Aston Martin lifted the curtain for the 2025 Vantage at the beginning of the week. The model was presented as a coupe with a new face, a few tweaks out back, a revamped interior, a retuned chassis, and more power from its AMG-sourced engine.
In the looks department, it has a bigger mouth due to the enlarged grille, which is flanked by larger headlamps. The back end is similar to that of the pre-facelifted iteration, and the car sits on the 9.5x21-inch front and 11.5x21-inch rear wheels, wrapped in 275/35 and 325/20 tires, respectively.
The cabin has a reshaped center console that is home to a new 10.25-inch infotainment. Stuff such as the ventilated front seats, heated steering wheel, premium audio, semi-aniline leather, colored Alcantara headliner, and others are available as options that the British automaker has yet to put a price tag on, as the model is not on sale yet, with deliveries kicking off in the second quarter of 2024.
Matched with an eight-speed automatic transmission, the 4.0-liter bi-turbo V8 was upgraded and is now good for 656 horsepower (665 ps/489 kW) and 590 pound-foot (800 Nm) of torque. This represents a 153 hp (155 ps/114 kW) increase over its predecessor and 85 lb-ft (115 Nm) when it comes to the thrust. The updated Vantage needs 3.4 seconds to 60 mph (97 kph) and tops out at 202 mph (325 kph).

Now, the 2025 Aston Martin Vantage may have only debuted as a coupe, but the manufacturer is currently readying the open-top version, too. The upcoming Roadster is probably a few months away from debuting, and when it does, it will feature the same front and rear ends, cockpit design, chassis tweaks, and extra oomph as its fixed-roof sibling.
The model will have a folding ragtop with a dedicated space for it behind the seats, and since it will be a bit heavier, it should be one or two-tenths slower to sixty than the coupe. Imagining it is not hard at all, considering that we've seen several scoops of it and we have the official images of the hardtop to work with, and these were used as inspiration by spdesignsest on Instagram to come up with a couple of realistic renderings.
The digital model stays true to the spy shots and comes with the same exterior design as the coupe. The only difference is the chopped roof over the cockpit, which makes it look ready for summer in the northern hemisphere. That is likely when it will premiere, or so we think anyway, and Aston Martin should open the order books shortly after the grand unveiling. Do you like the 2025 Vantage better as a Coupe or a Roadster?
