Aston Martin Vanquish
Aston Martin's greatest engine
Aston Martin's greatest car had to have their greatest engine. Introducing the New AM11 Gen4 V12 - the most powerful production engine in Aston Martin history. 573 PS. 620 Nm of torque. 0-62mph in 4.1 secs. Vanquish has the greatest performance numbers ever reached in an Aston Martin, it’s not a Grand Tourer, it’s a Super Grand Tourer.
REVOLUTIONARY STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING
Clothing an engine of such immense power required a body of phenomenal rigidity and razor-sharp agility. There was only one material that could be used to achieve this level of performance – aerospace engineered carbon-fibre.
. Every body-panel is constructed from the most advanced carbon available, producing a staggering strength-to-weight ratio and ensuring Vanquish is the pinnacle of a century of engineering expertise.

TECHNOLOGICALLY ADVANCED
Technologically advanced on the outside, Vanquish is as advanced on the inside. An all-new interior includes a state-of-the-art infotainment system enabling efficient and easy control of the cabin environment. Hand-crafted capacitive glass buttons now include illumination and revolutionary ‘haptic feedback’. Vanquish takes driver and passenger usability to new heights.

All new ergonomic interior environment groupings and carbon fibre interior finishes. Contrasting seat accent colours and unique hour-glass stitching.
A million stitches go into every Vanquish, along with 100 years of history.

EPILOUGE
There was one goal: produce the greatest Aston Martin in history. With 100 years of heritage and a lineage featuring some of the most iconic cars of all time, creating a new Aston Martin flagship pushed Aston Martin designers to new heights.
