I simply spent per week with the redesigned 2025 Aston Martin Vantage, which is extraordinarily good. It’s perhaps essentially the most thrilling automotive I’ve pushed this 12 months, and that’s largely resulting from its very massive tires. It’s extra the width of the tires not the general largeness, truly, and greater than making the Vantage really feel alive on Mulholland Drive, they provide it among the best stances of any automotive on sale immediately.
Significantly, simply have a look at that picture. It’s ridiculous! The 2025 Vantage comes with 21-inch wheels as normal, which is already fairly wild for a sports activities automotive of comparatively small dimension. You then discover the distinction in width. The entrance tires are 275/35ZR21, and the rears are 325/30ZR21 — that’s even wider than you get from a Lamborghini Huracan. Particularly when seen from a rear three-quarter angle, the Vantage’s stance is simply epic.
The wheel design helps. Whereas satin black wouldn’t be the end I’d go for, I like how concave this cut up five-spoke design is, they usually look superior tucked into the huge fenders. New vents, greater exhaust suggestions and different refined adjustments have improved the Vantage’s rear-end design, and the redesigned facet vents within the entrance fenders look actually nice. You possibly can see quite a lot of the rear tires because of the best way the diffuser is formed and kicks up on the backside, which is changing into a extra widespread (and I feel good) pattern on efficiency automobiles.
You actually gotta give it up for this paint shade, too. It’s referred to as Cosmopolitan Yellow and it prices $13,600. It has some acidity and lime tinges to it, and it sparkles extremely in direct daylight. I feel the Vantage’s styling lends itself very well to intense, brilliant, vibrant colours, however I might do one thing classier and extra refined, like a classic brown. Equally, as cool because the $20,000-ish of exterior carbon-fiber trim is, I’d do with out it.
What do you consider the brand new Vantage’s stance? What questions do you will have concerning the automotive? Keep tuned for my full evaluate.
