VANTAGE DEMANDS A PURPOSEFUL DESIGN.
Like the archetypal hunter, everything has been finely tuned for a purpose. Masterfully, Aston Martin’s closely guarded principles of purity and beautiful proportion remain uncompromised. Sculptural forms create an athletic predatory stance, while muscular flanks and broad haunches express the agility and dynamism inherent to the car. The nose of the clamshell bonnet is pitched towards the ground, as if hunting its prey. Distinctive and assertive features like the three-dimensional S curve surrounding the meshed grille, or the focused expression of its ultra-slim LED headlights, instantly portray Vantage’s beautifully intense visual character.
Ever since the nameplate launched in the 1950s as an upgrade to the DB2, Vantage has been synonymous with performance. Since then it has become our flagship sports car. Its continued success in World Endurance Racing, as recently as 2017’s GTE Pro category class victory at Le Mans 24 Hours, has underpinned Aston Martin’s racing DNA.
That pedigree is now resolutely honed for performance and contemporary style. The traditional side strake has been reinvented for more dynamic benefits, ducting air from the wheels to reduce drag. In a first for an Aston Martin production car, the underside of the car has been designed to guide airflow from the front splitter to the rear diffuser producing downforce for increased grip and enhanced stability. The signature ultra-slim rear light graphic that illuminates the fullwidth of the tailgate, is accentuated by the flick in the Vantage’s tail, expressing the car’s animalistic character. Vantage’s attributes are provocatively brandished in what is set to become an iconic symbol of performance.
The inherent sporting agility comes from its compact dimensions, an impressive weight of just 1,530kg* and near perfect 50:50 weight distribution. A rigid subframe delivers enhanced stability for the suspension. The over whelming benefit is beautifully responsive control behind the wheel; car and driver connecting symbiotically to deliver unrivalled excitement and dynamic drivability.
More technological innovation comes with Dynamic Torque Vectoring and an Electronic Rear Differential, linked to the Vantage’s electronic stabilit y control system. A first for an Aston Martin, the Electronic Rear Differential’s speed and sensitivit y of response enhances cornering performance, high speed stabilit y and manoeuvrabilit y, enabling the driver to fully explore the Vantage’s dynamic capabilities.
Aston Martin engineers have tuned the induction, exhaust and engine management system to retain the truly intoxicating sound and immersive character of a naturally aspirated V8 – that unforgettable quality synonymous with an Aston Martin. In Track mode it can be felt especially, amplifying the driver’s connection with the car and unleashing the car’s track capabilities to intensify the experience in the cabin.
