Driving a 2025 Aston Martin Vantage on track.
-
A longer hood runs down toward a grille opening that’s 38 percent larger to improve cooling compared to the previous iteration.
-
The redesigned interior is a step change over that of the outgoing car.
-
As in the DB12, a new center console hosts physical controls for numerous functions, including gear selection as well as the ignition’s start button, which is surrounded by the rotary drive-mode selector.
-
Track mode allows drivers to switch off stability control and chose from nine different levels of traction control.
-
Selecting Sport+ mode stiffens the Vantage’s suspension and sharpens responses.
-
On track, we could feel the abundant feedback from the chassis and find the optimal balance through slow and fast corners with brake and throttle.
-
The suspension upgrades have helped reduce understeer by 12 percent while improving ride and body control.
-
The Vantage’s exterior presents an aesthetic of coiled muscle and menace; a hungry beast ready to pounce.
-
Aston Martin claims the 2025 Vantage can sprint from zero to 60 mph in 3.4 seconds and hit a top speed of 202 mph.
-
The new 10.25-inch digital instrument panel is housed in a dramatically styled binnacle.
-
The 2025 Vantage boasts 30 percent more power and 15 percent more torque than the outgoing model.
-
The new Vantage will be priced starting at $191,000 when it arrives stateside later this year.
