The 2025 Aston Martin Vantage has a dramatic new body

and a significant power bump

It has contemporary technology, a superior cabin, and an extra 150 horsepower above the
previous model.

IThe time had come for Aston Martin to have an achievement in its roster. The preceding
year, it upgraded the DB12 model with a sharp and cool design that gobs with power, and an
exact type of infotainment one might expect from a premium GT. The Vantage, the
company's 'entry-level' model, has received similar treatment in the hopes of attracting a few
more customers away from Porsche shops.

Aston Martin is striving not simply to improve its automobiles, but also to change its image
—it wants to be perceived as more opulent than previously, while also putting as much power
into the cars as possible. At first sight, it appears like Aston has created something genuinely
beautiful.

The new vehicle produces about 150 horsepower (112 kW) more than the prior model, with
656 hp (490 kW) and 590 lb-ft (800 Nm) from a well equipped turbocharged 4.0 L V8. The
0-60 mph time is reported to be 3.4 seconds, and Aston reckons that given enough area (and
no speed limits), one may achieve speeds of over 200 mph (321 km/h).

Aston has seldom had an issue producing elegant vehicles. However. the new Vantage is an
exponential improvement following over its immediate predecessor. With the previous
automobile, the concept was that each model in the line-up would appear different based on
its function. It was designed to resemble an athletic, purposeful sports automobile, and it did.
However, it did not fully live up to the company's heritage.

The freshly released one definitely does. The new car resembles an Aston Martin from front
to end, with reworked headlights, grille, side ventilation systems, quad exhaust outlets, and
one of the most attractive rear ends on the automotive marketplace. Of course, some of the
changes are necessary—the front grille is about 38% bigger than before because a V8 with
that much power needs better cooling. In fact, if ones look closely, one might notice a
number of methods Aston has utilized to optimize cooling and airflow throughout the car.

Aston Martin has made it clear that there will be no more V12 Vantages, and that the
previous generation's version was the last of the line. The previous V8 Vantage may have
been almost as powerful, but the desire to separate from the V12 made it risky.

The exterior will turn heads, but the interior should make you happy. Today's Vantage
features the same configuration as the DB12: a 12.5-inch touch screen combined with
genuine buttons that perform actual stuff.

Historically, the Vantage has always been second to the vastly more popular Porsche 911 as
the default option for a daily driver sports vehicle for someone willing to spend six figures.
However, given the following car's massive power boost and a predicted price closer to
$200,000, we anticipate the 2025 model will be a little more exclusive.
