A Powerful Heart: 824 HP V12 Engine
At the core of the 2025 Vanquish is a heavily revised 5.2-liter twin-turbo V12 engine. Aston Martin has re-engineered the powertrain with a reinforced cylinder block, upgraded conrods, and redesigned cylinder heads featuring new camshafts. The intake and exhaust ports have been optimized for better airflow, leading to the incredible power output of 824 horsepower at 6,500 rpm. The engine also delivers an impressive 738 lb-ft of torque between 2,500 and 5,000 rpm, making the Vanquish a beast on both highways and racetracks.
Advanced Engineering and Transmission
Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via an 8-speed automatic transmission, which provides smooth yet responsive shifts. The Vanquish is equipped with an electronic limited-slip differential (eLSD), ensuring exceptional traction and control, particularly in challenging driving conditions. The car also comes with a Boost Reserve function, designed to momentarily increase turbo boost pressure for extra power when needed, perfect for quick overtaking or bursts of acceleration.
Built for Performance: Enhanced Chassis and Driving Modes
The 2025 Vanquish is constructed on a bonded aluminum chassis, making it significantly more rigid—75% stiffer than the DBS 770 Ultimate. This added rigidity improves handling and stability, while the extended wheelbase (80 mm longer than its predecessor) further enhances cornering and high-speed control. The car rockets from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.2 seconds, with a top speed of 214 mph, making it the fastest production car Aston Martin has ever made.
The five driving modes—Wet, Sport, Sport Plus, Track, and Individual—allow drivers to fine-tune their experience based on road conditions and personal preferences. Each mode adjusts key settings, including suspension, throttle response, and steering, ensuring a versatile driving experience whether on the road or track.
Production and Availability
Aston Martin has announced that production of the 2025 Vanquish will be strictly limited, with only 1,000 units produced annually. Deliveries are expected to begin in the fourth quarter of 2024, making this a highly exclusive model. The limited availability adds to the allure, making it a coveted piece of automotive history.
Final Thoughts
The 2025 Aston Martin Vanquish is a masterpiece of design and engineering, offering an unmatched combination of speed, power, and luxury. With an 824 horsepower V12 engine, advanced driving technology, and limited production, the Vanquish is set to be a collector’s dream and a game-changer in the world of high-performance grand tourers.
