2025 Aston Martin Vanquish debuts as the brand’s most powerful V12 supercar

 KUALA LUMPUR: The 2025 Aston Martin Vanquish has recently made its world premiere in Italy as the brand’s latest flagship supercar. The latest Aston Martin model sets new standards for the British luxury brand and revives the Vanquish name, which was last seen in 2018.

Powering the new Vanquish is Aston Martin’s legendary V12 engine. To be specific, the supercar is equipped with a 5.2-litre V12 twin-turbo engine that is capable of generating a maximum power of 835 PS and a peak torque of 1000 Nm. The power is sent to the rear wheels via an 8-speed automatic transmission paired with an electronic shift-by-wire control system. It enables the supercar to complete the century sprint in 3.2 seconds and clock a top speed of 345 kmph.

With these impressive numbers, the Vanquish becomes the most powerful and quickest Aston Martin ever produced in the brand's 111-year legacy.

The Aston Martin Vanquish rolls on 21-inch forged wheels shod with Pirelli P Zero rubbers. Helping it stop are 410 mm front and 360 mm rear carbon ceramic disc brakes. The vehicle also gets a new Corner Braking 2.0 feature and a new anti-lock braking system.

Offering a smooth riding experience is a double-wishbone front and multilink rear suspension system. These come mated with Bilstein DTX dampers, a thicker undertray, and upgraded anti-roll bars.

The Aston Martin Vanquish looks absolutely stunning with a sleek, aerodynamic silhouette defined by flowing lines. There is a massive grille on the front teamed up with matrix LED headlights and brake ducts. The sculpted bonnet of the supercar features F1-inspired louvers and scoops that keep the V12 cool. 

At the rear, we can see a full-width diffuser, a new stainless steel exhaust system, and vertically stacked LED tail lights forming a distinctive pattern. A darkened panel separates the lighting clusters and houses the Aston Martin badge. Other key highlights include electronically deploying flush-fit door handles, a panoramic glass roof, and frameless door mirrors.

The luxurious interior of the Aston Martin Vanquish is packed with premium materials and cutting-edge technology. It incorporates a driver-focused two-seat layout with a lowered center console for enhanced space. Along with the tactile controls, there lies a bright chrome horizon line across the dashboard emphasizing luxury and quality. The tech goodies include -

• 10.25-inch instrument cluster
• 10.25-inch infotainment powered by the brand’s in-house developed software
• Wireless Apple CarPlay
• 15-speaker Bowers & Wilkins sound system 
• Solid metal drive mode selector
• Sport Plus Seats
• Customizable engine sound via drive modes or a dedicated exhaust button
• Connected-car ecosystem
• Wireless phone charger
• Comprehensive ADAS package

Upon introducing the new Vanquish, Aston Martin Executive Chairman, Lawrence Stroll, said, “With the introduction of Vanquish we have crowned Aston Martin’s next-generation sports car portfolio. A true halo model in every respect, Vanquish makes an emphatic statement. One that further delivers on our mission to create the most potent, most beautiful, and most exciting cars in the ultra-luxury sports car market. As such Vanquish is the truest of Aston Martins. Immaculately designed and impeccably engineered it sets extraordinary new standards of performance, style, and luxury for a new generation of connoisseurs.” 

The production of the 2025 Aston Martin Vanquish will be limited to less than 1,000 units per year, with deliveries expected to begin by the end of this year.
