In this Hagerty video, they dive into the new Aston Martin Vanquish, steering clear of any James Bond associations this time around. The Vanquish proves to be a top-notch GT car, boasting a sleek design with a long wheelbase, striking supernova red color, and a luxurious Centenary Saddle Tan hide interior. Under the hood, a mighty 5.2-liter twin-turbo V12 engine churns out a whopping 824 bhp and 738 lb-ft of torque, offering a blend of power and sophistication.
Behind the wheel, the Vanquish delivers a smooth and comfortable driving experience, thanks to its well-tuned steering and adaptive dampers. The car's torque shaping in GT mode ensures accessible power delivery, making it a joy to drive both leisurely and spiritedly. With the option to enhance exhaust noise and performance, the Vanquish offers a personalized driving experience tailored to the driver's preferences.
Comparisons to the Ferrari Dodici Cilindri are inevitable, given their similar price points and V12 rear-wheel-drive setups. While both cars offer impressive performance figures, the Vanquish sets itself apart with its torque delivery and weight distribution. Ultimately, the Hagerty team paints a vivid picture of the Aston Martin Vanquish as a refined and powerful grand tourer that holds its ground against fierce competition in the luxury sports car segment.
