The new Aston Martin Vantage is simply fantastic.
Looks. Power. Interior. Driving dynamics. Extremely expensive options. It has all of it.
The AMG sourced 4.0L TT V8 is now up to 656 hp and 590 lb-ft of torque, an enormous 153 hp increase compared to the previous iteration, courtesy of larger turbos. 0-60 in 3.4s (RWD only). 202 mph top speed. 8-speed ZF auto w/ retuned calibration. Shortened final drive ratio.
It’s also stiffer than before, with fancy adaptive dampers, e-diff, 9 position TC and enormously wide 325/30R21 Michelin PSS5 tires out back. This thing is a ballistic rocket ship in a straight line, and incredibly fun to take turns, properly getting to supercar levels instead of being a luxury GT sports car like before.
I love the new styling, the front end reminds me of a baby One-77 and it’s so much wider, providing a 29% increase in mass airflow for cooling. This paint was a bit ridiculous at $13,600 but it certainly turned heads. Between the new Vantage, DB12 and Vanquish, I think this one is the prettiest to look at.
The interior also brings the new Aston in-house infotainment that was introduced in the DB12, which looks very nice but I experienced some minor software glitches that would resolve themselves. It is phenomenal that you still have physical buttons for all sorts of controls, and these amazing knurled metal rollers that are super satisfying to feel and use.
This specific press car was optioned to an alarmingly expensive $287k, with a base price of $191k. Carbon Pack Upper and Lower are $18k combined, Cosmopolitan Yellow paint is $13.6k, B&W sound system is $10k, CCBs are $14.4k.
A 992 Turbo S is faster 0-60, an Arturo is a little more exotic with the carbon tub and butterfly doors, a Bentley CGT is more luxurious, but I personally feel that the new Vantage checks so many boxes that its the one I would want to own. But since I am a couple tax brackets too low to be shopping for one of these new, I will wait a couple years and see where prices settle lol.
What do you think of the refreshed Vantage?

For the 1st time i truly understand why people always say aston make the most beautiful cars
Agree it's the best looking aston martin in the line up.
That’s a great looking ride. Few cars can make one feel special these days, that Aston delivers.
This is one of the best cars of all time. Nearly no Lamborghini, McLaren or Ferrari could keep up with it. Even a Porsche or the new Vanquish stand no chance. I am from germany
Startup screen animation lags worse than 30k car. Should’ve kept analog gauge. One thing old astons did well.
If that’s your thing, go drive a Tesla.
yea i noticed the delay on the screen, they really should have either stayed analogue or gotten a higher refresh rate screen but other than that amazing car
@@paulm6481 you should truly work on your reading comprehension skills lol, but im sure you won’t understand why im saying this either :)
Can fully agree. Though the “all screen” layout looks cleaner, I was a huge fan of the buttons on the pre-facelift. It gave the interior a lot more character
@@paulm6481never knew Tesla has analog gauge
I enjoy your review and no nonsense approach😉
Thank you!
I love the color and the infotainment Center is massive
Good video. That car is gorgeous inside and out.
Porsche and Aston had super cool designed analog cluster but new is just another generic screen
Other than that it is a beautiful car
Noticed the dash is a bit laggy throughout the video. I guess you aren’t really paying for the tech, but hope it’s something Aston continues to improve on
They've been trying to sort it out for a year and a half now. It delayed DB12 deliveries and directly affected their share price. But there still appears to be no solution in the near future
This is literally the easiest fix and they still can’t figure it out lol. Laggy infotainment in 2025 is inexcusable 😂
10:05 If they do that no car can ever keep up with it
Cut the cheese in the car just before returning it and leave the dealership with a naughty little gift; a tinge of your essence as a thank you and farewell. You lil stinker! 🤭
Get beat up much?
