2026 Aston Martin Vantage S Packs More Power and Sharper Dynamics
What’s New in the 2026 Aston Martin Vantage S?
The 2026 Aston Martin Vantage S isn’t just a facelift – it’s a full-on performance evolution. The 2026 Aston Martin Vantage S comes armed with a heavily upgraded 671hp twin-turbo V8, tuned chassis components, and aerodynamic tweaks that boost both looks and performance. For those who want their sports car to be fast, focused and premium.
At its global debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, the Vantage S stole the show with more than just good looks. It’s coming to India early 2026 and it’s already turning heads.
Performance First: 500kW of Roaring V8 Power
Not your regular Vantage. The 2026 Vantage S uses the same 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 as before, but it’s been reworked to unleash a mighty 671hp (500kW). Torque remains at 800Nm but kicks in earlier for quicker response.
Backed by a recalibrated 8-speed ZF automatic gearbox, it sends all that power to the rear wheels. 0-100 km/h in 3.4 seconds, anyone? With a max velocity of 325 km/h, the Vantage S doesn’t just move – it storms the tarmac.
Sharper Dynamics, For Thrill-Seekers
More power means nothing without control. Aston’s engineers have fiddled with everything:
- Recalibrated suspension with Bilstein DTX dampers
- Stiffer front, softer rear springs for balance between precision and comfort
- Direct-mounted rear subframe for sharper steering
- Tuned throttle response across all drive modes
- 111kg of downforce at top speed thanks to revised aero setup including a new rear spoiler
This makes the 2026 Aston Martin Vantage S feel more connected, more aggressive and way more fun.
Fresh Styling, Sporty Inside-Out
You’ll spot the “S” version by its 21-inch Y-spoke alloys, bronze calipers and new decklid spoiler. The carbon-fibre bonnet blades not only look cool – they help extract heat too.Inside? It’s Alcantara and leather with satin carbon-fibre and embroidered ‘S’ logos. You can even tweak the rotary drive-mode knob with red or silver accents that tie in with your seatbelt color or stitching for that extra custom touch. A true driver’s cockpit.
