Verdict — Aston Martin Vantage Coupé (Model Year 2025)
Grand Touring Sports Car · 4.0 L Twin-Turbo V8 · 375 kW (510 hp), 685 Nm · RWD · 0–100 km/h in 3.6 s · Top Speed 314 km/h · 8-Speed ZF Automatic · 1,530 kg Curb Weight · 120 mm Ground Clearance
The 2025 Vantage Coupé blends extreme performance with quintessential British elegance in a compact package (4.46 m long, 2.68 m wheelbase). Its long sculpted bonnet, wide “wing” grille, and slim LED headlights present an aggressive yet refined face, while pronounced wheel arches house 21″ twin-spoke forged wheels.
Inside, the “Driver Focus” cockpit prioritizes the pilot: Windsor leather sport seats, a racer-style flat-bottom steering wheel, and a driver-oriented center console featuring a 10.25″ touchscreen for infotainment and climate. Contrast stitching, circular aluminum air vents, and carbon-fiber trim underscore the supercar atmosphere. Though the 350 L boot is modest, it’s sufficient for a weekend’s track gear.
