2025 (25) | Aston Martin Vanquish V12 (VAT Q)

The third-generation Aston Martin Vanquish marks a bold return to form for Aston Martin’s flagship grand tourer, defining the modern era of British performance with an uncompromising blend of power, luxury, and craftsmanship. Powered by a re-engineered 5.2-litre twin-turbocharged V12, it produces 824 bhp and 1,000 Nm of torque, available from 2,500 rpm through to 5,000 rpm. Paired with an eight-speed automatic ZF transmission driving the rear wheels, the Vanquish accelerates from 0–62 mph in 3.3 seconds and reaches a top speed of 214 mph.

Beneath its sculpted bodywork, the Vanquish is built on Aston Martin’s advanced bonded-aluminium platform, shared with the DB12 and Vantage but developed further to deliver greater stiffness and refinement. At a dry weight of 1,774 kg, it strikes a perfect balance between precision handling and GT comfort, featuring Bilstein DTX adaptive dampers, an electronic rear differential, and carbon-ceramic brakes for exceptional control. Inside, the two-seat cabin showcases the marque’s signature craftsmanship, combining cutting-edge digital technology with bespoke materials and meticulous attention to detail. Limited to fewer than 1,000 units per year, the new Vanquish stands as a rare and defining expression of Aston Martin’s next generation of V12 grand touring excellence.
