Aston Martin: The Iconic Vanquish Supercar Returns

Legendary carmaker Aston Martin announces the return of an icon.

In September 2024, luxury automaker Aston Martin announced the return of its most legendary nameplate: Vanquish.

Vanquish is the pinnacle of Aston Martin’s fabled front-engined sports car range. Highlights include a new V12 engine of a bespoke chassis bristling with state-of-the-art technology, carbon fiber bodywork and an interior which sets new standards of modern luxury. To make the car even more exclusive, Aston Martin says they will limit production to under 1000 vehicles a year.

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 a top speed of 345kph (214 mph) – the highest top speed of an Aston Martin series production car ever.

Aston Martin has committed to continuing its 25-year dynasty of V12-engined car because it believes that’s what its customers want. With a class leading 835PS and 1000Nm of torque the new V12 engine is unmatched when compared to other luxury “sport” cars.

Hardware upgrades for the new V12 engine include a strengthened cylinder block and conrods, redesigned cylinder heads incorporating reprofiled camshafts, plus new intake and exhaust ports. In addition, new higher speed, reduced inertia turbochargers deliver increased performance and throttle response.

Such a formidable powerplant needs a tough chassis. Like its acclaimed cousins, the DB12 and Vantage, Vanquish is built around a bonded aluminium body structure with double wishbone front suspension and multi-link rear suspension.

One of the most dramatic elements of the design is the Panoramic glass roof. A first for an Aston Martin V12, Vanquish is fitted with this feature as standard. The Vanquish is available in Singapore from SGD 2.2 million onwards (before COE and options).
