The New Aston Martin Vanquish: A Supercar Icon Reborn

Aston Martin has officially unveiled the return of one of its most legendary models, the Vanquish. The new Vanquish is a technical marvel that represents the pinnacle of Aston Martin's engineering and design prowess. The Vanquish makes a strong statement with a bold new V12 engine, cutting-edge technology, and a design language that blends modern aesthetics with iconic cues from the past.

Engine and Performance

At the heart of the new Vanquish is a 5.2-liter Twin-Turbo V12 engine delivering 835PS (824 horsepower) and 1000Nm of torque. Capable of reaching a top speed of 214 mph, the Vanquish now holds the title of the Aston Martin series production car with the highest top speed.

The engine is paired with an 8-speed ZF automatic gearbox and features an Electronic Rear Differential (e-diff). This should provide a seamless driving experience that combines the thrilling dynamics of a supercar with the comfort expected from a grand tourer.

The e-diff enhances the car's agility at low speeds and stability at high speeds, ensuring maximum control and precision in various driving conditions. This combination of power and control should make the Vanquish one of the most exciting and capable V12 sports cars on the market.

The chassis of the new Vanquish was designed to match the extraordinary power of its engine. The car's bonded aluminum structure offers increased rigidity and stability, with an 80mm increase in wheelbase compared to previous models. The added wheelbase improves handling and gives the car a more striking silhouette, emphasizing its long hood and sleek proportions.

The Vanquish is equipped with Bilstein DTX adaptive dampers, which offer a wide range of dynamic responses depending on the driving mode. In GT mode, the Vanquish delivers a compliant and comfortable ride, perfect for long-distance cruising.

However, when the driver selects Sport or Sport+ mode, the car transforms, with tighter body control and more responsive handling, making the most of its supercar potential. With its enhanced suspension and larger anti-roll bars, the Vanquish offers pinpoint handling, ensuring drivers feel connected to the road.

Exterior

Visually, the new Aston Martin Vanquish is a stunning example of modern automotive design. Its exterior blends aerodynamic efficiency with the elegance for which Aston Martin is known. The car features a sleek, teardrop-shaped body that channels airflow smoothly from the front to the rear, reducing drag and enhancing high-speed stability.

One of the most notable design elements is the Kamm Tail at the rear, which draws inspiration from Aston Martin's racing heritage and reduces aerodynamic drag.

The full-length panoramic glass roof is a standout (standard) feature. New Matrix LED headlights with integrated daytime running lights introduce a fresh lighting signature for Aston Martin, ensuring the Vanquish is as visually striking at night as it is during the day.

Interior

Inside, the Vanquish combines driver-focused design with the highest levels of luxury. The cabin is fitted with Sports Plus seats as standard, and a low seating position gives the driver a true supercar feel. Buyers who desire something more interesting can choose the carbon fiber Performance Seat option.

The layout is clean and intuitive, with all key controls within easy reach. A 10.25-inch TFT display provides all essential driving information, while the Pure Black infotainment touchscreen integrates climate control, navigation, and entertainment systems.

Aston Martin's commitment to craftsmanship is evident in every detail, from the hand-stitched leather upholstery to the precisely machined metal controls. The car has a 15-speaker Bowers & Wilkins sound system, delivering an immersive audio experience that matches the car's dynamic performance.

The Vanquish will be produced in limited numbers, with fewer than 1,000 units per year. Aston Martin's Q by Aston Martin personalization service allows seemingly endless customization options.
