I simply spent every 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 as a result of its very giant 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 offer it among the finest stances of any automotive on sale at the moment.
Critically, simply take a look at that photograph. It’s ridiculous! The 2025 Vantage comes with 21-inch wheels as customary, which is already fairly wild for a sports activities automotive of comparatively small dimension. Then you definately 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 really like how concave this break up five-spoke design is, and so they look superior tucked into the extensive fenders. New vents, greater exhaust suggestions and different refined adjustments have improved the Vantage’s rear-end design, and the redesigned aspect vents within the entrance fenders look actually nice. You possibly can see plenty of the rear tires because of the way in which the diffuser is formed and kicks up on the backside, which is changing into a extra frequent (and I feel good) development on efficiency vehicles.
You actually gotta give it up for this paint coloration, 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 rather 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 have got concerning the automotive? Keep tuned for my full overview.
