New Vantage Unveiled

For seven decades the heartbeat of Aston Martin’s purest models, the Vantage nameplate has been worn by some true icons. First used in 1951 on a high-output engine option for the DB2, Vantage was quickly established as a model in its own right. Highlights include the William Towns-designed V8 Vantage, spectacular twin-supercharged V600 Le Mans and the much-loved V8 Vantage.

Now this formidable sporting dynasty is hitting new heights with the introduction of the latest Vantage. The heart of the Vantage is its potent new alloy, 4-litre twin-turbo V8 engine. Set low and as far back in the chassis as possible, it ensures optimal centre-of-gravity and perfect 50:50 weight distribution. Capable of accelerating from 0 to 60mph in 3.5 seconds and on to a maximum speed of 195mph, it employs a sophisticated suite of integrated electronic systems to offer maximum control and driver enjoyment.

Deliveries are scheduled to begin in the second quarter of this year.
