The Aston Martin Vantage S represents the most focused and dynamically capable version of the Vantage ever produced. Combining 680PS from a hand-built twin-turbocharged V8 engine with extensive chassis enhancements, aerodynamic upgrades and a sharper driver-focused character, the Vantage S elevates Aston Martin’s acclaimed sports car into true supercar territory.
Available in both Coupe and Roadster forms, the Vantage S has been engineered for drivers seeking greater agility, precision and engagement without compromising the luxury craftsmanship and road usability expected from Aston Martin.
As an official Aston Martin retailer in Walton-on-Thames, Surrey, HWM Aston Martin is proud to introduce the latest chapter in the iconic Aston Martin ‘S’ lineage.
The Aston Martin Vantage S is the new halo performance model within the Vantage range. Building upon the already highly acclaimed Vantage platform, the S introduces increased power, revised chassis tuning, enhanced aerodynamics and a more aggressive sporting character.
Aston Martin’s famous “S” designation has historically been reserved for the marque’s sharpest and most engaging performance cars, including:
The new Vantage S continues that tradition with a combination of:
The result is a sports car engineered to deliver exceptional driver engagement while retaining Aston Martin’s unmistakable sense of luxury and craftsmanship.
At the heart of the Vantage S sits Aston Martin’s hand-crafted all-aluminium 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine.
The upgraded powertrain now produces:
Peak torque is delivered from just 3,000rpm through to 6,000rpm, creating immense mid-range performance and immediate throttle response.
Power is sent exclusively to the rear wheels through:
Specification | Vantage S Coupe |
Engine | 4.0L Twin-Turbo V8 |
Power | 680PS / 671bhp |
Torque | 800Nm |
Transmission | 8-Speed Automatic |
Drivetrain | Rear-Wheel Drive |
0-60mph | 3.3 Seconds |
0-100mph | 6.8 Seconds |

The Vantage S also benefits from recalibrated launch control software and revised accelerator mapping, creating sharper throttle modulation and improved driver connection.
The defining characteristic of the Vantage S is not simply outright power, but the way the car responds to driver inputs.
Aston Martin engineers focused extensively on improving:
Key chassis modifications include:
The solid aluminium rear subframe mounts increase torsional stiffness by 5%, improving rear-end stability and chassis response.
Meanwhile, revised camber, caster and toe settings improve front-end grip and steering accuracy, helping the Vantage S feel even more precise and engaging at speed.
Visually, the Vantage S introduces a more assertive and purposeful aerodynamic profile.
New design features include:
The new rear spoiler increases rear downforce by 44kg at maximum speed, while total aerodynamic downforce rises by 111kg. Aston Martin has deliberately biased this additional downforce toward the front axle to maximise cornering grip and steering confidence.
The bonnet blades are both functional and dramatic, helping extract hot air from the engine bay while visually reinforcing the Vantage S’s increased performance intent.
Optional carbon fibre exterior packages allow owners to specify:
Inside, the Vantage S blends motorsport-inspired detailing with handcrafted British luxury.
Interior environments include:
Unique Vantage S interior details include:
A standout innovation is the optional sculpted leather Aston Martin wings headrest design. Using over 1,500kg of pressure and heat, Aston Martin creates a deeply sculpted and highly detailed wings emblem directly into the leather surface.
The effect delivers remarkable visual depth and craftsmanship unlike anything else currently available in the automotive industry.
For drivers seeking maximum performance capability, the Vantage S offers optional carbon ceramic brakes.

Benefits include:
This reduction in unsprung weight significantly improves both ride control and handling precision.
