Aston Martin has introduced the new Vantage S, the most performance-focused model in the Vantage lineup to date. Making its global dynamic debut at the 2025 Goodwood Festival of Speed, the Vantage S is a dramatic evolution of the marque’s front-engine sports car, boasting 680PS and 800Nm of torque from its re-engineered 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8.

With a 0–60mph time cut to 3.3 seconds, the Vantage S is not just faster, it’s sharper, more responsive, and more refined. Engineers recalibrated the throttle mapping and retuned the Bilstein DTX adaptive dampers for increased agility and feedback. Suspension hardware and subframe adjustments tighten steering connection, while careful tweaks to spring rates and powertrain mounts preserve ride quality and composure.
Visually, the Vantage S introduces a bolder aerodynamic identity. New bonnet blades in gloss black or carbon fibre and a full-width rear spoiler add 111kg of total downforce at top speed, without compromising balance. A discreet brass ‘S’ badge, inlaid with red enamel, nods to Aston Martin’s performance lineage while marking the Vantage S as something distinct.
Inside, the cabin reflects the car’s dynamic intent with a unique Alcantara and leather ‘Accelerate’ interior, embroidered ‘S’ logos, and satin carbon fibre inlays. A red or silver anodised rotary control, colour-matched to seatbelt, stitching, and embroidery, anchors the drive mode interface. Optional Inspire Sport interiors in semi-aniline leather introduce a heightened sense of luxury, with details like chevron quilting and embossed Aston Martin wings.
Offered in both Coupe and Roadster configurations, the Vantage S reaffirms the brand’s legacy of high-performance ‘S’ models, from the Vanquish S to the V8 and V12 Vantage S. Deliveries are set to begin in Q4 2025, offering customers a machine that channels Aston Martin’s racing pedigree with modern precision and unmistakable presence.
