2026 Aston Martin Vantage S revealed with 500kW V8

2026 Aston Martin Vantage S revealed with 500kW V8

Posted on July 9, 2025 By rehan.rafique No Comments on 2026 Aston Martin Vantage S revealed with 500kW V8

The 2025 Aston Martin Vantage S has been revealed with a 500kW twin-turbocharged V8 powertrain and driver-focused chassis upgrades ahead of its public debut at this weekend’s 2025 Goodwood Festival of Speed.

Described by the British brand as “the most performance focused Vantage”, the S adds more power, more prestige and, ultimately, more performance – for a yet to be announced price.

The Vantage S is yet to be confirmed for Australian release, but will be available in both Coupe and Roadster (convertible) body styles in the UK, where first deliveries are scheduled by the end of this year. 

Based on previous Aston Martin model launches, it is likely to become available in Australia sometime in 2026.

If it’s sold here, the Vantage S Coupe is expected to be priced around $450,000 before on-road costs, around $40,000 more than the regular Vantage V8 Coupe ($410,000 plus on-roads).

The same price premium would see the Vantage S Roadster start at around $475,000. 

In the Vantage S, the Mercedes-AMG sourced 4.0-litre twin-turbo petrol V8 produces 500kW – an additional 11kW – and the same 600Nm of torque, but the latter is delivered over 3000-6000rpm rather than 2000-5000rpm in the standard version.

The more highly strung V8 powers the rear wheels through a ZF eight-speed automatic transmission and carbon-fibre driveshaft, shaving 0.1 seconds from the official 0-100km/h acceleration claim (now 3.4 seconds), with 0-200km/h pace now quoted at 10.1 seconds.
