Aston Martin unveils Vanquish super-car

Sports-car manufacturer Aston Martin has taken the wraps off its latest new model, an all-new Vanquish. The super-car, which features an upgraded 6.0-litre V12 engine, will have a top speed of 183mph and is expected to go on sale later this year for £190,000.

CEO Ulrich Bez said: “This Vanquish is the ultimate expression of Aston Martin’s design ethos, engineering innovation and technical ability. It offers luxurious, continent-crossing capability and pure driving excitement — without compromise. Bearing the same name as the iconic original Vanquish, which did so much to cement Aston Martin’s reputation as a maker of Grand Tourer cars in the modern era, I believe the car unveiled today once again puts this great British brand at the top of its class.”
