinement.
Together, these updates result in a car that not only corners with confidence but also maintains impressive stability and comfort, making it equally at home on twisting backroads or long-distance tours.
A Bold Statement in Design and Aerodynamics

New centrally mounted bonnet blades in gloss black or carbon fibre, improving engine cooling and adding visual aggression.
Handcrafted 'S' signature badging on the fenders, finished with striking red glass enamel.
A new full-width rear spoiler increases rear downforce by 44kg at top speed, contributing to a total of 111kg of downforce, ensuring incredible high-speed stability.
Further aerodynamic refinements, including a revised front airdam and underbody venturi vanes, make the Vantage S not just visually dynamic but functionally advanced.
