The highly-anticipated global debut of the new Vantage was recently followed by its introduction to the Middle East during a prestigious Suhour event on March 20th at the Bulgari Hotel Yacht Club in Dubai. This latest addition to Aston Martin's iconic lineage represents a pure celebration of unadulterated performance, meticulously engineered to deliver unparalleled thrills with unwavering confidence.
Under the hood, the new Vantage boasts a meticulously reworked 4.0 Twin-Turbo V8 engine, hand-built to perfection, making it the fastest model in the Vantage series. With impressive peaks of 665PS and a staggering 800Nm of torque, this model marks the most significant leap in power and torque compared to its predecessor, showcasing increases of 155PS and 115Nm, translating to gains of 30% and 15%, respectively.
Paired with an 8-speed ZF automatic transmission, the new Vantage accelerates from 0 to 100km/h in a mere 3.4 seconds and reaches an impressive top speed of 325km/h.
Visually, the new generation Vantage stands out as a true game-changer from the very first glance. The widened body by 30mm and a more muscular stance are complemented by a completely revamped front-end design, featuring a 38% larger and recontoured veined grille aperture that allows for a 29% increase in mass airflow, providing enhanced cooling capabilities.
Additional cooling intakes positioned on either side of the grille enhance the front-end's aesthetics, while the newly integrated splitter, with a wider and lower profile, not only adds visual drama but also improves aerodynamic efficiency, ensuring high-speed stability through reduced lift. The distinctive front-end look is further enhanced by the all-new Matrix LED headlamp design with integrated DRLs, showcasing Aston Martin's fresh light signature.
Moving to the sides, the iconic Aston Martin side strake makes a triumphant return, now serving as a focal point amidst revised vents on each flank. The Vantage rides on standard-fit 21-inch forged alloy wheels that perfectly fill the widened wheel arches, giving the car a purposeful and poised stance that exudes power and agility.
Notable design enhancements extend to frameless door mirrors, sleek presenting door handles, and a wider rear bumper with integrated side vents and larger quad exhaust tailpipes, ensuring that the Vantage commands attention from every angle, epitomizing drama and sophistication in equal measure.
