In Photos: 007 Ride, the Aston Martin Vantage, Gets a Makeover

The 2018 Aston Martin Vantage gets a bold design, is lighter and a tad quicker than its predecessor.

The 2018 Aston Martin Vantage will continue to be the most ‘affordable’ in the Aston Martin range.

The Aston Martin Vantage is supposed to be the entry-level Aston Martin. Although it has design elements from the larger DB11, the 2018 model is quite a deviation in terms of design. (Photo Courtesy: Aston Martin)

The Vantage is significantly smaller in size compared to the DB11. It is a two-seater sports coupe. The new car sports a more rounded design with more cuts and curves. (Photo Courtesy: Aston Martin)

The aerodynamic profile of the Aston Martin is unmistakable. Looks a lot like its predecessor when viewed from the side. It sports an aluminium chassis and a lot of focus has gone into making it as light as possible. (Photo Courtesy: Aston Martin)

Aston Martin fans were waiting to see the design language evolution in the car. The large, wide grille which is quite bare is indicative of a future shift towards cars with minimal design for grilles (and perhaps and electric future). (Photo Courtesy: Aston Martin)

At the rear the full-length LED strip tail-lamp unit that runs the width of the car is quite a bold step in design. The centre portion is the stop lamp, while the corner lamps are the tail-lamp and turn indicators. (Photo Courtesy: Aston Martin)

The interiors have colour-coordinated stitching on leather upholstery. The seats are are fully electrically adjustable. (Photo Courtesy: Aston Martin)

The centre console does not have a conventional shifter. Instead the 8-speed automatic transmission is operated by means of buttons. Even the parking brake is electronic. The engine start button takes pride of place in the centre. (Photo Courtesy: Aston Martin)

The Aston Martin Vantage is hand-built, and its exclusivity is detailed in areas like the scuff plates. (Photo Courtesy: Aston Martin)

The Aston Martin Vantage is powered by an AMG sourced 4-litre, V8 twin-turbo petrol engine that puts out 503 bhp of power and 682 Nm of torque. (Photo Courtesy: Aston Martin)
