The 202-mph beast redefines speed and luxury with its hand-built 656-hp V8 engine. Designed for true enthusiasts, this Vantage delivers unmatched performance and iconic style.

The world of high-performance cars is constantly evolving, but Aston Martin’s latest creation takes things to a new level. Enter the 202-mph Vantage, a sleek machine that combines pure speed, precision engineering, and luxury in every detail. Touted as Aston Martin’s fastest Vantage yet, this stunning grand tourer is a testament to the brand’s commitment to pushing boundaries.
Before anyone else had the chance to experience it, the prototype of the new Vantage found its way into the hands of Lawrence Stroll, Aston Martin’s Executive Chairman. A Canadian billionaire and avid car enthusiast, Stroll has been instrumental in steering the brand toward new heights since taking over in 2020. His passion for the marque is undeniable, as he ensures each new model meets his high expectations. His goal? To create vehicles that blend luxury with performance, surpassing the competition.
Stroll’s attention to detail and love for Aston Martin’s heritage has driven his decisions, from greenlighting cutting-edge development to ensuring the Vantage maintains its standing as a driver’s car of choice. According to Renato Bisignani, Aston Martin’s global head of marketing, Stroll wants a car he can enjoy daily—one that delivers on both luxury and performance.

The new Vantage is no ordinary sports car. With design cues inspired by Aston Martin’s famed One-77, the Vantage has transformed from the brand’s “entry-level” model into a formidable speed machine. Powered by a hand-built 656-horsepower twin-turbo V8 engine, it rockets from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.4 seconds, reaching a blistering top speed of 202 mph. This represents a 30% increase in power over its predecessor, making it the fastest and most aggressive Vantage to date.
Aston Martin’s CEO, Amedeo Felisa, describes the new model as an “unwavering commitment to high performance in its purest and most explicit form.” Designed for real drivers, this car is a celebration of power, precision, and razor-sharp handling—a rarity in today’s market flooded with supercars more suited for social media than serious driving.

Beyond its mind-blowing speed, the Vantage is a masterpiece of automotive design. Marek Reichman, Aston Martin’s Chief Creative Officer, notes that the car’s muscular build and sculptural form were inspired by the One-77, while also taking things further. “One look and you know it packs a real punch,” Reichman says, pointing to the perfect balance between raw power and elegant proportions.

This blend of instant visual impact and lasting sophistication is mirrored in the driving experience itself. As Reichman explains, the Vantage’s enhanced physique reflects the massive boost in performance, ensuring that it not only looks the part but drives like a thoroughbred.
The Vantage name has been a part of Aston Martin’s history since the 1950s when it first appeared as a performance upgrade for the DB2. Over the decades, the Vantage has evolved, with each iteration adding to its reputation as a car synonymous with style, speed, and inimitable character. Today’s Vantage carries on this proud tradition, solidifying its place in the marque’s storied lineup.

The new model’s debut was nothing short of spectacular. Launched earlier this year at a VIP event in Seville, Spain, Aston Martin showcased the Vantage on the Circuito Monteblanco track. Known for its challenging layout and long stretches, the circuit was the perfect stage for the Vantage to show off its prowess. The choice of Seville, one of Europe’s most picturesque cities, only added to the glamour.
In a nod to its motorsport roots, Aston Martin collaborated with none other than Fernando Alonso, lead driver for the Aston Martin Aramco Formula One team, during the Vantage’s development. With Alonso’s input, the car has been fine-tuned for an exhilarating driving experience, making it as comfortable on the track as it is on the road.

The connection between Aston Martin’s F1 efforts and its road cars doesn’t end there. The Vantage is also serving as the official F1 safety car for the 2024 season, underscoring its place as a true driver’s car. As Aston Martin expands its motorsport footprint, the new Vantage plays a key role in reinforcing the brand’s commitment to both performance and racing heritage.

Aston Martin’s ambitions don’t stop with the Vantage. The brand is set to make waves in the coming years, with plans to compete for an overall win at Le Mans in 2025 with the 1,160-hp Valkyrie AMR-LMH hypercar. While the Vantage represents the pinnacle of the brand’s road car offerings, the Valkyrie promises to take things to an entirely different level, bringing the Aston Martin name back to the forefront of endurance racing.

As Lawrence Stroll continues to push Aston Martin into a new era, the Vantage stands as a symbol of what’s possible when luxury, performance, and passion collide. Whether on the road or the track, this supercar offers a driving experience that few others can match, capturing the hearts of those who crave speed, style, and excitement.

For those lucky enough to get behind the wheel, the Vantage delivers an unforgettable ride—a journey into the very essence of Aston Martin’s relentless pursuit of perfection.
