The Vantage S maintains the classic Vantage exterior but with a new lower front bumper that is finished in perfectly-aligned carbon fibre. It has revised side sills that optically widen the car. There is a rear splitter united with the extended deck lid 'flip' to produce an aggressive rear profile. The new model features complete new 19 inch 'V' spoke wheel styles and it also has an optional 10-spoke lightweight forged wheel. The Aston Martin V8 vantage S has the Aston's familiar 4.7-liter aluminum V-8 engine but with improved air-flow, new programming to keep the exhaust system's bypass valves open longer, and new mufflers. It delivers 430 hp and 361 lb-ft of torque with the net gain of 10 ponies and 15 lb-ft. The Vantage S has a new single-clutch seven-speed Graziano automated manual to let the engine output flow.
