The new, 2018 Aston Martin Vantage.
Finally, the partnership between Aston Martin and Mercedes has fruited into something beautiful. The new 2018 Vantage is the perfect combination of gorgeous, timeless Aston Martin styling coupled with Mercedes electronics and their V8 engine. The perfect combination; British styling with German reliability. The Vantage takes the modern elements that the DB11 pioneered and partners them with more aggressive and sports car styling.
The engine produces a seemingly mediocre 503BHP, but when you consider the car is still technically a sports car, those figures suddenly appear more than adequate to tackle its rivals. The new Vantage maxes out at an impressive 195mph and puts out a 0-62 time of 3.6 seconds.
The most dramatic element of the car is arguably the rear light design. The continual break line, which flows with the boot lid, allows for both a sporty and elegant design. It also highlights the brands future plans to become more “individual and confident”- words of the man who designed the car.
Overall, I think this new addition to the Aston Martin range is a blessing and a welcomed revamp of the much loved previous generation Vantage. I feel they’ve managed to pull off the beautiful design while paving the way forward and laying out a base plate for future Aston’s. Exciting times lay ahead.
