H&L’S AUTO PROFILE

Sitting proudly at the pinnacle of the luxury British car maker’s sports car

line-up, this breath-taking new super grand tourer represents the zenith

of current Aston Martin design and engineering. Vanquish, is the next

generation of the renowned Aston Martin architecture.

The design represents the latest take on Aston Martin’s iconic visual

language. Vanquish is an evolution, its lean and muscular forms signifying

the extensive use of carbon fibre. Each body panel on the car is constructed

from carbon fibre because of its high strength-to-weight ratio and

exceptional flexibility of form. At standstill or at speed the car commands

respect and admiration, its flowing forms hand-sculpted in clay before

being translated into perfectly painted hi-tech carbon fibre.

Powered by a significantly revised naturally aspirated 6.0-litre V12 petrol

engine mated to the proven Touchtronic 2 six-speed automatic gearbox, the

new car offers suitably impressive performance figures. The V12’s power

peak of 565 bhp (573 PS) makes it Aston Martin’s most potent production

model yet, outmuscled only by the strictly limited edition One-77 supercar.

The raw statistics speak for themselves: 573 PS at 6,750 rpm, 457 lb ft of

torque at 5,500 rpm, 0-62 mph in 4.1 seconds and a top speed of 183 mph

place the Vanquish firmly into supercar territory.

Unmistakably an Aston Martin, the design shows a clear and coherent

lineage from its heritage while providing an equally clear pointer to the

luxury car brand’s vibrant future. Closer inspection reveals details such as

the stunning new Aero Duct on the rear boot lid. This elegantly devised

passive engineering feature, which counteracts lift at the car’s rear when

travelling at speed, is a triumph of both design and technical ability.

As happy on the streets of a bustling city as it is carving through the

countryside or long distance motorway touring, the Vanquish offers a

thoroughbred British luxury sports car that’s also suited to everyday use.

Priced from $296,039 first deliveries of the new sports car are expected to

begin in early 2013.
