The new Aston Martin Vantage is said to be an ‘absolute hooligan’ of a supercar and is dropping in less than two weeks.
The luxury British manufacturer claims the coupé is “the fastest and most exhilarating” instalment of the iconic racing bloodline that spans 74-years.
The new two-seater sports car will hit the road on 12 February.
The release comes just months after the jet set-ready V8 super tourer Aston Martin DB12.
It’s also being introduced alongside the new Formula 1 challenger AMR24 and the new Vantage GT3 race car.
It’s one of the busiest years ever in terms of new releases for the brand.
Its starting price is expected to be significantly higher than the current Aston Martin Vantage.
Incidentally this supercar actually costs less than the Audemars Piguet ‘Spider-Man’ watch.
The Aston Martin Vantage has been restyled to reflect its status as a “complete hooligan”, in the words of chief creative officer Marek Reichman.
The new Vantage is going to be just as fast as the DB12 and just as comfortable as the DBX but, at the same time, something totally new and different.
The yet-to-be-unveiled new upgrade was seen testing at the Nürburgring recently.
The Aston Martin Vantage will use an uprated version of the 503bhp 4.0-litre V8 from the current-generation model.
The chassis is expected to take inspiration from the V12 Vantage – making it perfect for high speeds.
Per reports, the updated Vantage will feature a smaller grille and smoother lines around the front end.
Moving to the rear and the reworked splitter has a quad-exhaust set-up and more aggressive air ducting from the wheel arches.
According to Aston Martin, it’s “an authentic, unadulterated celebration of pure performance”.
“A sports car engineered for real drivers; for those that crave driving purity and revel at the limit.”
