The 2024 Vantage facelift is far more than a cosmetic update. Aston Martin reworks output, chassis calibration, the cabin and the onboard interface to move the car much closer to a true compact super-GT. With well over `650 hp`, the Vantage changes dimension and takes a much more direct position against a very fast Porsche 911.
The car benefits from a heavily revised V8, recalibrated dampers and a cabin that finally feels up to the price in ergonomics. The result promises a quicker and more coherent Aston, but also one that depends even more on electronics, sensors and calibration quality. On a car this recent, software stability and active-system behaviour matter almost as much as the hardware itself.
