New Aston Martin Vantage review!

Meet the all-new Aston Martin Vantage!
The Vantage is essentially Britain’s answer to the Porsche 911 Turbo S. The question is, does this all-new sports car have what it takes to go toe-to-toe with the class leader?
Well for starters, let’s take a closer look at the design. Up top the front end has been redesigned, and you’ll find a carbon fibre splitter down below, along with vents on the bonnet to help release air that comes in through the trademark Aston Martin grille. There are all-new matrix LED headlights, and all the vents you see serve a purpose. Around the back, there’s a large light bar along with a ducktail spoiler, and across the side, there are some extended side skirts. All-in-all, it looks fantastic!
Step inside and the interior set-up is very similar to recent Aston Martin releases like the DB12. The centre console comes covered in a multitude of buttons and rollers, and they’re all built to a high standard! Aston Martin now also has its own infotainment system, although if we’re being honest, it’s not exactly the best. Thankfully though that’s the only real negative of the interior. The cabin is built to a high standard using soft touch, and nice-quality materials throughout, and as you’d expect, the seats are super comfortable.
Then we get to the power source - the glorious 4-litre twin-turbo V8! It may be the same AMG unit as found in the previous car, but Aston Martin has been allowed to go to work with it for this new release. As a result, it comes with bigger turbos, and now produces 665hp and 800Nm! That’s 150hp more than the previous Vantage!
Naturally, all of this quality comes at a cost, with the new Vantage starting from £165,000. So is it worth it? You’ll need to stick with Mat and see for yourself!

[@_NobodyImportant]

🤣🤣🤣 this has to be deliberate

[@captain_context9991]

The reason why the exterior exhausts almost never connect with the actual exhaust system is... If you get an ever-so-slight bump by another car from the rear, the problem is that it will then push the exhaust system into the car. Wrecking the entire car all the way into the engine. Which is a massive, huge repair bill rather than just replacing the rear panel.

[@OutsideDuhBox]

Most exhaust systems are shaped in a manner that they will crumple and break at the clamps for this reason though...😅

The car looks so beautiful, aerodynamic, and powerful.

[@JasonAmir-qo4uo]

This car is powerful with its high-performance engine, so why is it a bit slower than the others

[@RoseBalerus]

it might be slightly slower than some competitors because it prioritizes a balance of luxury, handling, and performance, rather than outright speed alone.

[@EstherRoss-gm8qv]

True, it’s a car you enjoy driving every day, not just on the track.

[@JasonAmir-qo4uo]

That makes sense. The Vantage is known for its refined driving experience and comfort.

[@JasonAmir-qo4uo]

I really want one!

[@juan-heinrichbornman421]

When doing the car sound check, if you rev the car in Neutral instead of Park, that should remove the soft limiter.

[@alanwayte432]

As an owner of a 2020 Aston Vantage I think the interior is a massive step forward, but my car is already fast enough for rear wheel drive, I would rather have had a price around £135k and say 550hp, rather than £165k and 660hp, it’s not about 0-60 in this car, unless it’s 4 wheel drive it’s never ever going to beat a 911 in a standing start, but the midrange is already epic especially in the wet...great underrated car..

[@ayushmalpeddi2793]

True. After a certain point a front engine red car can only handle so much power to weight ratio. More than a lower price I'd like to see lower weight. These cars should not weigh 2 tons

[@thedalillama]

I love these cars except for the interiors. They seemed mismatched to me. This interior looks better to me.

[@user-qq2mo1ek2r]

Owner of a VH platform Vantage and driven the next gen Vantage plenty of times. What the new Vantage didn't need was more power. Even though the outgoing Vantage had a little over 500 bhp, it feels like much more (especially mid range) and it's an extremely fast car for our roads. This new one must feel epic.

[@antonwulp]

Sure looks a lot better, especially the interior. I had the V8 Vantage from 2006. Still one of the best designs ever.

[@MrVier]

Absolutely love the One-77 kind of styling, personally i really dig it.

Seems like One-77 got a total upgrade and overhaul on this car.
