Aston Martin Vanquish Review: Luxury GT Performance Compared

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.
