Aston Martin Vanquish




A long with the first pictures of the DBS' replacement model, we also get specifications and basic information on the V12-powered supercar that is said to be offered in a strictly two-seater or an optional 2+2 seating configuration.

The Vanquish rides on an updated version of the previous model's bonded aluminum and carbon fiber VH platform boasting improved torsional rigidity.

Under the hood lies a revised 6.0-liter V12 engine that gains an extra 55hp and 50Nm for a totally output of 565hp (573PS) at 6,750 rpm and a peak torque of 620Nm (457 lb-ft).

A six-speed "Touchtronic 2" automatic transmission with paddle shifters and a limited slip differential drive the rear wheels.

Aston Martin reportedly quotes a zero to 100km/h (62mph) sprint in 4.1 seconds and a top speed of 295km/h (183mph), versus the outgoing DBS 4.3 seconds and 305km/h (190mph) respectively.
Other notable features are said to include the ventilated carbon ceramic disc brakes and a brand-new Launch Control system.
