The 2025 Aston Martin Vantage is getting a major power increase and facelift. The new engine package, which includes a turbocharged eight-pot, will allow the car to reach speeds of up to 60 mph in just 3.4 seconds and run out at an impressive 202 mph.
The Vantage's exterior changes are limited but include larger diameter quad exhaust tailpipes and new bodywork that fills the arches with standard forged alloy wheels with wider tires.

The Vantage's exterior changes are limited but include larger diameter quad exhaust tailpipes and new bodywork that fills the arches with standard forged alloy wheels with wider tires. The interior has also been completely overhauled, featuring a touchscreen display and an enormous 656 horsepower output.
The Vantage is expected to hit production by March of this year, with deliveries starting in June. If you're looking for a powerful and stylish sports car that will turn heads on the road or track, the 2025 Aston Martin Vantage may be just what you need.
The new Vantage's arches are filled by standard 22-inch forged alloy wheels with fatter tires and a one-inch increase in body width.
From the side, the car is distinguished by small vents set into bumper and larger diameter quad exhaust tailpipes. The rear profile is little changed beyond these changes.
Accuracy
The revised car still carries the Vantage name despite thought given to changing it due to scale of changes being greater than DB11 into DB12
The new Vantage's engine shares its layout, capacity, and AMG bloodline with its predecessor: a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8
Beneath the surface, the Vantage's body structure has been stiffened with new reinforcement pieces; the improvement across the whole car is quoted as 7 percent.
The old Vantage had separate control switches for its adjustable powertrain and chassis settings, but the new one has a single controller for all functions
There will be five dynamic modes: Wet, Sport, Sport Plus, Track and Individual which modify engine damper and power steering settings as well as reactions of electrically controlled torque-biasing rear differential.
The increase in performance is set to be matched by an increase in price. We don't have a confirmed number yet but expect the new Vantage to be around $190,000 nearly $20,000 more than the previous Vantage F1 Edition with first customer deliveries starting in the second quarter of 2024.
Deception
(90%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author claims that the new Vantage has a huge power increase of 656 horsepower and output that sees it leapfrogging rivals such as the Porsche 911 Turbo S and Mercedes-AMG GT63. However, this is not entirely accurate as while there was an increase in power from the previous model, it did not actually surpass its competitors in terms of horsepower output.

The author states that the new Vantage has a maximum output of 656 horsepower. This statement is misleading as it implies that this is the highest possible output for this car when in fact there are other models with higher outputs available.
Fallacies
(85%)
The article contains several examples of informal fallacies. The author uses an appeal to authority by stating that the new Vantage is expected to be around $190,000 without providing any evidence or reasoning for this claim. Additionally, the author makes a statement about Aston's close connection to Formula 1 safety car duties which seems likely but there is no evidence provided to support this claim.

The article is biased towards the new Aston Martin Vantage by highlighting its increased power and performance. The author also uses language that deifies the car's design and features without providing any context or comparison to other cars in its class.
>656 horsepower
As before, <em>the lower sill cover</em> is a structural rather than cosmetic component, and it will now be possible to specify it in carbon fiber.
Aston insiders say that the overall scale of the changes is even greater than the one that turned the DB11 into the DB12.
<p>The outgoing Vantage was already a handsome beast, so we’re not surprised that visual changes are limited.</p>

The author has a conflict of interest on the topic of power increase as they are reporting on an Aston Martin Vantage with an AMG V-8 engine and a power output of 656 horsepower.
The Aston Martin Vantage GT3 is a race car version of the two-door coupe.
It has a unique race version of the engine with bespoke turbochargers, dry sump oiling system and much more.
Power will be variable depending on Balance of Performance restrictions, but it is expected to make over 536 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque.
It uses a six-speed Xtrax sequential transmission and Alcon brakes for stopping.
The design and aero package is all new for this next-gen GT3 car, as is the suspension.
Accuracy
The new Vantage GT3 already took to the track at last month's Rolex 24 at Daytona.

The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the title mentions a 'new' Vantage GT3 race car reveal but it has already been revealed and competed at the Rolex 24 at Daytona. Secondly, Aston Martin claims that this new version of their engine will make more than 536 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque, however they do not provide any specifics on how much power it actually makes or what the Balance of Performance restrictions are. Thirdly, the article states that Aston Martin has solved the problem with dive under braking but does not provide any evidence to support this claim.

The article contains several logical fallacies. The author uses an appeal to authority by stating that the Aston Martin Vantage GT3 has already taken to the track at last month's Rolex 24 at Daytona without providing any evidence or context for this claim. Additionally, the author makes a false dilemma when they state that there are only two options for power output in Balance of Performance restrictions, implying that Aston Martin has no control over the rules and regulations governing racing events.
The appeal to authority: 'It’s sort of a post-reveal “reveal” because this new Vantage already took to the track at last month’s Rolex 24 at Daytona.'
The false dilemma: 'There are only two options for power output in Balance of Performance restrictions, but through a lot of fine-tuning and testing with damper tuning, it believes the problem to be solved.'

The article mentions that Aston Martin has increased the power output of its V8 engine to send more power through an electronic rear limited slip before hitting the rear wheels. This is deceptive because it implies that there will be no wheel spin, but in reality, this may not always be true.
