This is a car for those who appreciate balance, proportion, and elegance as much as outright speed. After spending time behind the wheel, it is clear that the latest Vantage has grown into itself. More powerful, sharper, and more resolved than ever.

A Mature Dose of Power

Let’s start with the numbers. Under the bonnet is a reworked 4.0-litre V8 twin-turbocharged engine producing 656 bhp (489 kW) and 800 Nm of torque. That is more than a 30 percent increase in power over the previous model, and it certainly feels it. Aston claims a 0 to 100 km/h time of 3.5 seconds, and a top speed of 325 km/h.

More importantly, though, the way the car delivers this performance feels deeply satisfying. There is a genuine agility to how it moves. The Vantage now responds with greater precision, and yet it never feels nervous. It is powerful, yes, but also composed and sharp to handle. A car that invites you to go faster, but doesn’t punish you if you don’t.

The chassis upgrades play a big role here. There is a stiffer underbody, revised geometry, and Bilstein DTX adaptive dampers. A 50:50 weight distribution and rear-wheel drive layout give the car a well-balanced, old-school feel, backed by modern dynamics and suspension sophistication. It feels like a car that was built by people who really cared about the driving experience.

Looks That Make You Look Twice, Maybe Thrice

Let’s not kid ourselves. The Vantage is a stunning piece of design. Always has been. I’m happy they did not change the most beautiful part of the car — the rear. The ‘S’ wave tail lamps are unique and simply stunning, especially when paired with the wide, muscular rear haunches. It is the kind of view that makes you glance back as you walk away.

Overall, the car has been widened by 30 mm, and now looks lower, more planted, and more assertive. The grille has been enlarged, the splitter reshaped, and the stance looks like it means business. It still has all the right proportions, and it looks really, really good.

Now, let’s be fair. The Porsche 911 is a very attractive car. It is an icon for a reason. But if we are being objective here, the Vantage comes out ahead. It is more exotic, more dramatic, and visually more distinctive. Where the 911 blends in, the Aston stands out. There is a certain presence to it that is hard to match.

In many ways, this is a car for the mature and discerning sports car owner. Someone who has done the usual German rounds and now wants something different. Something that feels a bit more special.

Cabin Comfort and Control

Inside, Aston Martin has taken a big step forward. The new Vantage gets a completely revised interior, including a 10.25-inch touchscreen that finally brings the infotainment experience into the modern era. Thankfully, physical buttons remain for drive modes, climate control, and exhaust settings. A welcome decision.

Materials are rich, the fit and finish feel more premium than before, and the seats are properly supportive. It feels snug but not cramped, and strikes a nice balance between sporty and refined.

There is also a new digital cluster and a more intuitive control layout. It is cleaner, more cohesive, and most importantly, built around the driver.

Practical Details

For those who care about the numbers beyond speed and power, the Vantage is still very usable. It has a 73-litre fuel tank, 346 litres of boot space, and a kerb weight of 1,745 kg. Fuel consumption is rated at 8.3 km/L, and CO₂ emissions are listed at 274 g/km (manufacturer specs). It sits low at 1,275 mm tall, with a turning radius of 6 metres, and measures 4,495 mm long by 1,980 mm wide.

The suspension consists of double wishbones in front, and a multi-link setup at the rear, with ventilated disc brakes all round. Wheels are a set of lovely 21-inch alloys, and unlike a 911, the car strictly seats two.

So, Who Is It Really For?

If you are looking for a shouty, over-styled machine to win stoplight races or turn TikTok heads, the Vantage probably is not it. But if you want something that drives beautifully, looks sensational, and feels genuinely different from the usual suspects, it is hard to beat.

The sales numbers for supercars in Singapore are not looking good. With high luxury taxes and a stagnant economy, the rich are more careful with their choices. So the already tough market for Aston is now worse. At a starting price of S$1 million+ before options and COE, the Vantage is clearly not an impulse buy. But it is also not trying to be. This is a car for those who have done their homework. For those who care about how a car makes them feel, not just what it says on paper.

Final Word

The 2025 Vantage does not try to reinvent the sports car. It simply perfects its own formula. It is more powerful, more precise, and still one of the best-looking cars money can buy.

