Aston Martin has reintroduced the Vanquish, a legendary nameplate, with a new halo model that promises an exceptional blend of refined luxury, supercar-level performance, and precise dynamics. With fewer than 1,000 units set to be produced annually, this Vanquish is set to be one of the most exclusive models in the brand’s history.
Power and Performance
Under the hood, the Vanquish is powered by a 5.2-liter twin-turbo V12 engine that delivers an astounding 824 hp (614 kW / 835 PS) and 737 lb-ft (1,000 Nm) of torque. This power is channeled to the rear wheels through an eight-speed automatic transmission and an electronic limited-slip differential, allowing the Vanquish to accelerate from 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) in just 3.2 seconds. It can reach a top speed of 214 mph (344 km/h), making it the fastest series production Aston Martin ever.
Advanced Engineering
The Vanquish is built on a bonded aluminum body structure, which provides a 75% increase in lateral stiffness compared to the DBS 770 Ultimate. The wheelbase has been extended by 3.1 inches (80 mm), and the car features an upgraded suspension system with Bilstein DTX dampers, offering a versatile driving experience that can switch between comfort and sportiness at the driver’s discretion.
Handling and Braking
For enhanced handling, the Vanquish is equipped with thicker anti-roll bars, a recalibrated electric power steering system, and a state-of-the-art electronic stability control system. This system uses advanced algorithms to predict optimal grip levels and provide smooth, unobtrusive interventions when needed. The car also features a carbon-ceramic braking system with 16.1-inch (410 mm) front discs and 14.2-inch (360 mm) rear discs, ensuring exceptional braking performance and reduced fade even at high temperatures.
Striking Design
The Vanquish’s design is a modern interpretation of classic Aston Martin aesthetics. The front end features a wide grille flanked by Matrix LED headlights and a prominent splitter, while the sculpted hood incorporates F1-inspired “thermos louvres” for cooling. The carbon fiber bodywork flows seamlessly along the sides, with striking side strakes and flush-mounted door handles adding to its aerodynamic profile. At the rear, the Vanquish features a “Kamm Tail” design with seven LED “light blades,” a large diffuser, and a stainless steel four-tailpipe exhaust system. An optional titanium exhaust is available, reducing the car’s weight by 23 lbs (10.5 kg).
Luxurious Interior
Inside, the Vanquish is a strict two-seater, offering a cabin that echoes the design of the Vantage and DB12. The interior features a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, a 10.25-inch infotainment system, and 16-way power-adjustable front seats. The seats are upholstered in a combination of Alcantara and semi-aniline leather, and the interior is complemented by a 15-speaker Bowers & Wilkins audio system and optional wood trim.
