More power, sharper responses and an extra letter on the boot. The Aston Martin Vantage S has officially made its Singapore debut. Picture an Aston Martin, and you will likely envision a long bonnet, a sumptuous cabin, and an engine making noises sufficiently antisocial to upset the neighbours.

The Ferrari Amalfi, meanwhile, comes with 631bhp, a twin-turbocharged V8 and a price ...
