…Read More The new Aston Martin Vantage S adds performance over the existing luxury sports car. View Personalised Offers on Check Offers Aston Martin has introduced the Vantage S, a new performance-focused variant of its sports car, aimed at delivering enhanced power and handling over the standard model. The launch follows the recent debut of the DBX S SUV and continues the brand’s tradition of using the ‘S’ suffix for upgraded versions of core models. The Vantage S follows a familiar pattern for Aston Martin, which in the past has released ‘S’ variants as more focused versions of its regular offerings. The approach was first seen with the Vanquish S in 2004, and later with V8 and V12 Vantage S models. According to CEO Adrian HalLMark, the new model builds on the brand’s established characteristics of performance and driving involvement, aiming to push the limits of the platform’s potential. Aston Martin Vantage S: Engine and performanceThe Vantage S is powered by an updated version of Aston Martin’s 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine, now producing 671 bhp and 800 Nm of torque. According to the company, this results in a 0 to 100 kmph time of 3.3 seconds, with a top speed of 325 kmph. Calibration changes to the throttle response and launch control have been made to sharpen driver engagement and improve acceleration. Chassis and suspension components have also been revised. These include updates to the adaptive dampers, powertrain mounts, and suspension geometry. Aston Martin says these changes improve front-end grip and overall composure without compromising ride comfort. The rear subframe is now directly mounted to the body, a change aimed at increasing steering precision. Also Read : Aston Martin Vanquish Volante makes global debut.

Optional 21-inch wheels with red accents and matching brake callipers are available, along with other visual cues intended to distinguish the Vantage S from the standard model.
