The British manufacturer presented the new generation of the Aston Martin Vantage, which will no longer be powered by a V12 engine. The British company says this is the fastest and most driver-focused Vantage in the model’s 74-year history.

The new generation comes with many improvements compared to the previous model. The front cross member of the body has been redesigned and positioned differently with greater lateral strength between the rear suspension struts, adaptive dampers have been installed which the company says provide “an inherently sporty feel while leaving room for the introduction of progressive ‘tighter’ body control, and are paired with improved electronic There is also a larger front fascia, Matrix LED lights similar to those on the DB1 model, a wider rear bumper, larger tailpipes and a wide range of body colors.

Inside, the new dashboard contains a new infotainment system with a 10.25-inch screen, plenty of buttons and switches, a 390W sound system with 15 speakers, and a 1,170W Bowers & Wilkins sound system is available for an extra charge.

The Aston Martin Vantage also comes with an advanced vehicle dynamics control system, as well as an electronic rear differential and an improved ESP system. Under the hood is a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine with 665 hp (496 kW) and 590 lb-ft (800 Nm) of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels via an 8-speed ZF automatic transmission. It reaches 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.5 seconds with a top speed of 325 km/h (202 mph). It sits on a set of 21-inch forged wheels wrapped in 275/35 front and 325/30 rear Michelin Pilot Sport 5 S tires.

The car should go into production by the end of March, and the first deliveries are expected by the summer.
