The Aston Martin Vantage, for most of the nameplate’s existence, has been a higher-performance grand tourer based on the brand’s more mainline V8 or DB series cars. The Vatange nameplate was briefly supplanted by the Vanquish from 2001 - 2007 before being re-introduced as a more lightweight and focused spin-off from the DB9 and DBS.
The line-up currently starts at $299,950 for the Vantage (base) and ranges through to $368,800 for the range-topping Vantage F1.

Interestingly, the success of the Aston Martin F1 team has made a big impact on the most popular colour of the vantage. Out is the James Bond silver, and in is the Fernando Alonso Podium Green.
In the cabin you'll find northing in the way of hand-me-down Mercedes switchgear, which makes for change. This is all Aston Martin, and it actually it all feels really nice.
The twin-screen setup looks tech-savvy and premium, the materials are all nicer than you'd expect in something more track-obsessed, and even the optional seats managed to be both snug-fitting and comfortable.
The 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 is still borrowed from Mercedes-AMG, but this is the new-generation unit, making 489kW and 800Nm. It gets modified cylinder heads and bigger turbos, helping generate the extra grunt. That’s fed through an eight-speed ZF automatic and channeled through to the rear tyres.

The Aston Martin Vantage will accelerate for 0-100km/h in 3.5 second, with its top speed 325km/h.
You get a whole bunch of improved performance, but also quite a bit in terms of cabin tech and comfort. This isn’t a stripped-back supercar, and that’s a good thing, I reckon.
It starts outside with 21-inch five-spoke forged wheels wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport rubber, matrix LED headlights and LED tail-lights, while in the cabin, there’s a 10.25-inch central screen with Apple CarPlay, a second 10.25-inch screen in front of the driver, an 11-speaker stereo, and wireless phone charging.

There's around 350 litres of luggage space in the 2024 Aston Martin Vantage.
This is a two-seat supercar, but they somehow manage to feel both snug and supportive – even with the optional racing seats fitted. It all adds up to the feeling that the Aston Martin Vantage is a very liveable supercar.
There’s the official figure, which is 12.1 L/100km on the combined cycle, and then there’s the real-world figure. It’s not really fare to judge fuel use when you’ve just stepped off a racetrack, but rest assured it was a large number, which is to be expected really.
The Aston’s 73-litre fuel tank prefers 98RON fuel, too.
