Control

As a pure sports car the Aston Martin V8 Vantage S combines terrific agility and response with assured stability and an unrivalled sense of confidence. A natural and intuitive car to drive quickly thanks to its optimised front-engined, rear-wheel drive layout, the Vantage is the epitome of dynamism.

The V8 Vantage S comes with an all-new 7-speed Sportshift ’box fitted as standard. Featuring closer gear ratios, a shorter final drive and faster shift times for sharper response and even more vivid performance, the new transmission has been designed specifically for the more aggressive and focused character of this invigorating driver’s car.
