The new Aston Martin Vanquish marks the return of one of the most iconic names in the brand’s history, reimagined as a flagship V12 grand tourer for a new era. Positioned above the DB12 and built in limited numbers, the Vanquish now sits at the very top of Aston Martin’s core road car range. In a market rapidly shifting towards downsized engines and electrification, it stands out as a bold statement of intent and a rare commitment to the traditional front-engined V12 GT formula.

At its heart is Aston Martin’s latest 5.2-litre twin-turbocharged V12, producing 824 bhp, making this the most powerful series-production Aston Martin ever built. Performance is immense, with 0–62 mph in 3.3 seconds and a top speed of 214 mph, but more importantly it delivers the kind of effortless, long-distance performance and sense of occasion that defines a true Vanquish. Power is sent to the rear wheels via an eight-speed ZF automatic gearbox and an electronic rear differential, giving it both the refinement of a luxury GT and the dynamic ability expected of a modern supercar.

Beyond the numbers, what makes the new Vanquish particularly significant is its place in Aston Martin’s modern story. It represents the brand’s last and most advanced V12-powered grand tourer, and a clear successor to the much-loved Vanquish models of the past. For collectors and enthusiasts alike, it offers a rare opportunity to own a flagship Aston Martin at a time when large-capacity V12 engines are becoming an endangered species, giving it the makings of a future modern classic from the moment it was launched.
