First Vantage with a Twin-Turbo V8 The 2018 Vantage was the first in the model’s history to feature a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8, sourced from Mercedes-AMG, producing 503 hp and 685 Nm (505 lb-ft) of torque.
0-100 km/h in Just 3.6 Seconds Thanks to its lightweight aluminum chassis and twin-turbo V8, the Vantage can accelerate from 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) in just 3.6 seconds, with a top speed of 314 km/h (195 mph).
First Aston Martin with an Electronic Rear Differential (E-Diff) The 2018 Vantage introduced Aston Martin’s first-ever electronic rear differential, which can switch between fully open and fully locked in milliseconds for better handling.
Designed with Aerodynamics in Mind The Vantage features aggressive aerodynamics, including a front splitter, rear diffuser, and an integrated ducktail spoiler, improving downforce without the need for an active wing.
Shares DNA with the DB11 but is More Focused While based on the DB11’s aluminum platform, the Vantage is 100mm shorter, has 50/50 weight distribution, and is more track-focused, making it a true sports car.
Available with a 7-Speed Manual Transmission In 2019, Aston Martin introduced the Vantage AMR, featuring a 7-speed manual transmission, making it one of the last high-performance cars to offer a manual option.
F1 Safety Car Version The Aston Martin Vantage became the official Formula 1 safety car in 2021, receiving a tuned 535 hp engine, aerodynamic upgrades, and a special light bar.
Hand-Built in Gaydon, England Each Vantage is hand-assembled at Aston Martin’s Gaydon factory in the UK, ensuring exclusive craftsmanship and attention to detail.
Interior Features Mercedes-Benz Technology Due to its partnership with Mercedes-AMG, the Vantage uses a modified version of Mercedes’ COMAND infotainment system, featuring an 8-inch screen and premium materials.
Competitor to the Porsche 911 and AMG GT With its aggressive styling, twin-turbo V8, and precise handling, the Vantage directly rivals the Porsche 911, Mercedes-AMG GT, and Jaguar F-Type R in the luxury sports car segment.

The Aston Martin Vantage is the brand’s rawest, most aggressive sports car. A 510hp twin-turbo V8 beast with Mercedes-AMG power and 007-worthy styling. More driver-focused than a Porsche 911 Turbo and rarer than an Audi R8, it’s a modern classic in the making, especially in manual or V12 form.
