Believe it or not, the Aston Martin Vanquish is already 25 years old. But even a quarter of a century later, it remains the clearest expression of what Aston is all about. Even in an era of downsizing and electrification, the Vanquish somehow endures.
Of course, much has been said about its V12 engine, and for good reason. Anything with 12 cylinders is still worth celebrating these days. But historically, the narrative surrounding the V12 as a fixture in Aston’s lineup has been somewhat, let’s say, overstated.
