The largest single leap in power in the 73-year legend of Vantage. Launched from a hand-built twin-turbo V8. Heavily reworked. 800Nm thrusted through your tyres and trouncing the tarmac. Road reeling with 665PS. A 30% upswell compared to its direct predecessor. The most significant surge in the 7-decade timeline of the Vantage name.

Rippling from the silence of a standstill. To 62mph, in 3.5s. Then ascending to a top speed breaching 200mph. Modified cam profiles, carefully rebalanced compression ratios and larger turbos send the engine’s full repertoire of thrill coursing through its veins. Without a scintilla of delay. Dissolving the difference between the sports car’s reaction time, and yours.

A hand-built launchpad of exhilaration, bolstered in all aluminium. 32 valves are varnished with cast, closed-deck blocks that multiply the strength of each cylinder, and eviscerate unnecessary weight. Crowned with Zirconium alloy heads, sparking it with the conductivity to reach 7,600RPM.

Engineered to exploit is own excesses. To keep its own fire fanned. Vantage is born to live at the limit. The increase in power is reined in by tripling the number of radiators. Combined with a 56% increase in thermal apertures, a larger air-gulping recontoured grille aperture and a front splitter, rewrought with a new volume of intelligence to mainline cooling through the car.

A V8 to eclipse its predecessors. Putting the visceral in full voice. Purring from every touch of your pedal, and conducted by just an index finger, the all-new centre console lets you select different drive modes and exhaust settings. Changing the character of the engine. For a full-bodied sensation of sound.
