Aston Martin recently unveiled the latest and upcoming iteration of their Vantage sports car, the 2024 Aston Martin Vantage. Aston Martin calls the Vantage the definitive front-engine, rear-wheel drive sports car and the most driver-focused model in their range. The revered British automaker takes this promise up a notch by bestowing the latest and greatest 2024 Vantage with considerably more power. Long gone is the menacing V12 motor, while the 4.0-liter twin-turbo engine has been completely overhauled to crank out more vigor. The 2024 Aston Martin Vantage churns out a power output of 656 horses, which is a solid increase of 128 horsepower over the outgoing Vantage. The upgrades aren’t limited to power figures and underpinnings, as the new Vantage also gets a more muscular yet innately elegant design, along with more features inside out. Exotic Car Trader has composed this detailed, all-inclusive guide on the upcoming 2024 Aston Martin Vantage, comprising everything you need to know about the emblematic British sports car.
The Vantage nameplate holds a monumental legacy of 74 years. It was first introduced as a flagship model designation of the Aston Martin DB2 in 1950. Later on, in the early 1970s, the Vantage was christened as an independent model. Since then, the Vantage moniker has been an integral part of the Aston Martin range. The first generation Aston Martin Vantage, introduced in 1972 was a straight-6-powered coupe. Entering its second generation in 1977, the Vantage jettisoned the 6-cylinder motor for a pair of V8 engines. For its third generation, the Vantage was replaced by the Aston Martin Virage which was later on succeeded by the Aston Martin Vanquish in 2001. The Vantage finally returned in 2005, as an all-new entry-level sports car, which can be considered the first modern car to bear the nameplate. Furthermore, it was the first Vantage to be offered with a V12 engine. After a 12-year-long production run of this model, the Vantage was completely redesigned for the 2019 model year. The 2019 Aston Martin Vantage was a stunning beaut, offered in both coupe and convertible variants. There were two engines offered, a Mercedes-AMG-sourced twin-turbo V8 and a twin-turbocharged V12. The 2019 Vantage was produced until 2023 which is now being superseded by the updated 2024 Vantage.
The 2019-23 Aston Martin Vantage was offered with a choice of two powertrains. The base motor is a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 that generated 503 horses and 505 lb-ft of torque. However, in the more ferocious Vantage F1 Edition, the same motor produced a higher output of 527 horsepower. Offered exclusively with the 2023 Aston Martin Vantage was an optional 5.2-liter twin-turbo V12 that boasted a maximum output of 690 horsepower and 555 lb-ft of torque. The 2024 Vantage, unlike its immediate progenitor doesn’t get a V12 powertrain. The new Vantage is propelled by a heavily re-engineered version of the AMG-V8 with larger turbos, modified cam profiles, and optimized compression ratios. All that reworking has resulted in the 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 producing 30% more power and 15% extra torque over the 2023 V8 Vantage. The 2024 Aston Martin Vantage has a rated output of 656 horsepower and 590 lb-ft of torque. This output is an increase of 153 horses over the base 2023 Vantage and 129 horses over the F1 Edition. The 2024 Vantage is mated to an 8-speed ZF automatic transmission as standard. The new Vantage also gets a shortened final drive ratio, calibrated to deliver more vigorous in-gear acceleration. Aston Martin claims that this powertrain setup would be able to slingshot the 2024 Vantage to 60 mph in just 3.4 seconds. Top speed is limited to 202 MPH, while the curb weight of the upcoming Vantage hasn’t been revealed yet.
