The Aston Martin Vanquish was Aston Martin's ultimate poster car until the arrival of the Valkyrie. The design was drawn by Marek Reichman. The car's most striking design feature is located on top of the trunk lid. At the intercession of then CEO, the second-generation Vanquish had to have an integrated rear spoiler. It looks like it is impossible to make and yet they succeeded thanks to the use of Carbon Fibre. The entire rear end is carbon fiber and has a fantastic shape. This example was delivered new in 2013 and has very recently had a major service at the Aston Martin Dealer. The car has only driven 18,000 kilometers and has always been dealer maintained. The Vanquish is full-options and extremely tastefully put together. The “Stratus White” exterior is complemented by an “Aurora Blue Quilted hour letter glass” interior. In addition, the car features the optional carbon side mirrors, carbon roof and alcantara headliner. The Vanquish stands on the optional 20-inch forged alloy wheels and the interior is equipped with a 1,000 watt B & O audio system, among others. Finally, we see the much-loved One-77 steering wheel that looks almost square and feels great in the hand. That a car with a 5.9-liter V12 is an absolute awesomeness really needs no explanation. This example is equipped with the six-speed automatic transmission and the engine produces 565 horsepower. The Vanquish thus goes from 0 – 100 in 4.1 seconds and reaches a top speed of 295 kilometers per hour. What is particularly noteworthy in this regard is that the car sits like a house on the road and is still very quiet. This good handling is mainly due to the adjustable dampers and the fully independent suspension to which the dampers are mounted. To shake off all that speed again, it has at its disposal huge 398 mm carbon ceramic brakes with six pistons per front caliper. The calipers in this case are also blue, a subtle reference to the dark blue interior. Furthermore, this is of course an extremely modern car in which you will lack nothing. For example, the seats are fully electrically adjustable with memory, there is climate control, cruise control, xenon lights, automatic transmission, light and rain sensor, exhaust with flaps, B&O audio, bluetooth telephony, navigation, on-board computer and navigation. The car has only driven 18,700 kilometers and is obviously in new condition. The body then also looks beautiful. The wheels are in new condition and equipped with good tires in the correct sizes. The exhaust tips are in this case matte black and form a nice whole with the carbon rear of the car with the integrated diffuser. The interior is also in new condition. Besides the fact that it is a great place to spend time it is also a so-called 2+2, so in theory you can take behind passengers. Anyone bigger than a toddler will probably be tricky but for emergencies or extra luggage there is space in abundance. The seats are completely free of boarding damage and there are no user marks anywhere. The headliner, the seats, the carpets everything looks like the car just left the factory. Surely that is the prevailing image when we see this Aston Martin, it is also a car that could still be in the brochure today and does not feel a day older. The audio system sounds fantastic, the trunk space is outstanding, there is nothing to stop you from going delightfully “Gran Touren” in this magisterial piece of British engineering. The technique has recently been extensively serviced at the Aston Martin Dealer and apart from the fact that the car has a very low mileage you do not have to worry about upcoming maintenance. It goes without saying that the car comes with the original board folder and the ECU, we just call it the key but Aston Martin had figured out that the key is called ECU. ECU in this case stands for Emotion Control Unit, really. Practically every car that leaves the gates of Gaydon is on its way to becoming a classic from its first admission. The Vanquish certainly is, simply by the fact that it is such’a dazzlingly beautiful car to behold. All that is left to do is fill up the tank every now and then and take a scenic route to your favorite destination.