For those who want a proper driver’s car with soul, presence, and a touch of British charm, this feels like a very compelling choice. Quietly confident, genuinely special, and built for people who know what they are looking for.

As the automotive landscape evolves, so do the demands placed on modern Grand Tourers. Once celebrated for their effortless cruising charm along sun-drenched coastlines, they’re now expected to deliver razor-sharp performance with the same grace.

Few embody that balance like Aston Martin, a brand synonymous with timeless elegance and refined power. Now, with the arrival of the DB12, proudly declared as “the world’s first Super Tourer,” Aston Martin promises a new era.

A familiar face with a fresh heart

At first glance, you might be tempted to think the DB12 is merely a refreshed DB11 or DBS. Aston Martin’s iconic design language – elegant curves, muscular haunches, and that unmistakable grille – remains largely untouched. But beneath this suave exterior lies substantial innovation, even if the chassis fundamentals remain similar.

The big news is Aston’s legendary V12 has finally bowed out, a victim of tightening emissions regulations. In its place sits a heavily revised Mercedes-sourced twin-turbo V8. No hybrid assist here, just old-school engineering finesse.

Tweaks to camshafts, compression ratios, and bigger turbos mean the 4.0-litre unit now belts out a thunderous 671bhp and 800Nm of torque. That’s enough grunt to hit 100km/h in just 3.6 seconds, eventually charging onward to a top speed north of 320km/h. Numbers worthy of any modern supercar, but delivered with traditional Aston elegance.

Behind the wheel, the DB12 immediately impresses, not simply with outright speed but with how effortlessly it wields its considerable power. The chassis feels deeply connected with the engine, working harmoniously to deliver an experience that’s neither intimidating nor detached.

Lean into a tight bend, and the car settles beautifully, compressing gently at the rear, ready to push forward without hesitation or drama. It’s wonderfully balanced and poised.

Admittedly, the steering might not communicate every subtle ripple of asphalt beneath your tyres, but that hardly matters. It’s direct, precise, and quicker than the DB11, making you feel intuitively connected to the road. As you carve through twisty sections of tarmac, it becomes clear that Aston’s intent was never outright aggression but supreme confidence.

In a market segment dominated by competitors like the Ferrari Roma and Bentley Continental GT, the DB12 might not scream thrills as loudly, but it whispers class with every corner taken.

Supercar pace, GT sophistication

The revised V8 is powerful but never uncouth, delivering waves of refined, effortless acceleration rather than the aggressive snap you’d find in some AMG-powered cousins. There’s a rich, throaty growl when you push harder, yet it remains dignified and well-mannered.

I did not have the chance to wring the car to its limits, but like a distinguished gentleman in a tailored suit, the DB12 feels rapid yet composed.

Crucially, navigating through the city’s bustling streets is surprisingly stress-free. Its ride remains impressively compliant, soaking up the uneven patches without fuss. Even negotiating carparks feels manageable, despite that lengthy bonnet making tight junctions occasionally tricky. 

Visibility, thankfully, has improved markedly over its predecessor, so threading through traffic jams isn’t the white-knuckle experience you might fear.

Master of the long haul

Grand tourers should excel at effortlessly eating up long journeys, and here the DB12 genuinely shines. Previous DB models sometimes struggled with intrusive road noise, but the DB12 benefits significantly from Michelin’s latest foam-lined tyres, dramatically reducing tyre roar even at expressway speeds.

Fuel efficiency might not rank high on an Aston buyer’s list, but for those curious, Aston claims around 9km/litre.

As much as Aston’s new Bowers & Wilkins audio system (optional, but highly recommended) impresses with crystal-clear acoustics, it faces stiff competition from the car’s glorious V8 soundtrack.

Select Sport mode, prod the throttle, and the rich, baritone growl fills the cabin. It’s a sophisticated symphony rather than a crude cacophony, just as you’d expect from an Aston Martin.

Elegance on full display

Step inside, and you’ll find yourself cocooned in a vastly upgraded interior. Aston has taken a page out of Porsche’s playbook, blending high-tech interfaces with tactile, beautifully crafted controls.

Gone is the clutter and confusion; in its place sits a sleek, horizontally oriented touchscreen (Aston’s first) that responds crisply and intuitively.

