phoenix auto news: on september 2, aston martin released the new vanquish, which will replace the dbs as aston martin's new generation flagship sports car and is also the fastest mass-produced model in aston martin's 111-year history. the new vanquish is still equipped with a v12 engine, with an annual production limit of no more than 1,000 units. the first batch of orders in the chinese mainland market will be delivered from the first quarter of 2025.

in terms of appearance, vanquish continues aston martin's usual perfect sports car shape, while the wheelbase is further lengthened. specifically, the l113 from the a-pillar to the front axle has increased by 80mm. by enlarging the proportion of the front engine in the whole vehicle, the speed and power of the flagship sports car are emphasized.

the new car adopts a modern + retro design approach, drawing inspiration from iconic models past and present, including the aerodynamic design of aston martin f1 cars and the smooth shape of aston martin le mans cars from the 1960s.

some of vanquish's iconic designs fully demonstrate its pure racing pedigree: the sculpted bonnet is equipped with f1-inspired cooling vents to assist the heat dissipation of the v12 engine; the front air intake grille surface area has increased by 13% compared to the previous generation flagship sports car dbs 770 ultimate, and the new bumper vents direct cool air into the front wheel arches to provide sufficient cooling for the engine and braking system.

vanquish is the first v12 aston martin to feature a panoramic glass sunroof as standard. the sunroof is tinted to allow only 6% of sunlight to pass through the glass, while a low-e coating is used to block uva and uvb radiation to prevent damage to occupants, eliminating the need for a traditional sunroof blind.

the distinctive side mouldings are one of aston martin's most iconic design elements. the unique signature is engraved within the sculptural infill panel. vanquish comes standard with bright chrome side mouldings, which stand out against the gloss black side infill panels, but can be customised with the optional exterior top kit. as with previous aston martins, vanquish is adorned with red 'v12' graphics.

the rear part of the new vanquish is inspired by the unique cam's rear of the prototype car that competed in the 24 hours of le mans in the 1960s, which can reduce the resistance of the air drag effect and allow the new car to achieve a higher top speed. compared with the dbs 770 ultimate, the rear width of the vanquish is increased by 10mm, and the body posture is more aggressive.

the core of the rear is the aston martin brand logo-shaped shield panel frame and the new led blade-style taillights. this meticulously crafted lighting layout is used for the first time on the valkyrie model, consisting of seven independent blade-style taillights, with a modern design that is simple and highly recognizable.

as a flagship sports car, vanqiish has a full-width diffuser and quad-exhaust layout, and an optional titanium alloy exhaust system, which reduces the weight by 10.5kg while bringing a more powerful and shocking v12 sound.

the new vanquish is positioned as a two-seater super gt sports car, and adopts a new interior structure similar to that of db12 and the new vantage, including a 10.25-inch full lcd digital instrument, a 10.25-inch pure black touch screen system and a series of physical buttons. all key driving control devices are installed in the central armrest, and the center console is lowered with commonly used functions within easy reach. the interior uses mixed materials to create a texture with clear lines, further enhancing the luxurious texture.

following the db12, vantage and dbx707 models, vanquish is the fourth model to be equipped with aston martin's new generation infotainment system, a fully customized system developed in-house by aston martin. for users who are accustomed to using mobile device navigation applications, vanquish will provide wireless apple carplay function. android operating system and harmony os mobile phone users can enjoy navigation applications through wired connection. in addition, the new car is also equipped with bowers & wilkins' top 15-speaker audio system.

as a two-seater super gt sports car, vanquish comes standard with sports plus seats, which support 16-way electric adjustment and are covered with alcantara and semi-aniline leather. carbon fiber high-performance seats are also available as an option. since there is no second row of seats, the rear part of the vanquish cabin is divided into a dedicated area, and a luggage kit made of exquisite saddle leather is available as an option.

as with all aston martin models, vanquish owners can also explore endless customisation possibilities through the q by aston martin service.

in terms of power, the aston martin vanquish is equipped with a 5.2l twin-turbocharged v12 engine with a maximum power of 835 horsepower and a peak torque of 1,000 nm. the liter/power index reaches 160 horsepower/liter, breaking the record for the strongest output power of aston martin v12 engines in history. the powerful power allows the new vanquish to reach a maximum speed of 345km/h.

the new v12 engine adopts a reinforced cylinder block and connecting rod, a newly designed cylinder head and camshaft, a new intake and exhaust port, a repositioned spark plug and a new high-flow fuel injector, which optimizes the combustion process to improve performance and efficiency while meeting the most stringent exhaust emission standards. in addition, the new v12 engine also uses a new turbocharger with a faster speed and lower inertia, which provides higher performance and more agile throttle response.

aston martin has also added a new boost reserve function to the vanquish. this new technology makes power delivery even more responsive, particularly effective during overtaking and dynamic manoeuvring.

as aston martin's v12 front-engine sports car, the new vanquish also uses zf's 8-speed automatic transmission for the first time and is equipped with an electronic limited-slip differential e-diff on the rear axle. compared with the traditional mechanical limited-slip differential, the electronic limited-slip differential can complete the transition from full opening to 100% locked state within 135 milliseconds. combined with the latest esp technology, it can significantly improve the vehicle's dynamic performance, provide greater flexibility when turning at medium and low speeds, and provide better handling during oversteer and high-speed lane changes.

vanquish uses the same bonded aluminum alloy body structure as the db12/vantage models, with additional reinforcement components added to the bottom of the body. the lateral rigidity of the body is increased by 75% compared to the current flagship sports car dbs 770 ultimate. the more rigid body, combined with the double wishbone front suspension and multi-link rear suspension, will bring the driver a more excellent driving experience.

vanquish uses new bilstein dtx adaptive damper technology with a wider damping range, which allows for a greater range of fine tuning and control for each driving mode. gt mode makes long journeys easy, while sprot and sport+ modes further highlight the unparalleled performance limits of the flagship sports car.

as aston martin's flagship sports car, vanquish comes standard with 410mm front/360mm rear carbon ceramic brake discs, which reduce 27kg of unsprung mass compared to cast iron brake systems, and can provide higher braking performance and less thermal attenuation at high temperatures of 800°c, allowing for easy dynamic control.

vanquish comes standard with 11-inch forged alloy wheels and custom pirelli p zero tires, with tire specifications of 275/35 r21 in the front and 325/30 r21 in the rear. the new forged alloy wheels are lighter than before and also help improve the dynamic performance of the new car.
