Aston Martin proudly announces its most performance-focused Vantage yet. The standard Vantage is already a class-leading front-engined marvel, but the new Vantage S takes that reputation to the next level. In keeping with Aston Martin’s tradition of affixing the “S” badge to special high-performance versions of core models, the Vantage S brings enhanced driving dynamics and power to this very special iteration.

At the heart of the Vantage S is an upgraded 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 producing 680 PS at 6,000 rpm and delivering peak torque of 800 Nm between 3,000 and 6,000 rpm for improved in-gear response. The powertrain has been further optimized, with the launch control system improving acceleration times by 0.1 seconds—achieving 0-60 mph in just 3.3 seconds and 0-124 mph in a blistering 10.1 seconds.

Suspension components have also been refined to elevate track driving dynamics. Tuning and calibration of the Bilstein DTX adaptive dampers enhance front-end feel and response. Rear spring aid stiffness has been reduced to balance compression and rebound, improving low-speed ride quality. The steering connection is now directly mounted to the rear subframe instead of using rubber bushings, while additional tweaks to camber, toe, and caster settings further sharpen driving response and grip.

Inside, the Vantage S features distinctive “S” cues that showcase Aston Martin’s attention to craftsmanship. Embroidered “S” logos adorn the upper shoulder panels of the seats, each created with nearly 2,500 individual stitches and over 16 meters of thread. Buyers can also choose from unique interior options for even greater luxury. The Inspire Sport interior is offered in either full aniline leather or a combination of semi-aniline leather and Alcantara, available in both monotone and duotone color schemes.
