Last year, Aston Martin hinted the redesigned Vantage would be unveiled in early 2024. We now have an apparent date as the model is slated to debut on February 12.
The company is keeping details under wraps, but they kicked off a teaser campaign that suggests the car has been “engineered for real drivers.”
As the automaker explained, “As soon as you sit in the driving seat, you must understand your car. It’s that connection that lets you get to the limit. You are no longer two separate things. You are both responding to each other and completely speaking the same language.”

While Aston Martin is playing coy on specifics, spy photographers have already snapped the model in coupe and roadster guise. It follows in the footsteps of the DB12 and sports a familiar design with a handful of modest updates.
That being said, the redesigned Vantage will have a more traditional aesthetic thanks to a revised grille that is flanked by larger headlights. They’ll be joined by a new hood and what appears to be a more curvaceous front bumper. The rest of the design largely carries over, but the model will apparently have a ventilated rear bumper that echoes the one found on the limited edition V12 Vantage.
Spy photographers haven’t gotten a good look inside, but we wouldn’t be surprised if the model draws inspiration from the DB12. As a result, the cabin could be modernized thanks to streamlined switchgear and a larger infotainment system. We can also expect higher quality materials and more attention to detail.
Less is known about the engine, but the current model has a twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 developing 503 hp (375 kW / 510 PS) and 505 lb-ft (685 Nm) of torque. It enables the coupe to accelerate from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) in 3.6 seconds, before hitting a top speed of 195 mph (314 km/h).
We can likely expect that output to climb as the Vantage F1 Edition has 527 hp (535 PS), while the 2024 Mercedes-AMG GT 63 packs 577 hp (430 kW / 585 PS) and 590 lb-ft (799 Nm) of torque.
