The original Vanquish is the car that heralded the modern era of Aston Martin and was the corner stone of the company and its current product range. It was a very important car for the British manufacturer and today saw the unveiling of the latest incarnation of that iconic machine. The new Vanquish is a described by Aston Martin Chief Executive, Dr. Ulrich Bez as, "...the ultimate expression of Aston Martin design ethos" and the Gaydon based firm have worked hard to create the ultimate expression of Performance, presence, style and great British craftsmanship.

Power comes from 6.0-litre, V12 engine producing 565 bhp, making it the most powerful production car they have produced with only the very limited edition 1-77 having more grunt. It is a breathtaking, purposeful thing and at £190,000 it sits at the top of the Aston range serving as a fitting signal for the beginning of Aston's centenary next year.
