Power is sent to the rear wheels via a ZF 8-speed automatic transmission and an electronic limited-slip diff.AdvertisementAdvertisementIts bonded aluminum chassis wears a full-carbon body to achieve a curb weight of 4,211 pounds with a near-ideal 51/49 weight distribution. Performance figures include a 3.3-second sprint to 60 mph and a top speed of 214 mph. The Vanquish is positioned as Aston's flagship, above the Vantage and DB12, and supply will be limited, with only 1,000 made per year, so it's a car for collectors and enthusiasts who want the ultimate front-engined V12 GT with supercar performance.What's New for 2025?The 2025 Vanquish is all-new for the 2025 model year, with a clean-sheet design. The engine isn't new, but the twin-turbo 5.2L V12 has been reworked with a reinforced cylinder block, redesigned cylinder heads, repositioned spark plugs, reprofiled camshafts, high-flow fuel injectors, and new turbochargers that spin 15% faster than before, and spool up with less inertia.A new "Boost Reserve" feature maintains turbocharger pressure at part throttle for instant response. The electronic rear differential is a first for Aston Martin on its V12 platform, and the all-carbon body represents a significant weight reduction, though a weight of over 4,200 pounds doesn't exactly make it a lightweight. A Vanquish Volante convertible is expected next year.The 2026 Aston Martin Vanquish's price starts at around $427,700 and $431,500 for the Coupe.ExteriorThe big V12 engine is set well back in the chassis, behind the front wheels in a front-mid-engined layout, so the sloping nose is long, fronted by Matrix LED headlights with lock/unlock animations. Big 21-inch alloys with bespoke Pirelli P Zero tires are standard in sizes 275/35 front and 325/30 rear, and the shape is finished off by light-blade-type LED taillights.AdvertisementAdvertisementCourtesy of Q by Aston Martin, you have access to a huge range of solid, metallic, satin-finish, Racing Line, Icon, and Signature paint finishes, and you can add an optional carbon-fiber exterior package or titanium exhaust.2026 Aston Martin Vanquish VolanteAston Martin USAView the 3 images of this gallery on the original articleInteriorThe two-passenger cockpit features leather-trimmed, heated, 16-way power-adjustable Sport Plus seats, and you can choose from Inspire, Accelerate, and Performance cabin environments.

It's a 16-foot GT, but its carbon body, superbly tuned suspension, and powerful engine give it a lightness and sense of fun that belie its size.AdvertisementAdvertisementHere is an Aston with a genuinely communicative chassis and livewire steering, aided by the new trick rear diff. Yet, it's comfortable and luxurious too, with expensive materials all around, modern in-car tech, and genuine GT capability. The Vanquish is a revelation, and catapults right to the top of its class. At well over $400K, it's very expensive, and production is limited, so you'd better get your order in.Competitors:Mercedes-Maybach SLFerrari 12CilindriMcLaren GTSBentley Continental GT SpeedThis story was originally published by Autoblog on Sep 10, 2026, where it first appeared in the Cars section.
