New Aston Martin Vantage review!

Aston Martin Vantage Review: The most exciting sports car on sale? The Aston Martin Vantage used to be the "small" Aston. Now, it’s a 665hp monster designed to take down the Porsche 911 Turbo S. In 2026, with the new Vantage S and Roadster joining the family, we’re finding out if this heavily revised 4.0L twin-turbo V8 is the ultimate driver's car. It’s got 150hp more than the old car—but can it actually put that power down through just the rear wheels? We’re diving into the all-new British-built infotainment system, testing the track-focused Matrix LED headlights, and seeing if the cabin quality finally justifies the £165,000 price tag. From the 202mph top speed to the "ducktail" spoiler and that glorious V8 roar, this is the definitive deep dive. Is it Britain's best ever sports car? Let’s find out!
