Aston Martin Vantage (2018)

The Vantage uses Mercedes-AMG's M177,[8] 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine that has a power output of 510 PS (375 kW; 503 hp) and 505 lb⋅ft (685 N⋅m) of torque as is equipped with the Mercedes COMAND system.

[10][11] The Vantage uses a rear-mounted 8-speed automatic gearbox manufactured by ZF Friedrichshafen, and will be the only vehicle that pairs the Mercedes-AMG V8 with a manual transmission when the combination is made available.

[16] The design of the Vantage is inspired by the track-only Vulcan and the purpose made DB10 that appeared in the James Bond film Spectre.

[17] For purposes of weight saving, the Vantage forfeits the passenger glove compartment and maintains a simple centre console design.

Available exterior colours for the AMR include Sabiro Blue, Onyx Black, China Grey and White Stone.

The final 59 cars will be finished in a Sterling Green exterior colour with Lime accents and will pay homage to the 1959 24 Hours of LeMans victory of Aston Martin.

Inspired by the Aston Martin V8 Vantage from the 1987 James Bond film The Living Daylights, the Vantage 007 Edition comes equipped with a unique mesh grille and chrome bezel, as well as Cumberland Grey exterior paint over an obsidian black leather interior.

[27] It uses a version of the Vantage roadster's bonded aluminium chassis, along with most of the front-end structure of the DBS Superleggera grafted on to accommodate the larger size of its V12.

[32][33] The F1 Edition is a version of the V8 Coupe and V8 Roadster commemorating Aston Martin's return to Formula One after 61 years.

[35][36] The car is available in three colours: Aston Martin Racing Green, Jet Black, and Lunar White.

[43][44] It uses Aston Martin's AE31 5.2-litre twin-turbocharged V12 and has a power output of 700 PS (515 kW; 690 hp) and 555 lb-ft (753 Nm) of torque.

Additionally, the V12 Vantage features revised suspension, a 40mm increase in track width, a new aerodynamic kit which generates up to 204 kg (450 lb) of downforce, and has a 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) acceleration time of 3.5 seconds.

[45][46] It has a kerb weight of 1,795 kg (3,957 lb),[47][48] and, at the time was stated to be last Aston Martin Vantage to use a V12 engine.

[54][55] The new model features an all-new front fascia with updated side and rear styling, updated interior with new proprietary infotainment with 10.25-inch screen similar to the DB12, stiffened body structure, smarter active dynamics, and a larger radiator grille which increases airflow to the radiators by 50 percent.

[56][57] The most noticeable change is a heavily reworked version of the 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine producing 665 PS (489 kW; 656 hp) and 590 lb⋅ft (800 N⋅m) of torque.

[60][61] The Vantage Roadster features a "Z-fold" configuration, which Aston Martin claims is faster to retract and lighter than the traditional "K-fold" layout.

[68] HWA AG, in partnership with Aston Martin and R-Motorsport, made an all-new car for the 2019 Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters, based on the new Vantage.

[73] The GT8R has a larger rear wing and new dive planes and splitter compared to the GT4, and power and weight adjusted for SP8T regulations.

[76] The new Vantage GT4 uses the same 4.0-litre Mercedes-AMG M177 V8 engine producing 476 PS (350 kW; 469 hp) and 471 lb⋅ft (639 N⋅m) of torque, although both outputs can be raised via boost controller depending on Balance-of-Performance regulations.
