This latest Vantage is the first Aston Martin developed from start to finish under the company’s new leadership team – and it shows. The brand is a brilliant British success story and the Vantage a fantastically well-rounded sports car.

Let’s start with the design. It looks stunning from behind, with a majestically rising rear spoiler and delightfully detailed lights. It’s a little plainer at the shark-nosed (and slightly Lightning McQueen-esque) front, but proportionally it’s absolutely perfect.

The cabin covered in luxurious leather and typical Aston detailing. The new Vantage is simply sensational.

Under the skin, the Vantage shares much with the DB11. That includes the fabulous, Mercedes sourced 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8; tweaked and tuned in-house for what Aston feels are the right power characteristics. The noise is a little less shouty than in an AMG, too. This Engine will present you with 503bhp and 685Nm of torque, coupled with a ZF eight-speed automatic Gearbox.

Along with double-wishbone suspension at the front, the Vantage uses a solid subframe and multi-link set-up at the rear, offering more of a connection to the road. There’s also an electronic differential.

The driving position is spot on with plenty of adjustment to make you feel totally connected to the controls.

In edition to a highly spec from factory, this car also comes with the following options.

Aston Martin Premium Audio, Sports plus Package, Sports plus Seats, Electric steering Column, New Vaned Front Grill, Rear Clear smoked lights, Sports exhaust Package,
