21 November 2017, Gaydon: Vantage.
An evocative name for a magnificent bloodline of
thoroughbred sports cars. For seven decades the heartbeat of Aston Martin’s purest models, the
Vantage nameplate has been worn by some true icons. First used in 1951 on a high-output engine
option for the DB2, Vantage was quickly established as a model in its own right. Highlights include
the William Towns-designed V8 Vantage, spectacular twin-supercharged V600 Le Mans and the
much-loved V8 Vantage. Today this formidable sporting dynasty is poised to hit new heights with
the introduction of the new Vantage.
A spectacular new Aston Martin sports car demands a bold and distinctive design language. Pure,
sculptural forms create an athletic, predatory stance, while the minimal front and rear overhangs,
muscular flanks and broad haunches express the agility and dynamism inherent within the car.
New head and tail lights form dramatic new signatures giving the Vantage unmistakable road
presence and contribute to a strong and individual identity within the growing Aston Martin model
range.
Aerodynamic performance was central to the Vantage design concept: the front splitter directs
airflow underneath the car, where a system of fences channels cooling air where it is needed, and
also ensures the rear diffuser is fed with clean airflow. The design of the diffuser creates an area of
low pressure air, while simultaneously preventing turbulence generated by the rear wheels from
disrupting the flow of air exiting centrally from beneath the rear of the car.
Together with the new side gills, which have been integrated into the body surface and bleed air
pressure out from the front wheel arches, and the pronounced upswept rear deck lid, the Vantage
generates a significant level of downforce - a rarity on any production car and a first for a core
production Aston Martin model.
The design story continues inside the Vantage, with a dynamic and focused sports car cockpit that
rejects long, fluid curves in favour of sharp, focused lines denoting the more aggressive nature of
the car. A high waist interior theme and lower driving position creates a more immersive driving
experience, and contributes to significant gains in occupant space and significant improvement in
headroom compared with the outgoing Vantage. A combination of rotary and toggle style controls
have been used for their tactile and intuitive functionality. Likewise, the PRND transmission buttons
have been moved into a triangular formation so as to cluster major controls into clearly defined
zones. The interior also offers generous stowage space, with useable room behind the seats and
generous double-tier storage areas.
The heart of the Vantage is Aston Martin’s potent new alloy, 4-litre twin-turbo V8 engine. Set low
and as far back in the chassis as possible for optimal centre-of-gravity and perfect 50:50 weight
distribution, this high performance, high efficiency engine returns a CO2 figure of *245g/km yet
develops 510PS at 6000rpm and 685Nm from 2000-5000rpm. With a dry weight of 1530kg this
gives the Vantage formidable power-to-weight and torque-to-weight ratios - something vividly
demonstrated whenever the throttle is squeezed. Detailed tuning of the induction, exhaust and
engine management systems has given the Vantage a truly intoxicating character and soundtrack.
The Vantage deploys its impressive power and torque to the rear wheels via a rear-mounted ZF
eight-speed automatic transmission. Capable of accelerating from 0 to 60mph in 3.5 seconds and
on to a maximum speed of 195mph, it employs a sophisticated suite of integrated electronic
systems to offer maximum control and driver enjoyment. These include Dynamic Stability Control
and Dynamic Torque Vectoring. The speed-dependent electric power steering has 2.4 turns lockto-lock
for an outstanding combination of responsiveness and precise, intuitive control.
For the first time on an Aston Martin the new Vantage also features an Electronic Rear Differential
(E-Diff). This differential is linked to the car’s electronic stability control system, so it can
understand the car’s behaviour, and react accordingly to direct the engine’s power to the relevant
wheel. Unlike a conventional LSD, it can go from fully open to 100% locked in a matter of
milliseconds. At higher speeds, the Electronic Differential’s speed and sensitivity of response
enables the system to take very fine control of the car’s dynamic behaviour. It makes the car feel
much more composed both in terms of its straight-line stability and its cornering performance,
providing the driver with increased levels of confidence to explore and enjoy the car’s capabilities
to the full.
The chassis is an evolution of the latest generation bonded aluminium structure first seen on the
DB11, though some 70 per cent of the structure’s components are new for Vantage. Balance,
strength, rigidity and weight efficiency were all priorities in the new Vantage design, as was
handling purity and consistency. Highlights of the chassis include a solidly mounted rear subframe
for an enhanced feeling of direct connection for the driver, new Pirelli P Zero tyres developed
specifically for new Vantage and the latest generation Adaptive Damping System which
incorporates Skyhook technology and offers the choice of Sport, Sport Plus and Track modes.
Thanks to full integration of engine, transmission, E-Diff, Dynamic Torque Vectoring, Dynamic
Stability Control, Adaptive Damping and the electric power steering systems, each mode optimises
every area of the car as one. With each step the Vantage gains in agility and responsiveness, its
character becoming progressively sharper, more vocal and more exciting. This is the essence of
the Vantage driving experience - a car that’s never less than connected and engaging with the
breadth of capability to revel in challenging roads and bare its teeth on track.
The Vantage features a high level of standard equipment, including keyless start/stop, tyre
pressure monitoring system, parking distance display, park assist and front and rear parking
sensors. The In-Car Entertainment system - controlled and viewed via a centrally mounted 8” LCD
screen - comprises of the Aston Martin Audio System, Bluetooth® audio and phone streaming,
iPod®, iPhone® and USB playback and an integrated satellite navigation system.
Being an Aston Martin, the new Vantage also features a high level of craftsmanship, evidenced by
flawless paintwork, luxurious Alcantara® and leather upholstery and the levels of finish optimised
through the use of tactile natural materials of the highest quality. There is also extensive scope for
personalisation via a generous choice of options. These include forged alloy wheels in a variety of
finishes, Sports Plus Collection (comprising Sports Plus seats and Sports steering wheel), carbon
fibre interior and exterior detailing and a Premium Audio System.
Aston Martin President Chief Executive Officer, Dr Andy Palmer said: “It speaks volumes for the
outgoing Vantage that it is the single most successful model in Aston Martin’s history. Creating a
worthy successor has been a challenge to relish and a huge source of motivation. I’m enormously
excited by what we’ve created: a new Vantage that’s more explicit in looks and intent, wrapping
heart-pounding performance and dazzling dynamics into an everyday usable package. A true
sports car with a sharper look and a keener dynamic edge, the new Vantage is the Aston Martin
pure driving machine enthusiasts have been waiting for.”
The new Vantage is on sale now with a recommended retail price from £120,900 in the UK,
€154,000 in Germany and $149,995 in the USA. Deliveries are scheduled to begin during the
second quarter of 2018.
