Aston Martin has unveiled its most powerful flagship model in the brand’s storied 111-year history with the return of its most legendary nameplate: Vanquish..
A technical masterpiece befitting a true class leader, Vanquish sits at the pinnacle of Aston Martin’s fabled front-engined sports car range. Showcasing exceptional in-house engineering ability, a new legend extends this dynastic bloodline in magnificent style.
Highlights include a world-class V12 engine of monumental potency, a bespoke chassis bristling with state-of-the-art dynamics technology, carbon fibre bodywork of unmatched presence and an interior which sets new standards of modern luxury. With production limited to under 1000 examples a year, this icon will continue to reign in ultra-luxury exclusivity.
Powered by a new 5.2-litre Twin-Turbo V12 producing an astonishing 835PS and 1000Nm of torque, Vanquish achieves a new benchmark for supercar performance with immense in-gear acceleration and a top speed of 214mph – the highest top speed of an Aston Martin series production car to date. Only by refining every stage of the internal combustion process has this unprecedented performance and efficiency been achieved, while ensuring this magnificent V12 meets the latest emissions legislation across global markets.

Powered by a new 5.2-litre Twin-Turbo V12 producing an astonishing 835PS and 1000Nm of torque, the new V12 engine is unmatched. So much so that in fact, this engine delivers the highest specific power output ever from an Aston Martin V12 engine at 160PS/Litre. As such the 2024 Vanquish sits at the summit of a relentless evolution, one which has seen the power and torque outputs of Aston Martin’s V12 flagship model almost double since the introduction of the first Project Vantage concept back in 1998.
Vanquish achieves a new benchmark for supercar performance as well with immense in-gear acceleration and a top speed of 214mph – the highest top speed of an Aston Martin series production car to date. Only by refining every stage of the internal combustion process has this unprecedented performance and efficiency been achieved, while ensuring this magnificent V12 meets the latest emissions legislation across global markets.
With its chassis meticulously honed to deliver unprecedented dynamic bandwidth, Vanquish features harness the processing power of the most sophisticated powertrain, chassis and braking control systems available to deliver a unique combination of character and capability which fuses the effortless mile-eating comfort of a continent-crushing GT with the precision, exploitability and immersive, entertaining driving experience of a supercar.

Like its acclaimed stablemates, DB12 and Vantage, Vanquish is built around a bonded aluminium body structure with double wishbone front suspension and multi-link rear suspension. Enhanced to deliver more focused and engaging dynamics, additional underbody stiffening components provide a 75% increase in lateral stiffness over Aston Martin’s previous flagship, the DBS 770 Ultimate.
With an all-new surface language, Vanquish expresses contemporary elegance through its toned physique, broad stance and fluid curves. The key to achieving such compelling presence is an increased wheelbase; the distance between the A Pillar and the front axle being extended by +80mm to lengthen the bonnet for a rakish and indulgent profile.
By amplifying the front-engined proportions Vanquish expresses a fabulous sense of speed and power, its teardrop form capturing the immense flow of propulsion from front to rear. It also draws from Aston Martin’s deep connection with motorsport, the design team taking inspiration from iconic Aston Martins of the past and present. Vanquish receives an all-new front bumper, fender and grille design, delivering a more assertive design character and greater road presence. The traditional vaned grille is standardised and the aperture enlarged, offering a 13% increase in surface area over DBS 770 Ultimate to aid cooling for the 835PS engine. New outer bumper vents channel air around the nose, channelling cool air into the front wheel arches to assist with brake cooling.
Inside the car craftmanship and precision is the core theme running through the Vanquish interior. Designed purposefully as a 2 seat flagship, Vanquish’s interior is focused on delivering enjoyment to the driver and sharing the visceral experience with just one other.
Building upon the new interior architecture that has taken such a leap forward in all Aston Martin’s next generation sports cars, Vanquish has received a bespoke interior layout. The centre console has been lowered into a horizontal plane for a greater feeling of clarity, space and luxury.
Vanquish interior also utilises a blend of materials to create sections with bold visible lines to boost the feeling of luxury and quality. Regardless of jewellery pack specification, a subtle bright chrome horizon line replaces a traditional stitch line across the dashboard.
In an era of technology where touchscreens can dominate the interior, Vanquish continues to blend technology with tactile surfaces that retain the feeling of luxury and are intuitive to use while driving. To this end, all key driver controls are centrally mounted, keeping the frequently used functions within easy reach reinforcing the clarity and simplicity of a driver-focused interior.
