Aston Martin Vantage S: Peak performance for track and road

Discover the new Aston Martin Vantage S with 680PS, refined chassis and GT3 links. Dynamic debut at Goodwood, deliveries in Q4 2025.

Aston Martin has officially unveiled the new pinnacle of its sports car line — the Vantage S. This fresh iteration builds on the legacy of the classic Vantage, but shifts the focus even further towards raw power and driver engagement.

Under the hood sits the tried-and-tested 4.0-litre V8 Twin-Turbo, now tuned to deliver an impressive 680PS and 800Nm of torque. Aston Martin’s engineers didn’t stop at boosting the numbers — they also reworked the throttle calibration and Launch Control system. The result is a 0-60mph sprint in just 3.3 seconds and a top speed that holds steady at 202mph.

Underneath, the Vantage S benefits from a host of chassis upgrades. Engineers have re-tuned the suspension hardware and Bilstein DTX dampers, mounted the rear subframe directly for sharper feel, and meticulously adjusted the suspension geometry. The goal: to combine thrilling cornering appetite with the marque’s signature refinement.

Visually, the Vantage S stands out with bold bonnet blades and a full-width rear spoiler, adding both drama and genuine downforce. With underbody tweaks, total downforce now reaches 111kg at top speed, helping keep the car planted at pace.

The interior proudly carries bespoke ‘S’ touches: Alcantara® and leather trim, satin carbon fibre inlays and countless handcrafted details. Subtle yet striking, the embroidered ‘S’ logos and anodised rotary controllers — available in red or silver — reinforce the sense that the Vantage S is as much about luxury and craftsmanship as it is about speed.

Beyond the road, the Vantage S is ready for the track. Backed by Aston Martin’s active GT racing programme, track-focused derivatives like the Vantage GT3 and GT4 have already proven themselves with class victories at the 24 Hours of Spa and further global racing plans, including Daytona.

Customer orders for the Vantage S are now open, and its dynamic debut can be witnessed at the upcoming Goodwood Festival of Speed. First deliveries are set to begin in Q4 2025.
