Aston Martin’s all-new Vantage sports car will make its global debut at next week’s Geneva Motor Show.
The V8-powered two-seater is the latest car to enter the British manufacturer’s line-up, and is one of the more recent models to use a Mercedes-AMG-sourced turbocharged engine.

On sale now, the Vantage is priced from £120,900 and first deliveries are expected to commence in the second quarter of this year.
Aston Martin’s president and chief executive, Andy Palmer, said: “Geneva is a highlight of the industry calendar and a motor show with a rich history and great atmosphere. It’s an indication of Aston Martin’s growth that we have adopted a new stand location for 2018 – one that affords us the extra space we need to display our growing range.”
It’ll appear alongside the newly released DB11 Volante, as well as the Aston Martin Red Bull Racing F1 car and Aston Martin Racing’s latest Vantage GTE race car. The GTE has been produced to compete in the World Endurance Championship, which sees car and driver tested over gruelling long-distance races – including the prestigious 24 Hours of Le Mans.
Palmer added: “I’m especially excited to see how people react to the new Vantage. We also have the recently launched and extremely beautiful DB11 Volante on the stand, and I’m certain motorsport fans will be thrilled to see the Aston Martin Red Bull Racing F1 car and Aston Martin Racing’s all-new Vantage GTE World Endurance Championship challenger.
“It’s always a proud moment to see the fruits of the company’s efforts on show in one place, but this year’s Geneva show promises to be extra special. We may even have one or two surprises in store!”
