Revealed in 2001, the Vanquish became the new flagship model for the world-renowned Aston Martin. This time, however, it combined high-end technology with the classic power and beauty of the former Aston Martins. It even put James Bond back in the seat of an Aston for the first time since the mid-60’s in the DB5.
Suited up with technologies adapted from the Formula One racing series, an advanced computer not only provides super-luxurious commodities on the inside, but super-performance on the outside. With the main body structure being composed of carbon-fiber, extruded aluminum and composite materials and new Brembo anti-lock brakes, the Vanquish is not only light, but it also has extreme stopping power.
With its swift steering, huge grip in corners, strong suspension, wonderful engine noise and, of course, its beautiful styling, the Vanquish is undoubtedly one of the world’s most premiere GTs.
