Vanquish Returns: Aston Martin’s Most Powerful And Exclusive Supercar Yet
by AutoExpert | 3 September, 2024
Aston Martin is back in the spotlight with the return of the Vanquish, a stunning halo model that blends luxury, performance, and sharp handling. The Vanquish promises exclusivity, with a production of fewer than 1,000 units annually.
A twin-turbo 5.2-liter V12 engine powers the Vanquish, Aston Martin's most powerful flagship ever, delivering 824 horsepower and 737 lb-ft of torque. Paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission, this beast can sprint from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.2 seconds and hit a top speed of 214 mph, making it the fastest production car in the brand's history.
Built on a bonded aluminum chassis that’s 75% stiffer than its predecessor, the Vanquish offers an enhanced driving experience with a longer wheelbase and upgraded Bilstein DTX suspension. It also features thicker anti-roll bars, recalibrated steering, and advanced stability control to keep you firmly in command, while carbon ceramic brakes provide exceptional stopping power.
Design-wise, the Vanquish masterfully combines classic Aston Martin elements with modern flair. The front end sports a wide grille, sleek Matrix LED headlights, and a sculpted hood with F1-inspired louvres. Aerodynamic carbon fiber bodywork, flush-mounted door handles, and 21-inch forged alloy wheels define the profile, while the rear boasts a distinctive “Kamm Tail,” LED “light blades,” and a stainless steel four-tailpipe exhaust system—with an optional titanium upgrade.
Inside, the Vanquish echoes the Vantage and DB12, featuring a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, 16-way power front seats, and premium Alcantara or semi-aniline leather upholstery. A 15-speaker Bowers & Wilkins audio system and optional wood trim complete the luxurious cabin. Pricing remains a mystery, but with first deliveries expected in the fourth quarter, the Vanquish is set to be a rare blend of performance, style, and exclusivity.