Materials feel sumptuous, from the fine-grained leather that wraps every panel to the beautifully knurled metal dials for climate control.

Ergonomics have dramatically improved, too. Settling into the driver’s seat feels natural, the seating position low, sporty yet accommodating, perfect for long-distance cruises or spirited drives.

It’s a tangible step forward from the DB11, marrying luxury with modern convenience in ways Aston has rarely achieved before.

However, rear seats remain purely decorative, ideal only for your youngest offspring or perhaps designer luggage. But then, who buys a DB12 expecting family car practicality?

The boot’s 262-litre capacity is equally modest, though sufficient for weekend escapes, as long as you pack light.

Graceful evolution

Is the DB12 truly revolutionary? Perhaps not.

But what Aston Martin has achieved here is something arguably more meaningful: an evolution so complete, so carefully honed, that it resets expectations. It beautifully bridges the gap between a pure GT cruiser like the Bentley Continental GT and sportier contenders like the Ferrari Roma.

The DB12 emerges not as a raw, aggressive supercar but as a supremely capable, deeply satisfying grand tourer with genuine sporting flair. Its strengths lie in how smoothly it blends power, poise, and luxury, offering an unparalleled sense of occasion whenever you slip behind the wheel.

If you’re chasing raw, heart-racing excitement, go for the Vantage or even Vanquish. But for those who appreciate the fine balance of elegance and athleticism wrapped in a timelessly beautiful package, it stands among the best Aston Martin has ever produced.

After all, perfection doesn’t always mean reinventing the wheel. Sometimes, it’s about making the wheel turn more smoothly, more confidently, and with far greater finesse. And on that front, the Aston Martin DB12 has indeed arrived.

For those who believe that driving is an experience, not a chore, Aston Martin has unveiled its most potent, front-engine, rear-wheel-drive roadster yet.

Convertible sports cars are often plagued by one fundamental issue: compromise. More weight, less rigidity, and a softened chassis often dull the very edge that makes a sports car thrilling. But not here.  

Aston Martin engineered the Vantage Roadster alongside its coupe sibling, ensuring that from day one, it was built to handle like a proper driver’s car, not an afterthought with the roof lopped off.

It’s a mere 60kg increase in weight over the coupe, thanks to its lightweight aluminium chassis, advanced composite panels, and optimised suspension tuning. Other notable specs include:

• 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8, delivering 665PS (656bhp) and 800Nm of torque  
• 0-100 km/h in just 3.6 seconds 
• Top speed of 202mph (325 km/h)  
• Fastest electric folding roof in its class – 6.8 seconds up or down  

And, with no roof, you get an unfiltered symphony of V8 thunder that makes every drive a sensory experience.  

Aston Martin’s dynamics team has ensured that, despite its convertible nature, this Roadster remains precise, poised, and predictable, whether you’re attacking tight corners or cruising down a coastal road.  

This means zero compromise; you can push hard into corners with confidence, knowing the car will respond with the balance and precision expected of an Aston Martin.  

Oh, the roof. It’s the fastest fully automatic deployable roof on the market today. The ‘Z-fold’ mechanism means it takes a mere 6.8 seconds to open or close, even at speeds of up to 50 km/h. No fiddly tonneau covers, no clunky folding metal mechanisms, just seamless, fuss-free operation that adds to the theatre of the drive.  

With eight layers of insulation, cabin noise is on par with the coupe when the roof is up, making it a genuine grand tourer when needed.  

Some convertibles look stunning with the roof down but awkward when it’s up. Not the Vantage Roadster.  

Aston Martin’s designers have ensured the silhouette remains beautifully proportione*, whether the roof is tucked away or fully raised. The colour palette also gets a refresh, with three new hues added to the mix:  

• Iridescent Sapphire  
• Satin Iridescent Sapphire  
• Bronze Flare 

And for those who want even more personalisation, Aston Martin’s ‘Q by Aston Martin’ programme offers an array of bespoke liveries, interior trims, and custom details.  

With deliveries set to begin in Q2 2025, this is one Roadster that promises open-air thrills without compromise.

Fast forward to today, and the covers have come off the production model in a grander, more official setting. With its arrival, Singapore’s automotive enthusiasts now have the opportunity to own what Aston Martin touts as the most driver-focused and fastest Vantage to date.

