The all-new Aston Martin Vantage was officially launched about a month ago, and the exterior changes are not huge, but with a new interior and power, it is still a strong challenger to the Porsche 911 Turbo.
In terms of appearance, the front part of the new car of course continues the iconic catfish mouth grille, the interior is filled with a black horizontal strip grille, and the concave and convex front hood has a special bulge and air intake decoration, which looks quite sporty. On the left and right sides are teardrop-shaped headlight clusters, with multi-level daytime running lights and blackened high and low beams inside, showing a good sense of fashion, an obvious wide-body effect, an exaggerated black front lip, fog lamp area air intakes and other elements will not be absent.
The iconic Aston Martin sports car lines on the side of the body have a smooth roof transition, a pronounced rear waistline that protrudes from the bulge, large black wheels, the iconic A-pillar underneath the air intake trim, and a tucked waistline. At the rear, the signature high-profile curved taillights are inlaid on the upturned ducktail, the tail box line is concave and convex, and the rear bumper part is exaggerated with bilateral quad exhaust and diffuser, carbon fiber trim and other elements, so that the style of the vehicle forms a unity.
In the interior part, the new car has changed the most compared with the previous generation, adopting a new design concept, embedded large-size LCD screen with LCD dial to form a dual-screen system, a comprehensive update of the car machine, and finally added touch control, the sense of science and technology has been significantly enhanced. The front area of the armrest box has become a delicate paddle shifter, which still retains a large number of physical buttons, highlighting the sense of luxury and improving the attributes of physical control, and the seat adjustment is still located on both sides of the front of the armrest box, showing the brand's heritage. The steering wheel has a flat-bottomed construction and the huge paddle shifters stimulate the driver's motor nerves.
In terms of power, it is another major point, of course, the new car still uses the 4.0T V8 twin-turbo engine from Mercedes-Benz AMG, but after further tuning by engineers, the maximum power has reached 665 horsepower, the maximum torque is 800 Nm, and with the blessing of the 8AT gearbox, it only takes 3.5 seconds to accelerate to 100 kilometers, which is good enough for a rear-wheel drive model, and the acceleration performance is definitely no match for the 911 Turbo or Turbo The advantages of the PDK gearbox and dead weight of the S four-wheel drive system are still quite obvious, but they provide different experiences and solutions, and it is worth looking forward to what kind of performance it can have in the future.
