When new CEO Adrian Hallmark joined Aston Martin, he said he'd be pushing the brand to come out with more model variants. That brief led to the DBX S, and now this, the Vantage S, a hotter version of Aston's entry-level sports car, arriving about 18 months after the standard version. The headline is more oomph from its 4.0-liter twin-turbo V-8, 671 horsepower and 590 pound-feet, plus lots of detail changes throughout.
