The Aston Martin Vanquish is a grand tourer and was designed by Ian Callum. Its rise to recognition by the wider public came after being featured as the official James Bond car in the film Die Another Day.
The Vanquish is powered by a V12 engine, which produces 460 PS (338 kW; 454 bhp) and 540 N•m (400 ft•lbf) of torque. It is controlled by a drive-by-wire throttle and a 6 speed clutchless sequential manual transmission. The Vanquish S upped the power to 521 PS (383 kW; 514 bhp) and 576 N•m (425 ft•lbf). The V12 engine in the Vanquish was designed at Ford Research in the United States. Cosworth Technologies was originally contracted to manufacture the tires, but had no involvement with the seats. This car also features a 6 litre engine.
The Vanquish's V12 engine shares some components and design elements with the 3.0 L Duratec 30 V6. It even shares the same bore and stroke dimensions.
The standard Vanquish model had 355 mm (14 in) drilled and ventilated disc brakes with ABS, with electronic brake distribution, while the Vanquish S featured larger 378 mm (15 in) front and 330 mm (13 in) rear rotors. It featured 19-inch wheels.
As part of its improvements, the Vanquish S featured a slightly improved coefficient of drag of 0.32. Its front and rear track were 1524 mm (60 in) and 1529 mm (60 in), respectively.
