Aston Martin Vantage S Review

If you don’t understand what I’m talking about, then stop reading now. For those of you who do, then trust me when I say the new Vantage S is more focused on tunnel-love than any Vantage built previously.

For a start, Aston Martin has increased the power, going from 420bhp for the standard 4.7-litre Vantage to 430bhp while torque has increased from 470Nm to 490Nm. While the changes may be slight, let’s put that in perspective: it has 10bhp and 60Nm more than Audi’s brilliant R8, and 45bhp and 70Nm more than Porsche’s iconic 911 Carrera S. But it’s not just the extra urge that impresses. The new exhaust system confidently alerts you to the fact there’s more going on than meets the eye.
