Get ready, speed and luxury lovers! Aston Martin has just thrown down the gauntlet to the competition with its new Vantage S, the pinnacle of performance in the Aston Martin lineup. This British sports car isn’t just another model – it’s a beast for those who want to feel power and elegance in one package.
Heart of the Vantage S: A Motor That Breaks Limits
The new Vantage S is powered by an upgraded 4.0-liter V8 twin-turbo engine, now delivering an impressive 535 horsepower at 6,750 rpm and a maximum torque of 685 Nm available between 3,000 and 5,000 rpm. What does this mean for you? A 0 to 100 km/h acceleration in just 3.3 seconds and a top speed of 314 km/h! Yes, you read that right – this car flies like it’s on wings of wind.
Tech Marvels and Aerodynamics
Aston Martin’s engineers didn’t stop at the engine. The launch control system has been improved, resulting in a 0.1-second faster acceleration compared to the standard model. The suspension has been completely reworked with Bilstein DTX adaptive dampers, and the rear subframe is now directly mounted to the body, delivering exceptional steering precision. Aerodynamic solutions are also top-notch – a new full-width rear spoiler increases downforce by 44 kg at top speed, and additional aerodynamic elements on the lower body add up to 60 kg of extra downforce. In short, this car is designed to stick to the asphalt like never before.
Design and Luxury in One Package
The Vantage S visually stands out from the standard model thanks to new ventilation openings on the hood, available in black gloss or carbon fiber. Discreet badges on the fenders and hand-crafted copper elements with red glass enamel give the car a special charm. The interior is a true luxury oasis – a combination of Alcantara leather and carbon fiber, with seats embroidered with the S logo featuring nearly 2,000 individual stitches and 16 meters of thread. This isn’t just a car; it’s a work of art on wheels.
When and Where?
The new Aston Martin Vantage S will be available in coupe and roadster versions, with first deliveries planned for the fourth quarter of 2023. The global premiere will take place at this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed, an event that gathers the most passionate car enthusiasts from around the world.
Bonus: Aston Martin DBS V8 from Orlando Bloom’s Collection
While we enjoy the new Vantage S, we can’t help but mention the Aston Martin DBS V8 that was part of Hollywood actor Orlando Bloom’s collection. This model, with a 5.4-liter V8 engine and 320 horsepower, was the fastest four-seat production sports car of its time. Unfortunately, at an auction held on July 8, 2023, the DBS V8 sold for only £63,000, half of the expected price. It seems even Hollywood glamour can’t always push a car’s price to the sky.
Conclusion
The Aston Martin Vantage S is not just a car – it’s a statement. A statement of power, luxury, and British tradition that has lasted for decades. With performance that will throw you into your seat and design that will turn heads, this model is ready to dominate the sports car world. If you love speed and style, it’s time to pay attention to this gem from Gaydon.
