Officially Official: The New Aston Martin Vanquish 12 Attachment(s) Attachment 108201 Officially Official: The New Aston Martin Vanquish Aston Martin is today unveiling a stunning new luxury sports car – the Vanquish. Sitting proudly at the pinnacle of the luxury British car maker’s sports car line-up, this breath-taking new super grand tourer represents the zenith of current Aston Martin design and engineering. Vanquish points to an exciting and confident future for the historic brand. Vanquish is a new Aston Martin featuring the next generation of the renowned VH architecture as well as a significantly upgraded 6.0-litre V12 engine that is considerably more potent than before. The design represents the latest take on Aston Martin’s iconic visual language. Vanquish unquestionably sees the brand continue its enviable tradition of producing some of the most beautiful sports cars in the world. Styling cues such as the elegant new waist, elongated side strakes and LED rear light blades are derived from the One-77 supercar. Unmistakably an Aston Martin, the design shows a clear and coherent lineage from its heritage while providing an equally clear pointer to the luxury car brand’s vibrant future. Closer inspection reveals details such as the stunning new Aero Duct on the rear boot lid. This elegantly devised passive engineering feature, which counteracts lift at the car’s rear when travelling at speed, is a triumph of both design and technical ability. Performance, presence, style and great British craftsmanship – the new Vanquish has all these traits in abundance. Aston Martin Chief Executive Officer, Dr Ulrich Bez said: “Vanquish is the ultimate expression of Aston Martin design ethos, engineering innovation and technical ability. It offers luxurious, continent-crossing capability and pure driving excitement without compromise. “Bearing the same name as the iconic V12 Vanquish that did so much to cement Aston Martin’s reputation as a maker of great GT cars in the modern era, I believe the car unveiled today once again puts this great British brand at the top of its class. “The new Vanquish mixes beautiful design with impressive technology such as the superb new infotainment system. This is the latest incarnation of everything we know, informed and developed from One-77. It is the ultimate Super Grand Tourer – confident and assured – and is the newest representation of Power, Beauty and Soul.” As happy on the streets of a bustling city as it is carving through the countryside or long distance motorway touring, the Vanquish offers a thoroughbred British luxury sports car that’s also suited to everyday use. Powered by a significantly revised naturally aspirated 6.0-litre V12 petrol engine mated to the proven Touchtronic 2 six-speed automatic gearbox, the new car offers suitably impressive performance figures. The V12’s power peak of 565 bhp (573 PS) makes it Aston Martin’s most potent production model yet, outmuscled only by the strictly limited edition £1.2m One-77 supercar. The raw statistics speak for themselves: 573 PS at 6,750 rpm, 620 Nm of torque at 5,500 rpm, 0-62 mph in 4.1 seconds and a top speed of 183 mph place the Vanquish firmly into supercar territory. Yet the brand’s team of engineers have been working towards economy and emissions improvements, too. The latest engineering methods, innovative technologies and typically understated classic British design come together to make the muscular new Vanquish a true super GT. For instance, each body panel on the car is constructed from carbon fibre because of its high strength-to-weight ratio and flexibility of form. Meanwhile torsional rigidity is improved by more than 25%. Practical improvements such as a newly designed and significantly more spacious cabin and a boot that, at 368 litres, is more than 60% larger than that of the DBS, ensure the new Vanquish can carry sufficient luggage for even the most ambitious grand tourist. Designed and hand-built at Aston Martin’s global headquarters at Gaydon in Warwickshire the new Vanquish, available as a 2+2 or 2+0, sits atop a broad line-up of world-class sports cars including the exquisite DB9, sporty V8 Vantage and luxurious four-door Rapide. Dr Bez said: “The Aston Martin range is stronger now than at any time in our 99-year history. The new Vanquish represents the perfect way to signal the beginning of our centenary celebrations next year.” Priced from £189,995 RRP first deliveries of the new sports car are expected to begin in the UK and Continental Europe late in 2012.

^only one on the planet? |
The New Vanquish looks gorgeous. Im a big DBS fan but this new Vanquish makes the DBS look old. Im slowly falling in love =D:wow2: |
Looks goddamn good in gray. |
I love the grey on red one, looks perfect! They did a great job with the promo photos as well. |
Not bad! |
I want one..NOW |
Wow. I retract me previous comment. This thing looks GOOOD! |
Love it!!! |
That is one handsome looking car!!! |
The silver one is killing me!!!! |
It looks great! :drool: I prefer it in silver, can't wait to see it in real life. |
LOVE IT!!!!!!! Sexiest car NEW car I've seen in a LONG time. |
Love at first sight |
That thing is a beauty, but what were they thinking when they chose the steering wheel, looks so... cheap. |

Gray is more like it. However, the back end looks a bit like an Evora and the front has a hint of Mansory. I'm sure that in the flesh it will be breath taking though. It is an Aston Martin after all. Any one think that the release of this car will cause DBS prices to come down? |
Nice cars but IMO all AMs are starting to look the same. They need to come with some new designs and not rely as much on stretching a single platform. |
The interior of that car is gorgeous. AM is hard to beat in the style department. I didn't want to love this car. I didn't want to start the process of configuring another AM but it's getting more difficult to resist. Fortunately, they haven't compelled me with a manual trans to make it really difficult. It will be interesting to see if a Volante follows. |
damn,... it got me...really..I know I will(must) get this car in my life! Just what AM is : Power,Beauty,Soul Perfect! |

I want one in RED!! |
It does looks great! Amazing! |
A bit too bulky but I like it. |
i think they all look the same too, its just that this one looks the best! |
Nice job, AM! That's better than the previous Vanquish! I wonder if 007 would drive this one? Most likely though!!! |
looks great in grey! glad to see some changes on the interior too |
|
Stunning |
Amazing car, amazing design, I almost feel I like it more than One-77, but they should make it somewhat more powerful. |
Good looking car for sure. |
OMG! I love it! |
Willing to say this will be the best looking car on the market, and I'm usually not a huge AM guy. |
oh wow! I too retract my previous comments. I love it! Really great looking car. |
Win. Great job Aston Martin. Looks fantastic!! Can't wait to see one in person. |
Wow, stunning. Seriously stunning. Not sure how I missed this thread yesterday. No mention in the press release about coming to the US, though. Hopefully they won't exclude us. *That* would be a huge disappointment. |
