Aston Martin takes wraps off latest £190,000 supercar

LUXURY sports car manufacturer Aston Martin has taken the wraps off its latest new model, an all-new Vanquish.

The supercar, which features an upgraded 6.0-litre V12 engine, will accelerate from 0-62 mph in 4.1 seconds and will have a top speed of 183 mph. It is expected to go sale later this year with a price tag of £190,000.

Aston Martin Chief Executive Officer, Dr Ulrich Bez said: “Today’s Vanquish is the ultimate expression of Aston Martin design ethos, engineering innovation and technical ability. It offers luxurious, continent-crossing capability and pure driving excitement without compromise.

“Bearing the same name as the iconic original Vanquish that did so much to cement Aston Martin’s reputation as a maker of great GT cars in the modern era, I believe the car unveiled today once again puts this great British brand at the top of its class.

“The new Vanquish mixes beautiful design with impressive technology such as the superb new infotainment system. This is the latest incarnation of everything we know, informed and developed from One-77. It is the ultimate Super Grand Tourer – confident and assured – and is the newest representation of Power, Beauty and Soul.”

The Vanquish will sit at the pinnacle of the Warwickshire-based car maker’s line-up and is only outmuscled only by the strictly limited edition £1.2m One-77 supercar.

Aston Martin, which has its eyes firmly on export markets – especially those in high growth economies like China and Russia, said the grand tourer represented the zenith of the brand’s current design and engineering and pointed to an exciting future for the historic company.