Aston Martin is not one to mince words, and its tagline for the Vantage, “Engineered for Real Drivers”, encapsulates the essence of this beastly machine. 

Compared to its predecessor, the new Vantage delivers over 30% more power and a 16% increase in torque. That translates to 656bhp and 800Nm of torque from its 4.0-litre V8 twin-turbo engine.

Coupled with an 8-speed ZF automatic transmission that sends power to the rear wheels, the Vantage sprints from 0-100km/h in 3.4 seconds, with its top speed stretching to an exhilarating 325km/h.

Not bad for something that also looks like a work of art.

Power is nothing without control, and the Vantage’s engineers have left no stone unturned in ensuring its handling prowess matches its straight-line speed.

With a specially engineered chassis, featuring targeted bracing, enhanced undertrays, and larger anti-roll bars, the car boasts increased torsional stiffness and lateral rigidity. 

Meanwhile, next-generation Bilstein DTX adaptive dampers work tirelessly to deliver razor-sharp precision and supreme control.

A perfectly balanced 50:50 weight distribution is achieved through a meticulously crafted front mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout.

Coupled with a low centre of gravity (just 49cm off the ground) the Vantage is poised to react with the swiftness of a race car.

Aston Martin has always been synonymous with a design that turns heads, and the new Vantage is no exception. It’s 30mm wider than its predecessor, with a larger front grille that enhances its aggressive, low-slung stance.

Frameless door mirrors, flush door handles, and the iconic Aston Martin side strake are all present, ensuring this is every bit a statement.

The new Aston Martin Vantage has officially landed, with prices starting from $1,098,000 before options and COE.

This latest iteration of the iconic nameplate marks its return in spectacular fashion, and it is clear from the outset that the Vanquish has grown significantly in both power and presence.

At the heart of this grand tourer lies a formidable 5.2-litre V12 engine, delivering 824bhp and 1,000Nm of torque.

Remarkably, these figures are achieved without any hybrid assistance; no electric motors, no high-voltage batteries.

Instead, the Vanquish’s V12 has undergone a comprehensive overhaul. Strengthened cylinder blocks, redesigned heads, upgraded conrods, and new turbochargers are just a few of the enhancements that elevate its performance.  

These upgrades give the Vanquish a slight edge over the Ferrari 12Cilindri, whose naturally aspirated V12 produces 819bhp.

Power is sent to the rear wheels via a ZF eight-speed automatic transmission, propelling the Vanquish from 0 to 100km/h in a swift 3.2 seconds.   

Power is nothing without control, and the Vanquish delivers on both fronts. The car features a bonded aluminium body structure, boasting a 75% increase in lateral stiffness compared to the DBS 770 Ultimate.

This robust framework is complemented by a double wishbone suspension at the front and a multi-link setup at the rear, both fitted with Bilstein DTX dampers. Each element is meticulously calibrated to provide optimal damping performance.

Visually, the Vanquish stays true to its lineage while incorporating contemporary enhancements. The long, flowing bonnet and distinctive rear are defining features, the latter designed to minimise drag at higher speeds.

A newly enlarged front grille (13% bigger than that of the DBS 770 Ultimate) improves airflow to the powerhouse V12.

For those seeking distinctiveness, the Vanquish introduces bold side strakes, complete with bright chrome finishes and ‘V12’ emblems in red.

These serve as a visual cue to its exceptional performance credentials, differentiating it from other models like the DB12 and Vantage.

Inside, the Vanquish offers a luxurious environment designed with long-distance comfort in mind.

Standard Sports Plus Seats deliver both support and a low driving position, while optional carbon fibre Performance Seats cater to those with more performance-oriented tastes.

A panoramic glass roof, tinted to block harmful UV rays, adds to the cabin’s light and airy feel.

In a nod to practicality, Aston Martin has opted to forego rear seats in this Vanquish, enhancing its grand touring credentials.

Instead, buyers can opt for bespoke saddle leather luggage sets, ensuring ample storage for extended journeys.  

Aston Martin plans to produce only 1,000 units of the Vanquish annually, making it a highly exclusive offering.

