2025 Aston Martin Vantage: What’s New?

It may not look like it to the untrained eye, but the Aston Martin Vantage has enough changes from the inside out to make it an all-new model. The Vantage lineage goes back to the 1950s, but it wasn’t until 2019 that it became a driving tool to hunt down Porsches and Mercedes-AMGs.

The new Vantage is 30 millimeters wider and has a redesigned façade, including a more prominent grille opening that improves the mass airflow by 29 percent, which connotes some added muscle under the hood.

Furthermore, an integrated front splitter reduces lift at high speeds, while redesigned Matrix LED headlamps with integrated daytime running lights complete the moderate facelift.

Meanwhile, the sides feature the return of Aston Martin’s famous side strakes on the flanks, all with frameless door mirrors, flush door handles, and gorgeous 21-inch forged alloy wheels wrapped in bespoke AML-coded Michelin Pilot Sport S 5 tires. It has a wider rear bumper with side vents and quad exhaust tips to fortify the car’s muscular vibe.

Hand-Built Twin-Turbo V8 Engine

In addition, the engine pumps out 590 lb-ft. of torque, a healthy 15 percent gain.

All that twist goes to the rear wheels using an eight-speed ZF automatic transmission with a shorter 3.083:1 final drive ratio, optimized shift calibrations, and an electronic rear
