About

The 2018 Aston Martin Vantage is a sleek and powerful sports car designed to make a statement. Its exterior is characterized by a predator-like stance, with slim headlights and a massive grille that gives it a focused and aggressive look. The rear design is particularly striking, with minimal bodywork behind the rear wheels and a diffuser that resembles an endurance racer. Inside, the cabin is intimate and well-crafted, featuring longer and easier-to-use paddles, a lovely steering wheel, and ergonomic switchgear. The car is powered by a Mercedes-AMG-sourced twin-turbo 4-litre V8 engine, which delivers 503 horsepower and 685 Nm of torque, sent to the rear wheels via an 8-speed automatic transmission and an electronic differential. This setup allows for quick and smooth gear shifts, making the Vantage both a comfortable cruiser and a potent performer on the track or twisty roads.

Our take on this /// Verdict

The 2018 Aston Martin Vantage is a significant leap forward from its predecessor, offering a blend of raw power and refined driving dynamics. The cars Mercedes-AMG-sourced twin-turbo 4-litre V8 engine delivers an exhilarating driving experience, with a 0-100kph sprint in just 3.6 seconds. The steering is weighty and quick, making it a joy to handle, especially in tight corners where the car changes direction with the agility of a shark. However, the ride can feel firm, particularly on less-than-perfect road surfaces, though it still maintains a level of compliance that avoids being unduly harsh. The interior is a highlight, with a charming and well-crafted cabin that feels intimate and connected to the driver. Overall, the Vantage is a car that thrives on its performance and handling, making it a compelling choice for those seeking a thrilling drive.

Price

The 2018 Aston Martin Vantage in India was priced around 2.95 crore ex-showroom. When you factor in the various taxes and registration costs, the on-road price would have been closer to 3.5 crore to 4 crore, depending on the state and local taxes. This pricing places the Vantage firmly in the luxury sports car segment, competing with other high-performance vehicles. While the cost is undoubtedly steep, the Vantage offers a unique blend of performance, design, and exclusivity that justifies its premium pricing for those who value such attributes.
