<\/a><\/p>\nIn many ways, Aston Martin had a clean slate to do as they pleased during the resurrection process, ensuring that the new Vanquish would boast the latest and greatest when it comes to performance, innovation and design\u2014and that they did. Yet, there was also a duty of responsibility to see that the new Vanquish would remain quintessential to its roots. In my opinion, they nailed that too, in what is not an easy balancing act at the best of times.<\/p>\n
Performance & Handling<\/h2>\nV12 Epitomized<\/h3>\n
At the zenith of all the is good about the new 2025 Aston Martin Vanquish, is its remarkable 5.2L twin-turbocharged V12 engine<\/strong> which produces a whopping 823 hp and 738 lb-ft of torque<\/strong>. The power unit redlines at 7,000 rpm and generates peak torque at just 2,500 rpm<\/strong>. Aston Martin has claimed a resulting 0-62 mph time of 3.3 seconds<\/strong>, on the way to a top speed of 214 mph<\/strong>. Highly impressive, if not perhaps a bit overkill, for a grand tourer\u2014but I digress.<\/p>\n Compared to the previously most powerful second-gen Aston Martin Vanquish S, that’s quite a massive jump from its 580 hp, to say the least. I suppose a proper 5-year sabbatical will do that, given the rate at which performance technology moves forward these days. Purists will be pleased to hear that there’s no electric augmentation playing a factor here, given that the impressive specs might suggest something nefarious in concert with the internal combustion unit. Characteristically speaking, there’s still no direct fuel injection system<\/em> either, allowing the new Vanquish to retain its quintessential and unique engine and exhaust note\u2014an optional titanium exhaust system is available for those who desire even more aural delight.<\/p>\n Mated to the V12 is an 8-speed automatic transmission<\/strong> which sends power exclusively to the rear axle. Given its decidedly enormous power output, a sophisticated electronically controlled limited-slip differential is tasked with putting it all down on the pavement in an efficient way. Tire performance is more likely to be the limiting factor when it comes to off-the-line traction, as there’s only so much that street legal tires can accommodate on an 800+ hp missile of a sports car.<\/p>\n At the center of the new 2025 Aston Martin Vanquish’s display of driving dynamism is an adaptive suspension system<\/strong> which provides a number of driving modes suited for every occasion between city cruiser and weekend track warrior. This is complimented by an intricate traction control system which provides various degrees of intervention based on the driver’s preference and selected driving mode.<\/p>\n Carbon ceramic brakes come as standard fare<\/strong> on the new Vanquish, and are responsible for tethering the grand tourer’s not-so-dainty 4,210 lbs athletic frame. Similarly, a set of staggered 21-inch wheels\u2014wrapped in Pirelli P Zero tires\u2014is also part of the base package. Initial test drives noted the new Aston Martin Vanquish’s balanced handling character and thrilling acceleration, though as mentioned earlier, some right-footed discretion is required in order to manage the grip levels of the OEM street tires.<\/p>\n The new 2025 Aston Martin Vanquish retains the unmistakable silhouette which has become an essential component of its identity as an ultra-luxury British grand tourer. Elongated and elegant, the Vanquish measures over 16-feet long<\/strong> bumper-to-bumper despite its 2-door-2-seater configuration\u2014much of which is used up by its twin-turbocharged V12 heart. In appropriate proportions, it’s just as wide, measuring at close to 7-feet across<\/strong>. Overall, these dimensions provide the low-slung coup\u00e9 with an imposing footprint and athletic stance.<\/p>\n Aesthetically, the design language consists of a wonderful blend of sleek minimalism and hints of showmanship. Venting on the front bumper, bonnet and fenders suggest something special lurking within, while adding an aggressive contrast to an otherwise purposefully understated appearance. While its rear haunches certainly boast its performance pedigree, there are no aggressive aero bits\u2014i.e. no large rear wing of any kind\u2014that would undermine the intended philosophy of the Aston Martin Vanquish nameplate. All that being said, the Vanquish can be configured with a plethora of body color options, resulting in an almost endless quantity of permutations in which the car can be customized.<\/p>\n Inside, the car is as lavish and plush as you would expect from a range-topping Aston Martin super grand tourer, with finishes such as cashmere available as an option. The power seats\u2014which are 16-way adjustable\u2014<\/strong>are a perfect hybrid of luxury and sportiness, providing the driver and passenger with a snug, but comfortable fit. Standard materials include semi-aniline leather and faux-suede. Like the exterior, the interior offers a number of options and upgrades to provide customers with more ways to make their Vanquish bespoke and one-of-a-kind.<\/p>\n Extra consideration was given to the car’s everyday usability, and as a result, cargo space is very generous despite the conventional limitations of the Vanquish’s body style. There’s room in the trunk to fit enough luggage for a week-long out-of-town trip, or two sets of golf bags with more to spare. Customers can also option a set of custom-fit luggage<\/strong> in the theme of their car’s spec, which will also help use up the space more efficiently. At the core of the new Vanquish’s infotainment system are two 10.3-inch displays<\/strong> integrated into the front dash. One of the displays serves as a digital gauge cluster, and the second\u2014a centrally located touchscreen display\u2014provides access to the car’s media system, navigation, and more. Other features such as Apple CarPlay and onboard Wi-Fi are also available as standard fare.<\/p>\n There won’t be any issues with the new Aston Martin Vanquish maintaining any reasonable level of exclusivity, given its price and production numbers. The former, which starts at an MSRP of $434,000 USD<\/strong>, does a pretty good job of that on its own. For the 2025 model year, Aston Martin has told us that they will only be producing 1,000 units<\/strong>, with only about a third of those designated for North American shores. Though not officially announced just yet, a future Volante (convertible) variant will likely be released within the next year or so, opening up more options and allocations to those in the market for the<\/em> very peak of British super-grand-touring.<\/p>\n “Living up to its name, and then some, the new 2025 Aston Martin Vanquish returns with an absolute banger, rightfully reclaiming its place once more at the pinnacle of the automaker’s legendary grand touring roster. At the heart of it all, is a remarkable twin-turbocharged V12 engine which is sure to rival other European\/exotic contemporaries in the ultra-luxury segment. Yet, the Vanquish still manages to be greater than the sum of its parts, boasting balanced driving dynamics and checking off many of the “daily driver” boxes.<\/em><\/p>\n Alas, it’s a car that the overwhelming majority of us will have to admire from afar\u2014and even fewer are likely to ever see one in person, given the low production numbers predicated by its sufficiently eye-watering price. But admire we will, because, what a car it is.”\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n “Stunning to look at and wonderful to drive, the Vanquish is everything you’d expect from an Aston Martin grand-touring car and more.”<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\nAdvanced Chassis<\/h3>\n
