Aston Martin Vantage
Initially designed as a Porsche 911 fighter, the modern-day Vantage is now in its second generation, dating back to 2018. With the V12 not returning for 2023, the only engine left is a twin-turbocharged 4.0-litre V8 that delivers either 503 horsepower or 527 horsepower depending on the model. A significant refresh and technological update, similar to the one applied to the new DB12, is coming for 2024. Look for a revised front fascia, more potent V8 and higher-tech cockpit.
