The Vanquish name makes a triumphant return to the Aston Martin lineup in 2025, embodying everything that makes the brand iconic—powerful performance, luxurious design, and cutting-edge technology. This isn’t just a comeback; it’s a statement, with a 12-cylinder engine under the hood, a bold new look, and the latest in Aston Martin’s engineering prowess. The 2025 Vanquish is set to be a limited-run super grand tourer that promises both exhilarating speed and refined comfort.
A Glance Back at the Vanquish Legacy
The story of the Vanquish began with a concept car in 1998, known as Project Vantage, designed by Ian Callum. This concept laid the groundwork for a 12-cylinder powerhouse that would define the future of Aston Martin.
The first-generation Vanquish debuted at the 2001 Geneva Motor Show, quickly earning a reputation for its blend of style and performance. With over 2,500 units produced, this generation packed a punch, starting with 460 horsepower and culminating in the 520-horsepower Vanquish S.
After a brief hiatus, the Vanquish returned in 2012, sleeker and more powerful than ever, boasting 565 horsepower from its 5.9-liter V12. This iteration continued to evolve until 2018, when the Vanquish name once again stepped away—only to return now in 2025, ready to dominate the road.
Unmatched Power Under the Hood
The 2025 Vanquish brings back the beloved V12 engine, now turbocharged to deliver over 820 horsepower and 738 lb-ft of torque. This engine marks a milestone for Aston Martin, achieving the highest specific output in the brand’s history at 158 horsepower per liter.
The Vanquish’s turbocharged setup ensures immediate throttle response, thanks to a clever system called Boost Reserve, which keeps turbo boost pressure at the ready.
Paired with a ZF 8-speed gearbox and an advanced electronic rear limited-slip differential, the Vanquish rockets from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.2 seconds and reaches a top speed of 214 mph. Braking is equally impressive, with massive carbon ceramic discs and a state-of-the-art adaptive suspension system that balances performance and comfort, making it a true grand tourer.
Cutting-Edge Design and Features
The Vanquish stands out with its striking design, particularly the rear end that features a unique cam tail style—a design element seen in some of Aston Martin’s most exclusive models. The glass roof, standard on the Vanquish, is tinted to allow just 6% light transmission, offering both style and protection from harmful rays.
Inside, the cabin is a blend of luxury and technology, featuring the latest digital displays, including a 10.25-inch TFT screen for the driver and a matching center touchscreen. Physical buttons and dials remain for essential controls, ensuring an intuitive driving experience.
Price and Availability
While Aston Martin has yet to announce the official starting price for the 2025 Vanquish, it’s expected to hover around the $300,000 mark. With only 1,000 units planned for production each year, exclusivity is guaranteed. The Vanquish is available for order now, with deliveries expected by the fourth quarter of this year.
For those seeking the ultimate in customization, Aston Martin’s bespoke service, Q by Aston Martin, offers endless possibilities to create a truly unique driving machine.
The 2025 Vanquish is not just a car; it’s a celebration of Aston Martin’s heritage and a showcase of its future. Whether you’re drawn to its history, its power, or its undeniable style, the new Vanquish is sure to captivate enthusiasts and collectors alike.
