The 2023 Aston Martin Vantage has a glistening exterior, posh interior, six figure price tag and earthshattering speed. But does it have what it takes to unseat the 2023 Porsche Taycan, a super car so well designed that many consider it the pinnacle of automotive engineering?
Design & Style
The Aston Martin Vantage is ultra-exotic and available in convertible or coupe form. It has a stunning silhouette with external sheet metal that was masterfully sculpted. While most versions are powered by the still impressive V8 engine, those desiring track level performance must upgrade to the dual turbo V12 instead. The Aston Martin Vantage seats two while offering rocket ship level acceleration.
The Porsche Taycan is fully electric and devastatingly powerful. Its exquisite and luminous presentation easily matches the Aston Martin as does its interstellar acceleration and handling. Those fortunate enough to test drive it have been thrilled with the rapid recharge times and extended range, and unlike other super cars which are light on driver assistance and seating space, the Taycan incorporates the industry’s most advanced features while seating up to five passengers without sacrificing performance.
Technology & Safety
Not only does the Porsche Taycan come with extensive driver assistance, but much of it is standardized. It also has night vision, parking by remote control, stop and go as well as adapted cruise control. Comforts inside its interior consist of an eleven inch touch display, Android Auto or Apple CarPlay, heated seats, HVAC system and leather upholstery.
The Aston Martin Vantage does not provide many driver assistance features, despite its sky high price tag. Buyers will be limited to blind area monitoring, a camera with 360 degree view and self-parking. Comforts within the interior consist of en eight inch touch display, Bluetooth, rotary knob, leather upholstery and climate control, but it lacks Apple CarPlay or Android Auto.
Performance
Those that go all out and purchase the Aston Martin Vantage V12 will get an engine that can generate an astounding 690 horsepower with the ability to accelerate from zero to sixty in around 3.4 seconds. Those that purchase the Porsche Taycan Turbo S will get an engine that can generate 750 horsepower, with the ability to accelerate from zero to sixty in just 2.4 seconds.
The Bottom Line
While the Aston Martin Vantage is a great looking car that has been made famous by the James Bond films, it fails to live up to the hype. It has a smaller touch display, no Apple CarPlay or Android Auto and seats less than half the passengers as the Porsche Taycan, has inferior horsepower and acceleration, and you’ll certainly pay more at the gas pump thanks to its inferior fuel efficiency. And this combined with its lack of a manual option makes the Porsche Taycan the winner.
