Aston Martin Vanquish Unveiled



Here is something to ogle at. Aston Martin has revealed its latest sports car creation called the Vanquish. Let’s be real here, the Aston Martin Vanquish is a serious piece of British engineering.

The Vanquish is powered by a naturally aspirated 6.0 litre V12 petrol unit that produces a hefty 421kW at 6 750 rpm and displays a maximum torque figure of 620Nm available 5 500rpm, so it’s not lacking in power at all. In fact it’s fast, very fast and will accelerate to 100km/h in a mere 4.1 seconds and will go on to clock a top speed of 294km/h.   


The refreshing design of the Vanquish incorporates Aston Martin’s sports car heritage and takes inspiration from the One-77 supercar with its elegant waist, elongated side strakes and those ‘blade’ shaped rear LED lights. The Aero Duct that can be seen on the rear boot lid assists the Vanquish by reducing rear lift while it struts its stuff at high speed.

The cabin is reportedly very spacious and offers 368 litres of boot space for those long distance hauls and comes with impressive technology that includes an all-new infotainment system. The Vanquish is available either as a two-seater or 2+2 and will go on sale in Europe at the end of 2012. The Vanquish will be sold in the UK with a cheap cheap starting price of R2.45 million.
