The Vanquish 2025 brings a new platform, an all-new V-12 engine, and a redesigned body while maintaining some traditional elements. With a starting price of $429,000, the model will begin deliveries in the United States later this year, positioning itself as a more expensive and powerful option compared to the DB12 and Vantage.
This new Vanquish is notable for its lack of modern technologies like hybrid assistance, all-wheel drive, and electric turbochargers. Instead, it is equipped with a newly designed V-12 engine, with a displacement of 5.2 liters and producing 824 horsepower and 738 lb-ft of torque.
Although it maintains a broad rev range, the engine is described as a completely new creation, with no components carried over from the previous model.
The new Aston Martin model’s transmission also includes a carbon fiber driveshaft and an eight-speed transaxle mounted at the rear, along with an electronically controlled rear differential.
The car also offers options for stainless steel or titanium exhaust systems and comes standard with Pirelli P Zero tires and carbon-ceramic brakes. The chassis features Bilstein DTX dampers and an adjustable traction control system.
The Vanquish’s design includes a new body with carbon fiber panels, aiming for a more imposing appearance than other Aston Martin GTs. The wheelbase has been increased by 3.1 inches, and the car features a larger grille for better engine cooling and matrix LED headlights.
The interior shares the DB12’s design philosophy and includes physical controls for important functions, a standard fixed glass roof, and an optional carbon fiber roof.
With a high price and a design focused on pure driving experience, the Vanquish is seen as the “beating heart” of the Aston Martin lineup.
