Differences between 2013 S and Sport Package?
So as the title asks, what exactly are the differences on a 2013 Vantage- between the sports package and the "S" designation?
Even more specifically, a centenary edition Vantage with the Sports Package?
I know in a general sense, it's the same suspension- but is is the same exhaust?
Thanks all!

I have sport pack car. I know suspension & brakes are different. Stiffer shocks, bigger brakes, even lower engine cover is different. besides cosmetic (carbon) & engine additional HP, my car has same suspension & brakes as S car. I heard exhaust is little different too. Hope this help.

The sports pack only changes suspension components. It does not change the exhaust. However, the sport exhaust was a separate option.
According to page 53 of The Definitive Guide to new Gaydon Era Aston Martin (henceforth referred to as "The Book"): "For the 2012.25MY the sports suspension on the standard V8 was fine-tuned to include revised spring, damper, and anti-roll bar rates + stiffer suspension bushings in the upper control arms - in line with the new Vantage S set-up."
But the Vantage S made 10 more horsepower than the standard car (430bhp vs. 420bhp), thanks to intake changes. The Vantage S is essentially a Vantage with the sports pack, sport exhaust, slightly different intake, and some interior changes. Prior to 2012.25, the Vantage S had larger brakes than the standard car, but you're not concerned with those years... after 2012.25, all Vantages got the bigger brakes.

Sports pack plus exhaust = S minus 10hp, interior adornments, and exterior CF (2012.25 and up).
Thanks guys.
