In this thrilling episode from TheSmokingTire, we dive headfirst into the world of the all-new Aston Martin Vantage. With a staggering 656 horsepower under the hood, this British beast is ready to take on the best in the business. From its redesigned exterior featuring 21-inch wheels and bespoke Michelin ps5 tires to its upgraded cooling systems and stiffer chassis, the Vantage means serious business on both road and track.
As our host puts the Vantage through its paces, he uncovers both its strengths and weaknesses. While praising its stiffness and rear-end feedback, he doesn't hold back on criticizing the 8-speed transmission for its sluggish downshifts and lack of steering feel. Despite some understeer issues, the car shines in delivering power and utilizing carbon ceramic brakes effectively, making for a truly exhilarating driving experience.
The interior of the Vantage has also undergone a significant transformation, with improved fit and finish, user-friendly controls, and a more refined design. Gone are the days of clunky buttons and outdated displays; the new Vantage exudes sophistication and modernity. Despite its shortcomings, including transmission response and gear ratios, the Aston Martin Vantage emerges as a formidable contender in the high-performance sports car arena, blending the best of AMG and Aston Martin to deliver a driving experience like no other.