Aston Martin has put immense devotion into making the 2024 Vantage a spectacular driver’s car. For starters, the car benefits from a perfect 50:50 weight distribution, boosting agility and allowing the driver to make quick turns with ease. The car also gets a 7-percent stiffer chassis, which aids in increasing cornering torque and allows the suspension to perform superiorly. As for the suspension setup, the 2024 Vantage runs on Bilstein DTX intelligent adaptive dampers assisted by Aston Martin’s state-of-the-art Active Vehicle Dynamics control system. The new adaptive dampers feature a 500% increase in bandwidth of force distribution over the previous generation, delivering an enhanced range of control and speed of response. Braking duties are managed by a standard set of cast-iron discs, which can be upgraded to a carbon ceramic setup. This option provides exalted braking performance while also shaving off almost 60 lbs from the car’s weight.
The 2024 Aston Martin Vantage’s interior has been given a modern flare without compromising its inherent elegance and charm. The rounded-off steering wheel of the old Vantage has now been replaced with a new flat-bottom unit. The upcoming car also gets an entirely new center console with a more systematic control layout comprising tactile buttons coupled with an updated touchscreen. The cabin and standard sports seats of the 2024 Vantage are enshrouded in hand-stitched, supreme-quality leather sourced from the “Bridge of Weir” leather company. Everything looks supple, neat, and expensive, as expected from a car of the Vantage’s price range and reputation.
Even though the outgoing 2023 Aston Martin Vantage is a debonair sports car, the 2024 Vantage amps up the appeal to a whole new level. Aston Martin has tweaked the exterior of the 2024 Vantage into an eminently more muscular design, while retaining its grandeur. The body is now 30 mm wider, adding to the car’s more brawny stance. The design changes not only augment the aesthetics of the 2024 Vantage but also contribute to the car’s performance. The fully redesigned front end now has a 38% larger grille opening, which according to Aston Martin provides a 29% increase in airflow, thus contributing to improved engine-cooling. The headlights have also been upgraded to a new “Matrix LED” headlamp design. On the other hand, the rear end of the 2024 Aston Martin Vantage is quite comparable to the outgoing model with no major changes. As standard, the new Vantage gets 21-inch five-spoke forged alloy wheels wrapped around with ‘AML’ coded Michelin Pilot Sport S 5 tires made specifically for the car. Available options include multi-spoke and y-spoke wheels in a wide range of shades and finishes.
Following the footsteps of the recently updated Aston Martin DB12, the 2024 Vantage is the second car to feature the brand’s latest infotainment system. The central infotainment touchscreen is a 10.25-inch unit accompanied by an array of tactile buttons. The standard audio setup consists of a 390-watt 11-speaker surround sound system. To deliver an even more engrossing auditory experience, Aston Martin partnered up with Bowers & Wilkins to develop an exclusive, optional high-end audio system. Acoustically tailored to complement the 2024 Vantage’s interior dimensions and shape, this 1,170-watt, 15-speaker, double-amplified surround sound system is claimed to deliver exceptional audio quality. Another major addition is the availability of a customer connectivity app that supports both iOS and Android devices.
The 2023 Aston Martin Vantage had a base MSRP of $151,286 while the more hardcore F1 Edition started at a higher $178,286. The range-topping V12 model bore an eye-watering starting price of $301,286. According to Car And Driver, the 2024 Aston Martin Vantage is estimated to be priced at around $190,000 for the base coupe. The new base Vantage is expected to be priced above the outgoing F1 Edition, as it is considerably more powerful. Aston Martin has officially confirmed that production of the new Vantage is due to commence in the first quarter of 2024 while initial deliveries are scheduled to begin during the second quarter.
The 2024 Aston Martin Vantage, although not an entirely new machine, is quite sure to outshine its predecessor in terms of both power figures and performance. The AMG-sourced twin-turbo V8 motor of the Vantage is now capable of summoning 656 feral horses, making it the fastest V8-powered Vantage ever. The exterior has been tweaked to make the Vantage look visibly more burly and enhance the car’s aerodynamics, while retaining its intrinsically voluptuous aesthetics. The interior has also gained a plethora of upgrades, including a redesigned center console and a next-gen infotainment unit. Production of the 2024 Aston Martin Vantage will start in Q1 2024 and initial deliveries will start by the second quarter.
