The ‘Vanquish’ name is back at Aston Martin, and someone clearly decided that simply body-kitting a DB12 and winding up the turbo boost wasn’t enough. Good call.
The new Vanquish is a very different machine: with an extra 80mm in the wheelbase purely for beauty’s sake, an 835hp bi-turbo V12 rubbing Ferrari’s nose in it, and a new carbon-skinned body that – for once – looks noticeably different to other Aston Martins in the range. Heck, you’re paying north of £300,000 for one of these. That’s the sort of bespoke treatment you expect.
Top Gear Magazine’s Ollie Kew is here to walk you round the exterior details, interior features and then ask the big question: on first impression, has Aston built a better V12 super-GT than the Italians?
