Aston Martin Vanquish Makes a Stunning Comeback with 824bhp V12 Power
Aston Martin has revived the Vanquish, reintroducing it as a new flagship model after a six-year hiatus. This limited production vehicle, with fewer than 1,000 units scheduled annually, marks a significant milestone in the brand’s illustrious 111-year history.
Design and Exterior Features
The 2025 Vanquish seamlessly blends classic Aston Martin aesthetics with modern design elements. The front of the car features a prominent wide grille, Matrix LED headlights, and a pronounced splitter. Notably, the hood is equipped with F1-inspired “thermos louvres” to aid cooling. The side profile showcases sleek carbon fiber bodywork, flush-mounted door handles, and striking 21-inch forged alloy wheels wrapped in Pirelli P Zero tyres. The rear of the Vanquish is defined by its “Kamm Tail,” seven LED light blades, a substantial diffuser, and a distinctive stainless steel four-tailpipe exhaust system, with an optional titanium exhaust available for further weight reduction.
Engine and Performance
Under the hood, the Vanquish is powered by a formidable twin-turbo 5.2-litre V12 engine, producing an impressive 823 bhp and 1,000 Nm of torque. This powerhouse engine is paired with a rear-mounted eight-speed automatic gearbox, mirroring the setup of the previous DBS Superleggera. The Vanquish also features an electronically controlled limited-slip differential and a new Boost Reserve function. With these specifications, the Vanquish can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.2 seconds and achieve a top speed of 344 km/h, making it the fastest series production car in Aston Martin’s history.
Handling and Chassis
The Vanquish’s handling is enhanced by thicker anti-roll bars, a recalibrated electric power steering system, and an advanced electronic stability control system that uses sophisticated algorithms to predict grip levels and manage vehicle stability. The braking system comprises 410 mm carbon ceramic discs at the front and 360 mm discs at the rear, offering superior braking performance and reduced fade under high temperatures.
The vehicle features a bonded and extruded aluminum monocoque chassis, complemented by extensive carbon fiber bodywork, distinguishing it from models like the DB12 and Vantage. With a dry weight of 3,911 pounds (around 1773 kgs), the Vanquish’s weight surpasses 4,000 (1814 kgs) pounds when fluids are included. It comes equipped with bespoke Pirelli P-Zero tyres, sized 275/35 at the front and 325/30 at the rear, and features standard forged wheels and carbon-ceramic brakes to manage unsprung weight.
Interior and Features
Inside, the Vanquish offers a luxurious two-seater cabin that echoes the design of the Vantage and DB12. The interior includes a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster and a 10.25-inch infotainment system. Comfort is provided by 16-way power front seats upholstered in a blend of Alcantara and semi-aniline leather. Additionally, the Vanquish features a 15-speaker Bowers & Wilkins audio system and optional wood trim.
Pricing and Availability
The Vanquish is priced starting at $420,000 (approximately ₹3.5 crore before taxes) and will be limited to just 1,000 units per year. This exclusivity underscores the vehicle’s status as a high-performance flagship in Aston Martin’s lineup.
