The V8 Vantage S sharpened the standard car with 430 hp, quicker steering, a shorter final drive, and the Sportshift II seven-speed automated manual. Wider sills, a larger rear diffuser, and a carbon splitter signaled the intent; the chassis tuning delivered on it. For drivers who found the base Vantage a touch too polite, the S was the factory's answer.
