Design

Widely acclaimed as one of the world’s most beautiful cars, the Vantage is a lesson in proportion, stance and sculptural form. The long, low bonnet line and broad rear haunches suggest power and aggression, while the clean, unadulterated profile and minimal overhangs express its modernity and sharp dynamic focus.

The Vantage S showcases aerodynamic refinements featured in Aston Martin’s GT4 motorsport programme. At the front a deeper bumper and aggressive carbon fibre splitter pluck more downforce from the airflow for increased stability at speed, while pronounced side sills reduce aerodynamic lift and give the flanks greater definition. At the rear the V8 Vantage S’s tailgate is shaped into a more pronounced upswept ‘flip’ – again to reduce lift – and a carbon fibre diffuser helps extract air from beneath the car.
