Aston Martin Vanquish

The Vanquish’s design exudes contemporary elegance with its sculpted physique, broad stance, and flowing curves. A key element in achieving this striking presence is the increased wheelbase; extending the distance between the A-pillar and front axle by 80mm, which elongates the hood and enhances the car’s rakish and luxurious profile. This extension amplifies the front-engine proportions, conveying a sense of speed and power with its teardrop form that captures the dynamic flow of propulsion from front to rear. The design also reflects Aston Martin’s deep ties with motorsport, drawing inspiration from both iconic Aston Martins of the past and present. The team incorporated intricate functional details reminiscent of today’s Formula One cars, as well as the sleek, aerodynamic shapes of the ‘Project Cars’ developed from production models for Le Mans racing in the 1960s.

Marek Reichman, Aston Martin’s Executive Vice President and Chief Creative Officer, remarked: “The Vanquish is an iconic halo model for our sports car portfolio. We always strive to design beyond the expected, with both rationality and thoughtfulness. We’ve captured the immense performance and commanding purpose of the Vanquish while tempering its drama with a rare and unmistakable sense of elegance.” He further stated, “We have merged next-level, ultra-luxury performance with British-cool sports car styling to create a crowning Aston Martin V12 flagship for the ages.”

The craftsmanship and precision within the Vanquish’s interior are central to its design. As a purpose-built two-seat flagship, the Vanquish focuses on delivering an immersive driving experience for the driver and one lucky passenger. We’re particularly impressed by the blend of materials, which creates bold lines and a palpable sense of luxury and quality.
