Aston Martin Vanquish 25: a celebration of an automotive flagship
A quarter of a century on from its debut, Aston Martin is unveiling the limited edition Vanquish 25: an exclusive celebration of, and tribute to, three generations of this iconic British automotive nameplate crafted through the marque’s bespoke service, Q by Aston Martin.
The in-house design and craftspeople at Q by Aston Martin bring unparalleled expertise to the creation of truly bespoke and special commissions, exemplified by Vanquish 25. Taking inspiration from the original Vanquish detailing and launch specification of 2001 and adding new handcrafting techniques and treatments to inject modern flare and style, Vanquish 25 represents a fresh take on the three iterations of this epically quick and engaging, range-topping creation.
No more than 50 examples of the new Vanquish 25 will be produced for markets worldwide, with this special Q by Aston Martin creation offered in either Coupe (25 examples) or Volante (25 examples) body styles and in 2+0 or 2+2 seating configurations.
From the outside, the new Q by Aston Martin creation is identified by its exclusive Q Skye Silver paintwork, Q Commission metal foil detailing on the side sills and the shield vanes, bespoke Aston Martin script foil detailing, and the addition of Q Commission exhaust finisher, along with stainless steel side strakes; unique ‘Vanquish 25’ badging; and a new subtle ‘V’ highlighting of the 21-inch forged alloy wheels.
On the inside, the Vanquish 25 gains unique trim perforation patterns and trim splits, seatbacks embroidered with the exclusive ‘Vanquish 25’ logo, laser-etched Aston Martin trim inlays, an eye-catching bright red start/stop button in the centre console surrounded by bespoke rotary geometry, and a black Alcantara headlining. Three interior trim colours are available: Onyx Black, Oxford Tan, or Phantom Grey.
These carefully crafted additions build on the compelling underpinnings of the latest generation Vanquish that, at its launch in 2024, immediately became the most potent flagship in Aston Martin’s 113-year history.
The Vanquish sits at the pinnacle of Aston Martin’s fabled front-engined sports car range. Showcasing exceptional in-house engineering ability, its highlights include a world-class 5.2-litre Twin-Turbo V12 producing an astonishing 835PS and 1000Nm of torque, a bespoke chassis with state-of-the-art dynamics technology, carbon fibre bodywork of epic proportions & presence and an interior which sets the standards for modern automotive sports car luxury. Capable of a top speed of 214mph, and with a 0-62 mph time of 3.3 seconds, the Vanquish is as ballistic as it is beautiful.
The emotional and aspirational template for today’s 5.2-litre Twin-Turbo V12-powered halo model was developed a quarter of a century ago with the debut at the 2001 Geneva Motor Show of the first Aston Martin to bear the now established Vanquish name and, in the years since, it has continued to represent a high-water mark for Aston Martin’s series production aspirations.
Welcoming the unveiling of the new Vanquish 25, Vittorio Gabba, Head of Q at Aston Martin, said: “Anyone familiar with this iconic British brand knows the provenance of the name ‘Vanquish’ in our modern history.
“25 years on from the unveiling of the very first Vanquish it is only right that we mark this nameplate’s contribution to our heritage. Vanquish 25 builds on the extraordinary achievements of the modern, third-generation Vanquish with a carefully curated package of exterior and interior features that subtly celebrate this important milestone in our history.”
Vanquish 25 will make its global premier at Monterey Car Week in California (10-16 August), with first deliveries from Q4 2026.
