2018 (67) | Aston Martin Vanquish S

The Aston Martin Vanquish S represents the ultimate evolution of the second-generation Vanquish, refining Aston Martin’s flagship Super GT with greater power, sharper dynamics and more assertive styling. Powered by a 6.0-litre naturally aspirated V12 producing 595 bhp and 630 Nm of torque, paired with an 8-speed Touchtronic III automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive, the Vanquish S accelerates from 0-62 mph in 3.5 seconds and reaches a top speed of 201 mph. Compared with the standard second-generation Vanquish, the S benefits from revised engine calibration, improved transmission response and a more focused chassis setup, giving Aston Martin’s front-engined V12 grand tourer a more urgent and involving character.

The Vanquish S is distinguished by exposed carbon-fibre aerodynamic elements, including a revised front splitter and rear diffuser, alongside quad exhaust outlets, bonnet louvres and a more purposeful stance. Chassis enhancements include revised suspension, damper, spring and anti-roll bar settings, improving body control and steering precision while preserving the refinement expected of Aston Martin’s flagship GT. Built around an aluminium structure with carbon-fibre body panels, the Vanquish S combines muscular V12 performance with handcrafted luxury, dramatic proportions and long-distance grand touring capability. As the final and most developed version of the second-generation Vanquish, the Aston Martin Vanquish S stands as one of the marque’s most desirable modern naturally aspirated V12 models.
