2025 Aston Martin Vantage premiere

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.

2025 Aston Martin Vantage

In March 2022, Aston Martin presented the latest generation Vantage powered by a V12 engine. It was the fastest, most powerful and most dynamically capable V12 Vantage ever. However, in two weeks the British car manufacturer will premiere the new Vantage as well as its racing GT3 version and the Formula 1 AMR24 car.

The car was announced with a teaser showing the front of the left side. Not much can be seen in the teaser, but if we go by the spy photos, the new Vantage will have wider wheel arches than its predecessor, which should give the car a muscular look. Anyway, we will have more information on February 12, when the premiere is scheduled.

When it comes to the powertrain, the Vantage will no longer be powered by a V12 engine, instead it should be the 4.0-liter V8 that powers Mercedes-AMG cars (this is not official). Aston Martin has other options available, such as the twin-turbo V8 engine with 680 hp that powers the DB12 model, and rumors say that it could also be a new V8 engine with more than 600 hp. It will also have an automatic gearbox like its predecessor, while a manual gearbox could appear in the future, as Aston Martin has previously indicated that it will offer this option in limited numbers such as the Valour that debuted last summer.

Aston Martin DB6 as an EV

Between 1960 and 1971, Aston Martin produced 1,788 DB6 grand tourer cars. It succeeded the Aston Martin DB5 and featured improved aerodynamics and specifications over its predecessor. It is powered by a 4.0L DOHC in-line six engine with 282 hp (210 kW) and 295 lb-ft (400 Nm) of torque. Now British company Lunaz Design has turned one into an electric car. The price is £650,000.

This is not the first Aston Martin DB6 that Lunaz has transformed into an EV. At the beginning of the year, the British company did the restoration and electrification of a DB6 car for a businessman from Miami. That example is finished in dark gray and equipped with better brakes, improved suspension and steering system.

This DB6 has been completely disassembled, restored and reassembled to the highest standards. “This is a legacy so beautiful that we are required to preserve it. There is no more alluring evocation of the British GT and we are proud that electrification means it can compel many more generations,” said Jo Slater, Head of Design.

Inside, environmentally friendly materials are used such as veneer made from shells, leather is replaced with organic apple products, plastic is replaced with corn and wood fibers, floor mats are made from recycled plastic bottles, door panels are made from a mixture of renewable plant materials such as corn-based fibers and wood fibers, while the dashboard, shift lever and three-quarter glass handle are made of biodegradable composite material made from eggshells and nuts. Some fabric blends are made from 66 percent post-industrial recycled cotton and 27 percent polyester.

The car is powered by an electric motor with 375 hp (276 kW) and 518 lb-ft (702 Nm) of torque. Other specifications have not been revealed. It is equipped with 80 and 120 kWh batteries, which enables a range of between 290 and 402 kilometers.
