Aston Martin is entering a new era, and models such as the latest Vantage are propelling the British marque to the forefront of the sports car class. At least, that鈥檚 the theory we鈥檙e putting to the test here. With a technical tie-up that sees it use an engine from AMG but Aston鈥檚 engineering know-how for the chassis, the signs look positive. But to rise to the top the newcomer will have to beat the car that鈥檚 dominated this sector of the market for more than 50 years: the Porsche 911. And specifically here, the GTS model. Following our early taste of the Vantage, Aston鈥檚 chief of vehicle attribute engineering, Matt Becker, told us this is the car the company benchmarked during the development process. So with the 911 in the Aston鈥檚 crosshairs, can the new model win? For: Looks and image, ride comfort, sweet steering matched by muscular powertrain.

Swing the long door open and upwards, drop yourself into the low-slung but supportive seat, thumb the pulsing red starter button and listen to that 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 explode into life. The AMG-sourced engine produces 503bhp and 685Nm, while Aston has tuned the set-up for the character it wanted in the Vantage. That includes replacing AMG鈥檚 twin-clutch transmission with a regular eight-speed auto - for better low-speed drivability, we鈥檙e told. However, the Aston does use AMG鈥檚 E-Diff, and to great effect, because it鈥檚 a key component in the car鈥檚 sweet balance. The all-aluminium structure and 50:50 weight distribution help, as does the nicely weighted steering. With all that torque and a great connection to the car via the steering and throttle (response is solid and predictable), the Vantage will play the hooligan and indulge owners in its inherent balance. But focus on tidy driving and it鈥檚 a neat, effective performance car.
