Aston Martin's Vantage S adds power and chassis changes to its front-engined sports-car range. Announced in July 2025, it made its dynamic debut at that year's Goodwood Festival of Speed, with the company targeting initial deliveries for the final quarter of 2025.
The official announcement quotes 680PS and 800Nm. It also describes changes to the chassis and throttle-pedal calibration, alongside bonnet blades, a rear lip spoiler and S-specific trim. Those details show that the update was intended to alter the driving character as well as the appearance.
What it means for buyers
For somebody comparing a Vantage with a Vantage S, the useful test is how that revised response feels at ordinary road speeds. A small gain in headline performance may matter less than steering precision, ride comfort or how easy the accelerator is to use smoothly. The car should be tried in the specification being considered.
The dates are worth keeping clear: this is background on the S model's introduction, not a newly announced 2026 launch. Current prices, availability and equipment need checking separately. The engineering changes make it a distinct model to investigate, but this article does not claim a drive or a back-to-back verdict against the regular Vantage.
