Aston Martin has officially revealed the new Vantage S, a high-performance evolution of its renowned sports car, blending enhanced power, razor-sharp handling, and unmistakable design into one of the most exhilarating models in the brand’s history.
Unveiled ahead of its dynamic debut at the 2025 Goodwood Festival of Speed, the Vantage S channels Aston Martin’s motorsport heritage while pushing the limits of the brand’s front-engine platform. At its core lies a tuned 4.0-litre V8 Twin-Turbo engine producing a class-defining 680PS and 800Nm of torque, accelerating from 0–60 mph in just 3.3 seconds. Performance enhancements include bespoke throttle mapping, refined pedal response, and reworked launch control for sharper driver feedback.
The Vantage S isn’t just more powerful—it’s more connected to the road. An extensive chassis retune features revised damper settings, improved powertrain mounts, and a rigid rear subframe mounting for precision handling. Meanwhile, suspension geometry and software calibrations deliver sharper cornering, front-end grip, and dynamic balance, all without compromising ride comfort. Even the 10% reduction in transmission mount stiffness is engineered to make the car more refined under load.
Aerodynamics play a starring role in this model’s identity. A new centrally-mounted bonnet blade and a full-width rear decklid spoiler deliver an additional 111kg of downforce at top speed—44kg of which is generated from the spoiler alone. These enhancements not only aid stability and turn-in but also express the Vantage S’s assertive, high-performance persona. Optional carbon fibre details, bronze brake calipers, and 21″ Y-spoke wheels with red graphics complete the look.
Inside, the Vantage S carries forward the tradition of craftsmanship with a sporty yet luxurious approach. Standard interiors feature an Alcantara® and leather “Accelerate” trim, carbon fibre inlays, and embroidered ‘S’ logos using over 2,500 stitches. New anodised red or silver rotary dials add flair and are matched with seatbelts, stitching, and headrest embroidery. For ultimate luxury, the Inspire Sport interior package introduces semi-aniline leather and chevron-quilted perforations that evoke speed in motion.
Chief Executive Officer Adrian Hallmark encapsulates the ambition behind the model: “Exceeding the exhilaration of the Vantage was no small task, but with Vantage S we’ve created a car that’s sharper, faster, and more engaging, without sacrificing the refinement our clients expect.”
Continuing Aston Martin’s lineage of ‘S’ models dating back to the 1953 DB3S, the Vantage S affirms its status as a spiritual successor to icons like the V8 and V12 Vantage S. With its unique mix of engineering prowess, design artistry, and handcrafted detail, it promises a deeply engaging experience for true driving enthusiasts.
Aston Martin fans will witness the Vantage S make its world debut in motion at this weekend’s Goodwood Festival of Speed, where it will storm up the legendary hill climb, showcasing its dynamic credentials. Following this, the Vantage S will be available to order globally, with first deliveries set to begin in Q4 2025.
The Vantage S is not just a car—it’s a statement. It reflects a brand confident in its legacy and bolder in its future, elevating Aston Martin’s position in the ultra-luxury sports car segment.
