Aston Martin has disclosed that it will reveal its latest sports car, the Vantage, on February 12, 2024. The British automaker shared a teaser photo of the upcoming car, which hints that, just like the new DB12, this model is also going to get a refreshing design. The 2024 Aston Martin Vantage will be unveiled alongside the AMR24 Formula 1 car and the Vantage GT3 race car on February 12.
The auto giant will disclose the pricing and availability information of the 2024 Vantage at the time of its official debut. However, it is likely to be priced higher than its predecessor, which is available at a starting price of INR 3 crore (ex-showroom).

The Vantage will come with a new front fascia. It will get a conservative grille and bigger headlights. The turn signals will be integrated into the side mirror caps. The latest image reveals that the Aston Martin Vantage will come with new styling elements, including a prominent body line that nearly splits the car’s door in half. The back wheel arches and side skirt are extended, adding to the Vantage’s visual appeal.
Under the hood, the 2024 Vantage is expected to come with the same twin-turbo 4.0-liter V-8 motor equipped in the Mercedes-AMG. The 4.0-litre dual-turbocharged unit churns out 503 bhp of horsepower. The outgoing Vantage model and the DB12 are also powered by the Mercedes-AMG-sourced V8 motor. In comparison to the older Vantage, the automaker is likely to add a more robust unit to the upcoming model. However, the manufacturer is not going to offer a V12 engine option in the 2024 Vantage car.
When it comes to gear shifting choices, it's doubtful whether the brand will offer a manual transmission or not, as the previous variant was automatic only. However, the company has confirmed that it will produce more limited-run models with manual transmissions, just like the Valour that was unveiled in July last year. The British manufacturer has not shared many details about this next-generation sports car other than saying that it will be the “fastest and most exhilarating example.”