Wearnes Automotive, the official distributor in Singapore, is now accepting indent orders, with prices starting at $2.2 million before COE and options.

To mark 60 years of this celebrated alliance, Aston Martin has unveiled the DB12 Goldfinger Edition, a homage to both the British carmaker’s rich lineage and the legacy of the most famous spy in cinematic history.

The DB12, Aston Martin’s Super Tourer, has been reimagined with the same flair that made the DB5 a legend when it first appeared in *Goldfinger* back in 1964. Only 60 units of the Goldfinger Edition will be produced, a fitting number to celebrate six decades of thrilling film moments shared between Bond and Aston Martin.

Taking inspiration from the DB5, the DB12 Goldfinger Edition is draped in Silver Birch paint, with subtle yet striking gold accents. From the unique Aston Martin logo to the black enamel side strakes, every detail whispers elegance while nodding to Bond’s timeless style.

Even the bespoke 21-inch multi-spoke wheels get the special treatment, ensuring this edition turns heads.

Inside, the car continues the theme of bespoke craftsmanship. Leather Sports Plus seats, styled after the DB5’s classic fluted design, feature an intricate Prince of Wales check, a subtle nod to Bond’s own sartorial choices.

Gold-plated accents, from the drive mode selector to the notched gear lever, add a touch of indulgence, echoing the sophistication of the golden era of Bond films. For the truly eagle-eyed Bond fan, an ‘eight of hearts’ motif is embroidered onto the sun visor; a reference to the famous *Goldfinger* pool scene.

Each DB12 Goldfinger Edition comes with a set of exclusive, Bond-inspired gifts. The lucky owners will receive a custom car cover, a Speedform model, a 35mm film strip from the legendary Furka Pass scene, and more—all housed in a Globe-Trotter attaché case.

“Celebrating 60 years of partnership with the Bond franchise through the DB12 Goldfinger Edition is a milestone for Aston Martin,” said Marco Mattiacci, Global Chief Brand and Commercial Officer. “This special edition is our tribute to a relationship that has helped define our brand’s global appeal.”

With its powerful 4.0-litre V8 Twin-Turbo engine delivering an impressive 670hp, the DB12 Goldfinger Edition performs, too.

The DB12 Goldfinger Edition is a must-have for collectors and Bond aficionados alike, and a reminder of why this legendary partnership continues to captivate the world.

Let’s be real, when someone like Newey, arguably the greatest technical mind in F1 history, decides to join your team, it’s not just big news.

The man has a resume that speaks for itself: 25 Formula One World titles to his name, leading the charge at teams like Red Bull Racing and McLaren. But what’s particularly exciting about this move is that it marks a fresh challenge for Newey, one where he feels he can bring something new to the table, and Aston Martin seems to be the perfect fit for that creative energy.

Starting March 1, 2025, Newey will take on the role of Managing Technical Partner at the team’s state-of-the-art Silverstone headquarters, a shift that signals Aston Martin’s serious intent to compete at the very top.

So, what’s drawing Newey to Aston Martin at this stage in his illustrious career?

For starters, it’s the brand-new AMR Technology Campus, a jaw-dropping facility in Silverstone that showcases the team’s ambition to become championship contenders. 

Combine that with the technical reset coming in 2026, the team’s partnership with Honda for power units, and advanced fuels from Aramco, and you’ve got all the elements needed to stir Newey’s technical imagination.

Lawrence Stroll, Aston Martin Aramco’s Executive Chairman, announced Newey’s arrival, “This is huge news,” Stroll said. “Adrian is the best in the world at what he does, he’s at the top of his game, and I am incredibly proud that he is joining us.”

For Stroll, Newey’s addition is the next chapter in the team’s relentless push to fight for world championships. “As soon as Adrian became available, we knew we had to make it happen,” he added, recounting how their initial conversations revealed a shared desire for this once-in-a-lifetime collaboration.

“I am thrilled to be joining the Aston Martin Aramco Formula One Team,” Newey said. “Lawrence’s passion and commitment are incredibly inspiring. He’s the only majority team owner actively engaged in the sport, and that level of involvement is rare.”

Newey was particularly impressed with the new AMR Technology Campus and the advanced wind tunnel at Silverstone, calling them “state-of-the-art” with a layout designed to foster creativity and innovation.

