Aston Martin has just given us a glimpse of the refreshed V8 Vantage, due to be unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in March. The facelift focuses on the styling of the baby Aston, although it does improve some other aspects of the car.
Some of these design differences include a new lower front bumper, an air splitter, redesigned side sills and a revised rear bumper with an integrated diffuser. The entry-level Vantage will receive some performance mods as well, including parts that were originally from the Vantage S. This includes quicker steering, wider tyres and bigger brakes.
The facelift doesn’t modify the engine though, so you get a 313kW 4.7-litre V8 in Vantage, with the Vantage S getting a 321kW version of the same engine. Power is sent through a six-speed manual as standard, with an optional seven-speed Sportshift II transmission, which replaces the old six-speed Sportshift.
