Aston Martin Vantage: Spec upgrades

The new Aston Martin Vantage features an aluminium body structure and continues to be offered exclusively with rear-wheel drive. Aston Martin engineers have worked to make the Vantage perfectly balanced in weight distribution, reaching an ideal 50:50 weight distribution.

It comes fitted with Bilstein DTX adaptive dampers with an electronic rear differential, riding on 21-inch alloys fitted with Michelin Pilot Sport S 5 tires. Carbon-ceramic brakes are standard, too, for enhanced stopping power.

Under the hood, the Aston Martin Vantage gets a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 now making 656 bhp with 800 Nm of torque compared to 503 bhp and 685 Nm in the old model. This gain in power sees the new Vantage do its sprint from 0-100 kmph in a scant 3.5 seconds while its top speed has been electronically pegged at 325 kmph, making this the quickest Vantage till date. The V8 is mated to an eight-speed automatic gearbox.