Beyond the physical infrastructure, it’s the team’s partnerships with Honda and Aramco that intrigue Newey. With these powerhouses providing cutting-edge technology and support, the pieces are in place for Aston Martin to finally emerge as a championship-winning team.

“I look forward to reaching that goal,” Newey said. And when someone like Adrian Newey says that, you can bet the rest of the grid will be paying attention.

The latest model from the in-house bespoke division, Q by Aston Martin, is limited to just 38 units globally, and are all fully allocated. Sorry if you were thinking of taking out your checkbook.

The Valiant’s story begins with a personal commission from Fernando Alonso, an Aston Martin Aramco Formula One Team driver.

Inspired by his illustrious 23-year career in Formula 1 and his love for pushing boundaries, Alonso envisioned a lightweight, extreme race car version of the Aston Martin Valour.

This vision, combined with the craftsmanship of Q by Aston Martin, brought Valiant to life.

Valiant, like its sibling Valour, draws inspiration from the brand’s iconic heritage while firmly planting itself in the future of performance and technology.

Fernando Alonso shared his excitement, saying, “Valour was a spectacular celebration of Aston Martin’s 110th anniversary, and it inspired me to create a more extreme, race car-inspired version that’s track-focused, yet thrilling on the road. Valiant embodies my passion for driving at the limit.”

The Valiant is a blend of brutal V12 performance, contemporary engineering, lightweight materials, and design. Its 5.2-litre V12 engine now develops 734hp and 753Nm of torque.

Carbon Ceramic brakes provide immense stopping power, and the use of lightweight materials like a 3D-printed rear subframe and magnesium torque tube enhances agility and handling.

The Multimatic Adaptive Spool Valve (ASV) dampers are the crown jewel of Valiant’s suspension system. These state-of-the-art dampers offer motorsport-level damping control, enabling the car to handle like a dream on both track and road.

Inside, the two-seat cockpit features exposed satin-finish carbon fibre, lightweight upholstery, and a new steering wheel designed for intuitive feel.

The manual gearbox’s exposed linkage and bespoke gear knob add to the mechanical charm, while the built-in half-cage and Recaro Podium seats ensure driver safety and comfort.

Marco Mattiacci, Global Chief Brand and Commercial Officer of Aston Martin, described Valiant as “a modern masterpiece. Inspired by a racing legend and conceived using the latest F1 technology, Valiant focuses on providing a unique, intense, and emotional driving experience. It’s the ultimate blend of performance, track-focused dynamics, and hypercar intensity.”

Valiant is set to make its public debut at the 2024 Goodwood Festival of Speed, with dynamic demonstrations on the famous Hill Climb course, including a run by its first customer, Fernando Alonso. Who else could it be?

With deliveries starting in Q4 2024, the lucky few who managed to score one will be chuffed to bits when their own road-going monster arrives in their garages.

Of course, if they can help it, Aston Martin doesn’t want to give up on its famed V12 engine any time soon. So, it recently unravelled the details of a new updated V12, a powerhouse that not only sustains the legacy of its predecessors but propels it into a new era with unmatched gusto.

Boasting 823hp and 1000Nm of torque, this V12 is the result of an extensive overhaul aimed at enhancing every microscopic detail of the combustion cycle. The technical ballet performed to bring this engine to life includes fortifying the cylinder block and conrods, revamping cylinder heads, and recalibrating camshafts.

The repositioned spark plugs and new, more voluminous fuel injectors orchestrate a symphony of optimised combustion. Meanwhile, the turbochargers promise a responsiveness that can only be described as telepathic.

Roberto Fedeli, Aston Martin’s Chief Technical Officer, stated, “The V12 engine has long stood as a paragon of power and prestige, but above all, it represents our unyielding passion for engineering and excellence.”

True to the brand’s commitment to exclusivity and personal touch, each unit of this V12 will be meticulously handcrafted. As expected, it will grace only the most elite and scarce models in Aston Martin’s lineup.

The debut of this new V12 will be in a flagship model that promises to disrupt the dynamics of high-end sports cars. Slated for a grand reveal later in 2024, all rivals will indeed be vanquished. Catch our drift.
