THREADING THE FEEL OF THE ROAD THROUGH EVERY TRACE OF CAR

Primed by engineering premieres. Five innovations to plant tarmac into your palms. Shaped and smoothed to stiffen your edges and syphon power to the point of no return. Before you feel the road, find out what connects you so unapologetically to it.

ENGINE

HEARTBEAT TUNED 30% HARDER

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.

INHERITING RACETRACK SPEEDS FROM THE BLOODLINE

Rippling from the silence of a standstill. To 62mph, in 3.5s. Then ascending to a top speed breaching 200mph. Modified cam profiles, carefully rebalanced compression ratios and larger turbos send the engine’s full repertoire of thrill coursing through its veins. Without a scintilla of delay. Dissolving the difference between the sports car’s reaction time, and yours.

AN ARMOURY OF ALL ALUMINIUM

A hand-built launchpad of exhilaration, bolstered in all aluminium. 32 valves are varnished with cast, closed-deck blocks that multiply the strength of each cylinder, and eviscerate unnecessary weight. Crowned with Zirconium alloy heads, sparking it with the conductivity to reach 7,600RPM.

KEEPING COOL IN THE FIRES OF THRILL

Engineered to exploit is own excesses. To keep its own fire fanned. Vantage is born to live at the limit. The increase in power is reined in by tripling the number of radiators. Combined with a 56% increase in thermal apertures, a larger air-gulping recontoured grille aperture and a front splitter, rewrought with a new volume of intelligence to mainline cooling through the car.

THE SOUND OF THRILL

A V8 to eclipse its predecessors. Putting the visceral in full voice. Purring from every touch of your pedal, and conducted by just an index finger, the all-new centre console lets you select different drive modes and exhaust settings. Changing the character of the engine. For a full-bodied sensation of sound.

HANDLING AND STEERING

STEERING WHEEL FEEDING YOU BRAILLE FROM THE ROAD

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.

STABILITY IN 6D

The new Stability Control System underwrites your drive with a sixth sense of composure. Employing a state-of-the-art 6D Inertial Measurement Unit. Assessing every move you make by monitoring Surge (moving forward/backward), Heave (moving up/down) and Sway (moving left/right), with Roll (tilting side-to-side), Pitch (tilting forward/backwards) and Yaw (turning left/right). Simultaneously swallowing the car’s movements and rate of acceleration in all six axes. Allowing for the perfectly judged ESP intervention and the push your performance needs without the slightest hint of interference.

SURGING WITH STABILITY

Working hand-in-hand with the stability control system, the latest of the latest evolution of ESP. Using an algorithm to predict optimum grip. Responding in the moment to momentary instabilities. But not overreacting. The off mode allows you to easily silence any unwanted intervention from the car.

TRANSMISSION AND POWERTRAIN

CORNER CONQUERING TORQUE

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.

AN E-DIFF SYMPHONY OF SPEED

Deploying from 100% locked. To fully open. In 135 milliseconds. Duetting with the electronic stability control, the E-diff dispatches your full arsenal of acceleration. Minus the delays of a traditional mechanical system.

CHASSIS, DYNAMICS, AND SUSPENSION

ENGRAVED WITH THE INNER STRENGTH TO LOOK ITS OUTER LIMITS IN THE EYE

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.

DAMPENED NOT DILUTED

Next-generation Bilstein DTX adaptive dampers swallow bumps and flattens slopes. Outwitting the inconsistencies and inclines in the tarmac. With a 500% increase in the bandwidth of force distribution. Lining you with the precision and control to place your car where you want it, and the confidence to dive nose-first into the heart of adrenaline.

THE APEX OF ACTIVE DYNAMICS

The forefront of front-mid mounted engine, rear-wheel drive chassis design is enlightened by the vanguard of active vehicle dynamics. Live-tailoring powertrain, brake systems and E-diff. To the measure of the weather, and quirks of the road and track. Technologically upgrading your grip on the handling of the car.

BRIMMING WITH BALANCE

Perfect 50/50 weight distribution. Classically configured and meticulously poised with a front mid-engine and rear-wheel drive. Unique in its class, graced with a centre of gravity just 49cm off the ground. Anchoring you on the outermost edge of the car’s potential. And letting Vantage tiptoe on the throttle for full freedom of driver expression. While rotating tightly into turns with the reactions of a race car.

BRAKES

21 INCHES OF THRILLSEEKING TAILORING

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.

GROUND SHAKING BRAKING

Reimagined and reinforcing your confidence to push your car even further into the limit. 400mm at the front, 360mm at the back. Forged with grooved and drilled faces. And recalibrated to brush even more confidence into the pad of your foot. Now available in carbon ceramic. Lowering unsprung mass by a further 27Kg, increasing braking performance and reduces brake fade at temperatures up to 800 degrees.

STYLING

STITCHING YOURSELF INTO EVERY CHICANE

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.
