Smaller production rate car marques are often owned by or have a larger partner company to help with research & development to enable them to keep pace with competition. Aston Martin have made the shrewd move to do exactly that and what better a partner to pick than the tech-focused German behemoth Mercedes!
Due to this the Vantage features a host of tech under the skin from Mercedes including the same bulletproof 4.0 Twin-Turbo V8 found in the AMG GT series and C63 cars, producing ample levels of power and torque. The infotainment system and many of the electronic systems have also been codeveloped and pinched from the Germans, making for a more reliable and contemporary package. Aston martin have been left in charge of all the bits that we loved such as the elegant yet aggressive body styling, raucous exhaust system and beautifully appointed leather cabin. All this means that the Vantage now offers the best of both worlds, German efficiency and reliability partnered with exquisite British design, heritage and soul.

WHAT THE JOURNALISTS SAY
- It can perform at close to supercar pace and now has fully formed track handling credentials, but it is also more characterful and fun at everyday speeds than plenty of its opponents.
- The ride exhibits a welcome comfort even on pockmarked roads, while the slick eight-speed box shuffles through its ratios pretty seamlessly.
- It sounds a little subdued in Sport, but switch to Sport+ or Race and the V8’s sonic potential is uncorked. The changes to induction and exhaust deliver a richer, more cultured soundtrack than the bombastic NASCAR bellow you get with this engine in a Mercedes.
