The Aston Martin V12 Vanquish was introduced in 2001 as the successor to the DB7. It was designed by Ian Callum and manufactured at Aston Martin's plant in Newport Pagnell, UK. The V12 Vanquish was powered by a 5.9-liter V12 engine, which produced 460 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque. It had a top speed of 190 miles per hour and could accelerate from 0 to 60 miles per hour in just 4.5 seconds. The car featured an aluminum and carbon fiber body, which made it both strong and lightweight. It also had a 6-speed manual paddle shift transmission, carbon-ceramic disc brakes, and an adaptive suspension system. The V12 Vanquish received praise for its stunning design, exceptional performance, and advanced technology. It appeared in the James Bond film "Die Another Day" in 2002, further boosting its popularity. In 2004, Aston Martin introduced a limited-edition V12 Vanquish S, which had an upgraded engine, producing 520 horsepower and 425 lb-ft of torque. It also had a redesigned body, a new suspension system, and several other improvements. Production of the V12 Vanquish ended in 2005, with a total of 2,578 units produced. It remains a highly coveted car among collectors and enthusiasts, valued for its impressive performance and elegant design. This concours winning car is probably the BEST prepared Vanquish and is fitted with the SDP (Sports Dynamics Pac) which went on to be the Vanquish S without the super light weight wheels. The car started life as the company demonstrator being the car used for PR and customer demonstration use. The car is packed with extras others were not a-custom to, with the Linn music system, pop up dash screen and so much more. This is a car for the enthusiast or collector who wants the best of the best, it's very special and is one of the best driving Vanquish, its whole driving experience is just mind blowing against a standard Vanquish or Vanquish S. The car has been subject to not just standard cleaning it is spotless and every part of the car has been cleaned, but it is no trailer queen, its been used and driven, just a marvellous example and one which should be viewed.
