In a highly anticipated move, luxury car manufacturer Aston Martin is gearing up to reveal its next-generation Vantage in February 2024. The company recently released a teaser image, offering a sneak peek into what auto enthusiasts can expect from the latest iteration of this iconic model.
Staying true to its rich heritage, Aston Martin has chosen to retain the name “Vantage” for its replacement, echoing the strategy employed when the outgoing Vantage replaced its predecessor. The preview image showcases distinct design elements, including fenders with deeper vents adorned by the iconic “Aston Martin” emblem. Notably, the clamshell hood featured in the current model is notably absent, adding an air of mystery to the upcoming release.
Spy shots of the new Vantage suggest a design evolution, aligning its headlights with the aesthetics of the DB12, a model unveiled in 2023. Additionally, a refreshed grille and reshaped taillights are expected to contribute to the model’s contemporary and sophisticated look. As with its predecessor, the new Vantage will be available in both coupe and convertible configurations, known as the Volante.
Auto enthusiasts are eagerly awaiting details about the mechanical specifications of the new Vantage. The current model is powered by a twin-turbocharged, 4.0-litre V8 engine developed by Mercedes-AMG, delivering an impressive 503hp to the rear wheels. Speculations suggest that the new Vantage might see an enhancement in power, though official details are yet to be revealed. It’s important to note that Aston Martin has shifted away from V12 engines, indicating that the new model will not feature a 12-cylinder variant.
The grand unveiling scheduled for February 12 promises a three-in-one treat for fans. In addition to the new Vantage, Aston Martin will showcase the GT3-specification version of the coupe and the AMR24 car, set to compete in the 2024 Formula One season. This move highlights Aston Martin’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of performance and innovation not only on the road but also on the global racing stage.
