The 2025 Aston Martin Vantage undergoes significant enhancements, bidding farewell to the V-12 concept and embracing a more powerful 4.0-liter V-8 engine. The hand-built engine now boasts a remarkable 655 horsepower and 590 lb-ft of torque, marking a 30% increase in power and a 15% boost in torque. This impressive performance upgrade is attributed to modified cam profiles, optimized compression ratios, larger turbochargers, and an enhanced cooling system featuring three additional radiators.

Acceleration from 0-60 mph is achieved in just 3.4 seconds, supported by rear-wheel grip and a customizable launch control system. The top speed has been elevated to 202 mph, and the final drive ratio shortened to 3.083:1, paired with a retuned ZF 8-speed auto transmission.
The Vantage’s bonded aluminum structure ensures a 50:50 weight distribution, with added stiffening of the underbody. Front suspension improvements include adjustments to the front body cross member and an enhanced front engine cross brace for increased mounting point stiffness. The rear suspension towers receive lateral strengthening, resulting in a 29% improvement in stiffness under cornering load. To complement the increased power, the car features updated adaptive dampers with a “500 percent” increase in force distribution bandwidth, enhancing tuning in various drive modes.
Inside the cabin, the 2025 Vantage boasts a new Bowers & Wilkins audio system, sleek air vents, tactile switches on the center console, a 10.25-inch touchscreen compatible with the Aston Martin owner app, 3D map navigation with What 3 Words compatibility, and 4G LTE connectivity. The interior is adorned with hand-stitched Bridge of Weir hides.
The exterior enhancements include 21-inch forged alloy wheels, Michelin Pilot Sport S 5 tires, a wider body, a 38% larger grille design, revived Aston side strakes, frameless door treatment, and a larger quad exhaust. Optional features include a bronze treatment for wheels and carbon ceramic brakes that reduce the car’s weight by up to 60 pounds.
Anticipated to start deliveries early in the second quarter of this year, the 2025 Vantage is expected to be priced around $200,000, reflecting the remarkable performance improvements.
