2026 Aston Martin Vantage S Road Test

This is a fun road test of the Aston Martin Vantage S along the coast in Malibu, California. The Vantage S benefits from 15 more horsepower (now 691 hp) and a complete chassis and suspension update to improve its dynamics. It's got five driving modes (Sport, Sport+, Track, Individual, Wet) and even the "base" Sport mode provides aggressive throttle response and suspension tuning. You have to appreciate that baseline level of performance, but if you do, the Vantage S' speed (0-60 in 3.3 seconds) and overall driving experience is excellent.
