Just Unveiled: Aston Martin Vantage S! [Jul 10, 2025]
?? Aston Martin Vantage S Review: A Sharper, Faster Vantage Unleashed
Aston Martin has taken the wraps off the new Vantage S, a high-performance evolution of its acclaimed sports coupe. With its sights firmly set on track-day enthusiasts and purists, the Vantage S ups the ante in power, precision, and aerodynamic aggression — while retaining the luxurious edge expected from the marque.
?? Performance & Engine Dynamics
At the heart of the Vantage S is a heavily reworked 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8, now tuned to churn out a thrilling 671 bhp and 800 Nm of torque. The upgrades translate into electrifying performance — 0-100 kmph in just 3.3 seconds, and a top speed of 325 kmph. Revised throttle calibration and sharper launch control ensure the driver is more connected than ever to the car’s explosive potential.
?? Chassis and Ride Handling
Aston Martin hasn’t just added power — it has re-engineered how it’s delivered. The adaptive dampers, suspension geometry, and powertrain mounts have all been revised to offer sharper turn-in and improved composure. Notably, the rear subframe is now directly mounted to the chassis, enhancing steering feel without ruining ride comfort. The changes add confidence on both road and track.
?? Aerodynamics & Design
Form follows function in the Vantage S. It sports a centrally mounted bonnet blade for better engine cooling, a larger rear decklid spoiler to increase downforce, and a reworked underbody that contributes to 111 kg of aerodynamic downforce at speed — with a front-biased setup for sharper cornering. Subtle ‘S’ badging and aerodynamic tweaks distinguish it visually from the standard model.
??? Interior & Customisation
The cabin is a focused mix of Alcantara and leather, complemented by carbon fibre trim and embroidered ‘S’ logos. Weight-saving details are subtle but present. Buyers can further personalise the interior with options like a colour-matched drive mode selector, custom seatbelt colours, and unique upholstery choices — all part of Aston’s bespoke offering.
?? Launch & Availability
The Vantage S will make its dynamic debut at the 2025 Goodwood Festival of Speed, participating in the hill climb event. It is now available to order in both Coupe and Roadster versions, with first deliveries expected in Q4 2025.
? Expert Verdict
The Aston Martin Vantage S is not just a power bump — it’s a comprehensive refinement of an already engaging platform. With deeper chassis tuning, stronger aerodynamics, and a sharper driving feel, it becomes an ideal choice for buyers seeking the thrill of track-ready performance without sacrificing luxury. The Vantage S cements itself as a true driver’s car in the Aston lineup.
