WITH OVER 600 KW AND 1,000 NM, THIS BRITISH BRUTE IS HERE TO VANQUISH THEM ALL.
Aston Martin is thrilled to reintroduce its legendary Vanquish, now the most powerful flagship in the brand’s 111-year history. As a technical marvel, Vanquish leads the way at the pinnacle of Aston Martin's iconic front-engine sports car lineup. This new generation showcases the brand’s exceptional engineering prowess, extending the legacy of the Vanquish with a stunning, modern iteration. Key features include a high-performance V12 engine, a bespoke chassis loaded with cutting-edge dynamics technology, lightweight carbon fibre bodywork, and an interior that redefines contemporary luxury. With production capped at fewer than 1,000 units per year, this ultra-exclusive model will reign supreme in the world of luxury performance. The Vanquish is powered by a 5.2-litre Twin-Turbo V12 that produces a jaw-dropping 614 kW (835 hp) and 1,000 Nm of torque. Capable of reaching a top speed of 345 km/h, the fastest of any Aston Martin series production car, the Vanquish sets a new benchmark for supercar performance. Its monumental in-gear acceleration and top-tier speed are achieved through precise refinements in the combustion process, allowing this V12 to meet global emissions standards while delivering unparalleled performance. The chassis is finely tuned to provide an extraordinary dynamic range, combining the comfort of a grand tourer with the sharpness and agility of a supercar. State-of-the-art powertrain, chassis, and braking systems work together to create an exhilarating yet controlled driving experience, blending long-distance comfort with sheer driving thrills.
“With Vanquish, we have crowned Aston Martin’s next-generation sports car lineup. This model is a true halo for the brand, exemplifying our mission to craft the most potent, beautiful, and exciting cars in the ultra-luxury sports car segment. Vanquish stands as the ultimate Aston Martin, blending extraordinary performance, luxury, and style for a new generation of enthusiasts,” says Aston Martin Executive Chairman Lawrence Stroll. The V12 engine benefits from a strengthened cylinder block and conrods, reengineered cylinder heads with reshaped camshafts, and optimized intake and exhaust ports. Improvements like repositioned spark plugs and higher-flow fuel injectors ensure class-leading performance and efficiency. Turbochargers with a 15% higher maximum speed improve performance and throttle response, while the Boost Reserve function ensures lightning-fast power delivery, ideal for overtaking or spirited driving. For the first time in a front-engined Aston Martin V12, the Vanquish pairs a ZF 8-speed automatic transmission with an electronic rear limited-slip differential (e-diff), enhancing control and performance. “A state-of-the-art V12 was the only option for our new flagship. Our engineers completely revamped the 5.2-litre Twin-Turbo V12, from block to cylinder head, to meet ambitious power, driveability, and emissions targets. The result is a masterpiece of modern engineering, delivering class-leading performance,” adds Aston Martin Chief Technical Officer Roberto Fedeli.
Aston Martin’s Director of Vehicle Performance, Simon Newton, said: “Vanquish brings another dimension to the revitalised Aston Martin range. The new V12 engine is a larger-than-life character, with immense torque from just above idle combined with a truly ferocious top-end. It really is an extraordinary engine. This sense of boundless propulsion had to be matched by an equal level of control and finesse; something we have achieved by further exploring the tremendous scope of the new Bilstein DTX adaptive dampers, e-diff and latest generation electronics. We’ve also worked closely with Pirelli, developing a bespoke tyre tailored specifically to Vanquish. The resulting blend of dynamic precision, epic performance and luxurious refinement is uniquely special, with a bandwidth that sets a new standard for the marques halo model and is worthy of the Vanquish name”.Take a look at the YouTube video from the recent launch of this stunning slice of British V12 awesomeness that took place in Venice.
