If you’ve ever wanted a James Bond car, well this is the one that got all the attention in the newest James Bond movies – the Aston Martin Vanquish. The Aston Martin Vanquish started its production in 2001 and ended in 2007 with the Vanquish S and the DBS model succeeded it. The final version was called the Aston Martin Vanquish S Ultimate Edition and only had 40 cars built which makes it a very rare car indeed and also had a conventional manual gearbox option which was very well met with the automotive press.
The engine was one of the most impressive features of the Aston Martin Vanquish by having a 6.0 litre 48 valve V12 engine producing 456 horsepower and the Vanquish S giving 521 horsepower making this vehicle one of the stronger models out on the market at the time of production. The Vanquish had a top speed of 189.5 miles per hour (mph) and could go 0-60 mph in 4.3 seconds and the Vanquish S had a top speed of 204 mph and went 0-60 mph in 4.0 seconds. The braking system for such a fast vehicle features 355 mm drilled (378 mm on the Vanquish S) and ventilated disc brakes on the Vanquish and comes complete with ABS and electronic brake distribution.
Even though it was one of the James Bond Cars, this car stands alone when it comes to performance and luxury with some very great interior features like a 1300 watt 13 speaker CD stereo for some of the highest quality sound found in the Aston Martin line of vehicles. If you are looking for a quality vehicle and want a luxury look while having a sport look to it, the Aston Martin Vanquish is the car for you and will be for many years down the road.
