Finally an Aston with a good looking interior. No more amoeba-blob center stack, thankfully. Great long hood-short deck proportions and flowing line from headlamp to quarters. Looks like the steering wheel switchgear still comes from the MB parts bin. Nice to see a "new 5.2 V12" engine developed. ICE will be around for a long time.

02 September 2024, Venice, Italy: With the introduction of the most potent flagship in its 111-year history, Aston Martin is proud to announce 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.

I saw video review on it. It has a really long front end—and a long car overall. But I like it.

Shmee posted a video of a silver one with body colored back end and it looked way better.

Aston crushing it with the new designs. I’m ready to buy one at 60% off in 3 years (and then cry myself to sleep in year 4 when it loses another $40k)

Really crap photos from OP.

Absolutely stunning. Videos on a home cinema screen will convey what it looks like way better than photos on a phone. Ask me how I know. Incredible.

Out of my price bracket. Lawrence is getting smart with pricing and production numbers with all the Ferrari hires. Goldenz will never own one. Likely me as well sadly.

Looks like a Camero with an elongated nose and a tacked-on Aston grille

Watch the video. If you disagree. Kill youself now as you have no taste.

The OP photos are really bad.

They keep messing with this car, some bits are better, some are worse. It's still not beating the 2005 V8 Vantage. Yes, the new cars have more presence, but they're less Aston for it IMO.

Lol. Enjoy your day dude.

[Humdizzle]

i still prefer the original 2005 vanquish.

this new one is just far too busy.

[TXSTYLE]

Magnificent no doubt!

Personaly, I would color match that rear carbon fiber shield. It is not flattering as is.

[xander_g]

I dig it, which isn't something I can say about what aston has been doing lately.

[Mingwan]

I like it.

Not a fan of the wheels, though. Should I be killing myself now?

No. Just chop off a foot. That’ll be fine.

[M5Rick]

Good looker apart from the black rear and the AM staccato badge has to go.

[wizardofOz]

The black rear reminds me of the Nissan NISMO Z.

I played with the config option. It's a bit of a janky web interface, but it's very pretty now....