What 😂
Great review. Would you go for the Z06 or this? This is a beauty but not as sharp and no removable roof. More than 100k extra more car than Z06 is a tough sell for me. Have been debating the two personally, good problem lol
I’ll def be buying once these drop below 150 in a year or two, absolutely gorgeous car tho
Beautiful looking and sounding Beast 😎👍
Nice car and review! You got to hit Hwy1 before the fires. What highway did you hit with the tunnels? Nice drive!
that's Kanan Rd headed down the mountain to Malibu
Does it automatically contact your insurance company when you drive aggressively or speed like the Honda does.
Love this !
Great vid. Aston should always offer a third pedal option for the Vantage.
Are you allowed to drive with phone or photography equipment in your hand? That seems wild if it's legal
this is my dream car rn
My dreamcar
Aston Martin's don't currently offer front axle lift
When will you review the 2025 M5 things a beast.
Money being no object, this Aston or your Z06?
Beautiful yellow green car ❤❤❤
Chartreuse.
It’s actually a $124k Aston Martin since you drove it off the lot already.
Beautiful car
“For a car anyone can buy, this is scary”??
What is he on about lol
Rather have a 296
6 days later, PCH is in ruins...
280? What the hell. Maybe 130
this just makes me depressed. When we got our DBX, it had nothing but issues and was near impossible to insure, but I'll be damned if Aston doesn't make some of the sexiest most luxurious feeling vehicles on the road.
You prob bought a lemon. Aston’s are pretty reliable and easy to insure.
It was tough to insure? Why was that
$300k for this, please no... or that price is for that specific car and specs
Specific car as optioned. It’s loaded.
300k? The depreciation is gonna be diabolical 💀
Literally gonna lose 40k per year 😆
Since you're poor it will never be your problem.
More like 50-60k
Yes Eddie WELCOME to Los Angeles
Always fun making trips to SoCal!
wow. started right up. no key fob missing issue. impressive
It did happen once off camera. Had to put it in the little sensor spot. But every other time was fine!
id get get Porsche GT3 or GT4RS or Mercedes 805 hp V8 GT SE actually id get alot of cars before than this
Finally the interior that is worthy of Adton Martin and the price point. And the re-design is fantastic as well.
Agree and agree
It's a another mercedes amg, dont buy a car using an engine and gearbox from others company 😂😂😂😂
You realize many manufactures share powertrains or source them from other suppliers right?
Lambo uses Audi motors
Pagani uses Mercedes motors
Lotus uses Toyota motors
Supra uses BMW motors
Ariel Atom uses Ford motors
Maserati uses Ferrari motors
Bentley uses Volkswagen motors
Happy new year and merry Christmas finally a video a not electric
🙌
Nice looking mustard metallic color on the AM. Nothing like having a luxury supercar.
I was excited for the new Vantage, until the 380K CAD price tag attached to them where I live 🤣 I'm on the fence whether to wait for some depreciation, or pick up a C8 Z06 and a Dodge Viper convertible. Seeing your Z06 is tempting me lol.
lol the first problem. What are you doing in Canada 😂
Trust me I ask myself this a lot recently hahah
Ouch. Thats a lot of maple bucks. Personally, can’t give the Z06 a higher endorsement than owning one haha
will be worth 60k in 1.5 years lol
what a clown car
If you were in the market for it you probably wouldn't care. Great car nonetheless
If that’s true I’ll buy 2. You have utterly no understanding of how depreciation works lol.
I hope you drive the new Vanquish
Me too!
This or a turbo would be a nice difficult decision to have
Definitely difficult but if you don’t need AWD I’m going for the new Vantage (after a little depreciation)
Nothing is competing with McLaren as far as Aston is concerned. They can try
Uh. Have you seen what Aston has been building recently?
@ I mean steering and speed. Aston looks way better
Supposed to have BMW Engines? Or Get them....
You may be thinking of Land Rover? I haven’t heard anything about Aston going to BMW
European Car Magazine
Mercedes engines, not BMW. No news of Aston switching to BMW engines
And before you judge someone on their car you don't even own the Aston Martin so run off at your day job and not getting paid for it it's kind of dumb
What lol
Bro he was making a joke with his friend, it’s not that serious
