“Aston Martin’s involvement in Formula One is fully felt in the new Vantage F1 Edition. With more power and focus this is the sharpest Vantage yet, but thanks to excellent suspension and a comfortable cabin, this is a track-friendly special edition that’ll still be superb to live with every day.”

Design

The fundamentals of the F1 Edition are the same as the regular Vantage, but Aston Martin has made several tweaks and changes to make it even more accomplished in the bends. The chassis has been stiffened to help take turn-in response to the extreme, while the steering has been tweaked, allowing it to be even more responsive than before.

A full aerodynamic kit comes as standard on the Vantage F1 Edition, with a full-width splitter, underbody turning vanes and a huge rear wing combining to create 200kg more downforce than the standard Vantage at top speed.

The exterior of the Vantage F1 Edition has been beefed-up considerably. Of course, the look is dominated by the large rear wing, but things have been elevated further with a new set of exterior colours, including one that celebrates Aston Martin’s involvement in Formula One with a special Racing Green colourway.

There’s the option to have either satin or gloss exterior paint finishes, while all versions get a vaned grille as standard and carbon fibre exterior detailing. Remember that the new Aston Martin Vantage F1 Edition is available as either hard-top Coupe or a folding soft-top Roadster. Both gain the same range of aerodynamic and design upgrades.

Inside, every Aston Martin Vantage F1 Edition for sale features some choice styling changes over the Vantage. For instance, all models get Obsidian Black leather with Phantom Grey Alcantara contrasts, while this suede-like material is used on a number of other areas inside the Vantage’s cabin. Then, there’s the choice of Lime Green, Obsidian Black, Wolf Grey or Spicy Red contrast stripes and stitching that really add some extra theatre to the cabin.

Aston Martin’s supportive Sports Plus seats are fitted as standard, with these chairs gaining the firm’s famous Wings logo embroidered in silver on the headrests. Aluminium tread plates add a flash of silver to brighten up your entry and exit of the car, too.

As with other Aston Martin models, the level of personalisation on offer is extremely high. As we’ve mentioned, there is a variety of interior accent stripe colours to choose from.

There’s also the option to add in a grey Alcantara headlining - replacing the standard micromesh version - that helps to take that track-focused feeling up a gear.

Plus, if you’d like to elevate the use of lightweight materials across the F1 Edition, then you can add in an interior carbon fibre pack which applies the futuristic material to a number of elements inside the cabin.

Tech

There’s a lot of great technology included in the Aston Martin Vantage F1 Edition’s price, including a high-definition central screen which gives access to all of the car’s major media and navigation functions. Connecting your phone via Bluetooth is a smooth process, too, and once you’re up and running it’s simple to take calls or listen to messages via buttons on the multifunction steering wheel or the screen itself.

You’ll also be able to stream media loaded to your phone through the Vantage’s system. However, if you’re after an even more immersive sound, then there’s the option to upgrade to Aston Martin’s premium audio system.

Engines & Performance

Central to the Aston Martin Vantage F1 Edition is its twin-turbocharged 4.0-litre V8 engine. Upgraded over the standard Vantage, it pushes out 530bhp and 685Nm of torque. This is then sent to the rear wheels through an eight-speed automatic transmission, which has been sharpened to make the shifts even more engaging.

All Vantage F1 Edition models use a stainless steel exhaust system with an integrated electronically controlled valve. When at lower speeds, the exhaust is quieter yet apply more throttle and the valve will open, allowing the engine to fully vocalise.

Statistics

The Vantage F1 Edition definitely has enough performance to live up to that motorsport-inspired name. Zero to 60mph will take 3.5 seconds in the coupe or 3.6 seconds in the Roadster, with the former carrying on to a top speed of 195mph and the latter 190mph. It means that, regardless of which roof layout you opt for, you’re getting some serious speed.

When it comes to efficiency, Aston Martin states that the Coupe will emit 264g/km CO2 and the Roadster 263g/km, while both bring combined consumption figures of 24.3mpg.
