Aston Martin Unveils 'Fastest Ever' V12 Vanquish

Aston Martin has revived its famous Vanquish nameplate with the introduction of a new flagship sports car that is the fastest series production Aston Martin ever built. Originally conceived as a plug-in hybrid with a V8, the final design of the new Vanquish retains the traditional V12 engine that has defined Aston Martin's top models for over two decades. Lawrence Stroll, the company's Executive Chairman, has overseen the development of the car. He said: “With the introduction of Vanquish we have crowned Aston Martin's next-generation sports car portfolio.”. Aston Martin Chief Technical Officer, Roberto Fedeli added that the car, “delivers performance characteristics unmatched by any other car in its category.” . Priced at around £300,000, the new Vanquish will be limited to fewer than 1,000 units per year. At the heart of the new Vanquish is a 5.2-litre twin-turbo V12 engine, producing a staggering 835PS (824bhp) and 1,000Nm of torque. This powertrain enables the car to reach a top speed of 214mph, making it the fastest series production Aston Martin ever built. The new Vanquish is not just about straight-line speed; it has been designed to offer a balanced and engaging driving experience. Inside, the Vanquish's cabin combines the focus of a driver's car with the highest levels of comfort and technology. A panoramic glass roof, standard on the V12 model, enhances the sense of space and light, reinforcing the car's blend of luxury and performance.
