A new chapter in the legacy of pure, driver-focused performance has begun with the official launch of the latest Aston Martin Vantage in Malaysia, hosted by Aston Martin Kuala Lumpur. This iteration of the iconic sports car represents the epitome of speed, agility, and precision, marking a milestone as the fastest Vantage to emerge from Gaydon in its 74-year history. Crafted with a finely-tuned front-engine, rear-wheel drive chassis, the new Vantage promises an exhilarating driving experience like never before.
The Aston Martin Vantage lineage traces back to 1950 when the Vantage name was first introduced, signifying an uprated engine package for the renowned DB2. Since then, the Vantage has evolved into a symbol of high-performance excellence, culminating in its prominence as a flagship model within Aston Martin’s lineup. Now, with its Malaysian debut, the new Vantage arrives amidst a dynamic period in Aston Martin’s 111-year history, propelled by the brand’s success in motorsports, including Formula One® and GT racing.
Under the hood, the new Vantage boasts a heavily reworked, hand-built 4.0-litre Twin-Turbo V8 engine, delivering staggering performance figures of 665PS and 800Nm of torque. This power is harnessed by an 8-speed ZF automatic transmission, propelling the Vantage from 0 to 100km/h in just 3.4 seconds with a top speed of 325km/h. Enhanced acceleration is achieved through a new Launch Control system, ensuring optimal performance in any driving condition.
To accommodate the increased thermal load from the upgraded engine, the Vantage features a redesigned cooling system, including additional radiators and coolers for improved thermal capacity. The chassis benefits from Aston Martin’s latest generation bonded aluminium construction, enhancing overall dynamics and refinement. Further enhancements to the suspension system and adaptive dampers provide precise handling and control, allowing drivers to tailor their driving experience to their preferences.
The exterior design of the new Vantage exudes athleticism and sophistication, with a wider frame, redesigned grille, and integrated aerodynamic elements for improved downforce and stability. Inside, the cabin offers a luxurious yet functional space, adorned with premium materials and state-of-the-art technology, including a multi-screen infotainment system with online connectivity and optional Bowers & Wilkins audio system.
For those seeking personalization, Aston Martin’s bespoke service, Q by Aston Martin, offers endless customization options to create a truly unique sports car. The new Aston Martin Vantage is now available for booking in Malaysia, starting at RM2,370,000, with a comprehensive factory warranty and optional extended coverage for added peace of mind.
