Descripción
A new Aston Martin for the 21st Century, the V12-engined Vanquish coupé debuted at the Geneva Auto Show in March 2001. Styled by Ian Callum, the man responsible for the DB7, the Vanquish was inspired by one of Aston Martin's most celebrated models: the DB4 GT Zagato.
Debuted in the DB7 Vantage, and Aston Martin's first power unit of its type, the 6. 0-litre 48-valve engine developed 460bhp. The six-speed gearbox was controlled by F1-style paddles operable in either of two modes: fully manual or computer-controlled automatic, with a 'sport' setting available on both. Standard equipment included almost everything the discerning connoisseur could wish for, while the performance - 190mph and 0-60mph in 4. 5 seconds – placed the Vanquish firmly in the supercar class.
The interior featured Connolly leather upholstery and Wilton carpeting, emphasising the Aston Martin heritage, for despite its advanced specification, the Vanquish was built like all other Astons before it: one at a time and by hand. Production ceased in 2007, by which time the UK list price had risen to over £183, 000. The Vanquish is yet another 'James Bond' Aston Martin, having appeared in Die Another Day (2002) starring Pierce Brosnan as '007'.
Our example is finished in special order Grigio Titanio with light grey leather and smoke Alcantara Quilted Headlining. It has been serviced no less than sixteen times - at 139 miles, 891 miles, 3714, 6367, 8739, 13089, 16882, 20253, 23490, 25336, 27599, 30366, 34199, 37933 and 38103. Most importantly this vehicle has just been serviced by Harwoods Aston Martin. With this completed the car is ready to go and without any shadow of doubt, will be a great investment. At nearly £200, 000 twenty years ago we feel that nice examples of this model will follow other such supercars and rocket in price...
