Overview

The 2015 Aston Martin Vantage S Coupe is a midsize coupe offered in a single trim level, starting off at a base MSRP of $132,995. For that price, it mainly competes with the Audi R8 V8 Coupe, the Porsche 911 GT3 Coupe, and the Maserati GranTurismo Coupe. The Vantage S offers a single powertrain. It is a 4.7L V8 making 430 horsepower and 361 lb-ft of torque. However, there is a choice between a 6-speed manual transmission and a 7-speed single-clutch automated manual transmission. The Vantage S reaches 60 mph from zero in 4.6 seconds on its base engine. Depending on the transmission, the Vantage S can manage a combined fuel economy between 15 and 16 mpg. While we’re on the topic of choices, the 29 striking colors the Vantage S comes in really pull you towards itself.

Buying Advice

The Aston Martin Vantage S Coupe has a heavy price tag but comes with limited standard amenities. You will be spending more on the features like heated front seats, front parking sensors, and Bang & Olufsen BeoSound audio system.
