Aston Martin Türkiye: A Unique Day Featuring Formula 1 Excitement and Vantage Performance

Aston Martin Türkiye brought the excitement of the Brazilian Grand Prix to one of Istanbul’s most exclusive neighborhoods, Yeniköy, with a special event held at its Bosphorus-side showroom. On a day when Formula 1 passion peaked, guests not only followed the thrilling performance of the Aston Martin Aramco Formula 1 Team on a large screen but also had the chance to get up close with the Aston Martin Vantage, a car that embodies the brand’s pure driving philosophy, and experience driving it with the Bosphorus view.

Throughout the event, both racing excitement and the elegance of Aston Martin culture came together. Guests experienced the Vantage, a modern representation of the brand’s 111-year heritage, through its special edition presented in the launch color “Cosmopolitan Yellow.” The Yeniköy showroom reflected the world of the brand with its F1-themed atmosphere, race-inspired presentation details, and the powerful silhouette of the Vantage.

The new Aston Martin Vantage redefines pure driving passion as a modern interpretation of the brand’s “Engineered for Real Drivers” philosophy. As the most powerful Vantage in Aston Martin’s history, it produces 665 PS of power and 800 Nm of torque with its 4.0-liter V8 Twin Turbo engine. With an ideal 50:50 weight distribution, active driving dynamics, and an 8-speed ZF automatic transmission, it delivers a balanced, agile, and confident driving experience in every maneuver.

During test drives along the Bosphorus, participants directly felt the car’s precision on the road, responsive handling, and engineering excellence thanks to the Vantage’s Bilstein DTX adaptive suspension system, electronic rear differential (E-Diff), and Michelin Pilot Sport S5 tires.

The Vantage also stands out with its modernized athletic design. Its body is 30 mm wider, the front grille enlarged by 38%, and equipped with new Matrix LED headlights, giving it a stronger, more agile, and dynamic character. Inside, handcrafted Bridge of Weir leather details, a 15-speaker Bowers & Wilkins audio system, and Aston Martin’s new-generation infotainment system immerse guests in the brand’s blend of luxury and technology.

Representing Aston Martin’s DNA that extends from the racetrack to the road, the Vantage creates an instinctive connection with its driver at every kilometer. At this exclusive evening in Yeniköy, the Vantage stood out not just as a car but as a living symbol of Aston Martin’s culture of excellence, elegance, and driving passion.

Melisa Demirkol, Marketing Manager of Aston Martin Türkiye, shared her thoughts on the event:

“We believe that the passion for Aston Martin and our brand culture is a way of life. It was a great pleasure for us to bring this culture to life and share it with our guests on this special evening.”

Mehmet Özgür Konuk, General Manager of Aston Martin Türkiye, commented:

“The Vantage represents not only Aston Martin’s pure driving character but also our growth potential in the Turkish market. With its power, design, and comfort for daily use, this model appeals to a wide customer base, and we believe it will create significant momentum in our sales in the upcoming period. It was a great pleasure to come together with both our existing customers and Aston Martin enthusiasts on this special evening.”

Throughout the event, the sounds of engines, racing excitement, and the timeless lines of the Vantage created a unique atmosphere that reflected the essence of the brand. Participants not only watched a race but also experienced Aston Martin’s craftsmanship, engineering excellence, and iconic driving experience with the Bosphorus view.

The Aston Martin Vantage strengthens the brand’s claim in the ultra-luxury sports car segment, perfectly combining performance, aesthetics, and emotion.
