Aston Martin Vanquish
Powered by a significantly
revised naturally aspirated 6.0-litre V12 petrol engine mated to the
proven Touchtronic 2 six-speed automatic gearbox, the new car offers
suitably impressive performance figures. The V12’s power peak of 565 bhp
(573 PS) makes it Aston Martin’s most potent production model yet,
outmuscled only by the strictly limited edition £1.2m One-77 supercar.
The raw statistics speak for
themselves: 573 PS at 6,750 rpm, 620 Nm of torque at 5,500 rpm, 0-62 mph
in 4.1 seconds and a top speed of 183 mph place the Vanquish firmly
into supercar territory. Yet the brand’s team of engineers have been
working towards economy and emissions improvements, too.
Priced from £189,995 RRP first
deliveries of the new sports car are expected to begin in the UK and
Continental Europe late in 2012.
