Sine first debuting the nameplate around 1950s, the Aston Martin Vantage name has always been synonymous with style, class, and, above all, extreme performance. And the nameplate’s thoroughbred tradition is now being carried on for the latest iteration of the badge, the 2025 Aston Martin Vantage.
The new and improved Aston Martin Vantage benefits from updates and changes in three key areas. Now sporting a track that’s been widened by some 30mm, the latest AM Vantage sports a much more muscular and aggressive appearance that also benefits from a redesigned front-end with a bigger grille and more efficient airflow, plus a new integrated front splitter, and Matrix LED headlights. Inside, the new Vantage has been even more dramatically altered. The cabin now features hand-stitched sport seats trimmed in leather from Bridge of Weir, as well as a markedly more advanced infotainment display, and an available ultra-premium sound system from Aston Matin’s audio partner Bowers & Wilkins.
Though the first two of this trio’s areas of updates are noteworthy, the model’s most substantial revision is no doubt what lies beneath the surface. Now sporting a perfect 50:50 weight distribution, the car is kicked along by a newly-upgraded, hand-built twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 engine. Fed through an electronic rear differential before finally being transmitted to the ground via a set of AML-specific 21” Michelin Pilot S 5 tires, the 2025 model year Vantage is able to generates a very respectable 565hp and 590ft-lbs of torque — affording it the ability to reach 60mph from a complete standstill in just 3.4 seconds and ultimately achieve a top speed of over 200mph (202mph to be exact). Other noteworthy additions include the 2025 Vantage being bestowed with an industry-leading suite of Active Vehicle Dynamics, plus top-of-the-line and thoroughly cutting-edge Bilstein DTX adaptive dampers.
Deliveries for the 2025 Aston Martin Vantage are scheduled to begin in the second half of 2024. And while pricing for the new Vantage has yet to be revealed, we anticipate a starting price of just below $200,000. Alongside the new and improved 2025 model year Vantage, Aston Martin has also debuted its new competition-spec version of the supercar with the Vantage GT3. Built to spec for FIA GT3 and new LMGT3 class competition, the GT3-spec Vantage features a full aero kit, a reworked twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8, and a suite of upgraded running gear including heavily-upgraded suspension.
