New Aston Martin Vantage launched

Aston Martin's new generation Vantage was unveiled globally in Beijing. The new car is built on a new platform and uses a Mercedes-AMG-derived 4.0L twin-turbo engine with a maximum power of 510 hp and peak torque of 685 Nm, which can "break 100" in just 3.6 seconds.

New car features.

If you see the new Vantage for the first time, you must feel that its appearance is so familiar. The overall design is like a production version of the Aston Martin DB10 concept car, with a new large-mouth grille supplemented by carbon fiber material, making a stronger sense of hierarchy, and with oval LED headlight clusters, making the front end of the car gives an aggressive momentum. In addition to the grille, the new Vantage does not design other air intakes, making the new front hatch look extremely smooth.

As the entry-level product of the Aston Martin sports car series, the new Vantage is smaller in overall size compared to the DB11. From the sidelines, although the compact body is not as spacious as a large GT car such as the DB11, but the two-door coupe-type sports car should have the sporty style to the fullest.

The sliding line from the roof to the rear of the car has just the right amount of duck tail shape to meet the aerodynamic design, but also to highlight the new car's personality, the natural LED light belt tail light group gives people a stunning visual effect.

Compared with the smooth body, the exaggerated rear surround design of the new Vantage can highlight the performance orientation of the new car, a huge rear diffuser, with a bilateral two-exit exhaust layout, demonstrating the level of sport that the class should be. Thanks to the same all-aluminum body structure as the DB11, the net weight of the new Vantage is 1530 kg.

In terms of the interior, the new Vantage does not choose to use the popular touch control design, but rather the physical buttons are rearranged, complemented by leather and carbon fiber trim panels with yellow stitching, making the overall center console a very traditional driving atmosphere.

In contrast, the new car's instrument panel is designed with a full LCD, and there is also a separate LCD screen above the center console, making the new car have enough technology. As is traditional for Aston Martin, the seat adjustment buttons are still present on the panels on either side of the center console.

The new Vantage comes standard with a 360-degree bird's-eye view panoramic camera, a tire pressure monitoring system with front and rear parking sensors, and a parking distance display. For in-car entertainment, the 8-inch center console offers an in-car infotainment system that includes Aston Martin audio, Bluetooth audio and phone, iPod and iPhone, and USB device ports.

Powering the new Vantage will be a 4.0 L twin-turbo V8 engine with 510 hp and 685 Nm of peak torque. The transmission will be matched with 8-speed manual transmission. In addition, the new Vantage is also the first Aston Martin model to be equipped with E-Diff (electronic rear differential). In terms of performance parameters, the new Vantage will accelerate from 0-100km/h in 3.6 seconds and reach a top speed of 314km/h.

Competitors.

As an entry-level sports car product built by Aston Martin, the main competitors of the new Vantage are mainly Mercedes-AMG GT R, McLaren 570S, Porsche 911 GT 3, and other two-door two-seater sports car products, which are very focused on driving style and have a certain track orientation, which is similar to the positioning of the new generation Vantage.

Editor's Comment.

Less than a year after the official launch of the DB11, the entry-level product in the Aston Martin family has been replaced in parallel. The new Vantage feels closer to pure sportiness than other Aston Martin products. This attribute is not the most important point in the DB11 and Vanquish, but it is precisely this feature that makes the new Vantage different from other products, focusing on driving and pure sportiness, which will attract another part of consumers to become Aston Martin owners. Of course, we also believe that the debut of the new Vantage is only the beginning, the subsequent Aston Martin will also create a series of products for it, those who focus on pure driving, but also enjoy the unique tone brought by Aston Martin's potential owners, is not already impatient?
