2017 Aston Martin Vantage S RWD Manual

Model Highlights

The Vantage lineup is offered in V12 Vantage S and V8 Vantage GTS models, and is available in either coupe or roadster versions. The Vantage GTS is powered by a 4.7L V8 engine, making 430 horsepower and 361 pound-feet of torque, paired with either a 6-speed manual or 7-speed automatic transmission. The V12 Vantage S model comes with a 5.9L V12 engine that makes 563 horsepower and 457 pound-feet of torque. It is paired with a 7-speed manual transmission or a 7-speed single-clutch automatic that can be shifted via steering wheel paddles. As an exotic high-performance sports car, with a V12 under the hood, the Vantage S is capable of hitting 60 mph in just 3.7 seconds. The V8 Vantage GTS comes standard with leather or alcantara interior, AMi III infotainment system with Apple CarPlay, navigation, automatic climate control, full power accessories, keyless entry, rearview camera, reverse parking sensors, power heated seats with lumbar support, variable intermittent wipers and headlight washers and 19-inch wheels. The Sport package features a firmer sport-tuned suspension, black and carbon fiber exterior accents, with similar black and carbon fiber trim throughout the interior. The Lux package features a softer, more comfort-oriented suspension, chrome exterior accents, satin chrome interior trim, soft leather seats and an upgraded sounds system. The V12 Vantage S model is mainly differentiated by their additional hood venting, but there are a few other exterior touches, and of course the 5.9L V12 performance engine. A driver selectable adaptive suspension provides three suspension settings: Sport, Sport+ and Track. Additionally, the new 7-speed manual transmission gives drivers the pure sports car feel, with control over the 563 horsepower at your fingertips. Roadsters come with a power-operated soft-top arrangement, as well as a different rear damper and spring setup, a different trunk lid, including more of a flip up at the back, for aerodynamics, as well as a different lower front air intake. The roadster's soft-top fits under a metal tonneau, and can be operated at speeds up to 30 mph. Aston Martin offers many options for the Vantage models. Standout options include front parking sensors, auto-dimming rear view mirror, carbon fiber paddle shifters, 1,000-watt Bang & Olufsen audio system, polished alloy treadplates, an umbrella with built-in holder and an extensive list of custom color combinations for the interior and exterior appearance.
