Until the arrival of the Valkyrie, the Aston Martin Vanquish was Aston Martin?s ultimate poster car. The design was drawn by Marek Reichman. The most striking design feature of the car is located on top of the trunk lid. At the suggestion of the then CEO, the second generation Vanquish had to have an integrated rear spoiler. It looks like it?s impossible to make and yet they succeeded thanks to the use of Carbon Fiber. The complete rear is made of carbon and has a fantastic shape. This example was delivered new in 2013 and very recently had a major service at the Aston Martin Dealer. The car has only driven 18, 000 kilometres and has always been dealer maintained. The Vanquish is full of options and extremely tastefully composed. The ?Stratus White? exterior is completed by an ?Aurora Blue Quilted hour letter glass? interior. In addition, the car is equipped with optional carbon exterior mirrors, a carbon roof and an Alcantara headliner. The Vanquish stands on the optional 20-inch forged alloy wheels and the interior is equipped with, among other things, a 1, 000 watt B & O audio system. 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 litre V12 is an absolute killer needs no explanation. This example is equipped with a six-speed automatic transmission and the engine produces 565 hp. The Vanquish goes from 0-100 in 4. 1 seconds and reaches a top speed of 295 kilometres per hour. What is particularly striking is that the car is 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 wheel suspension to which the dampers are mounted. To shake off all that speed, huge 398mm carbon ceramic brakes with six pistons per calliper are available at the front. In this case, the claws 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. The seats are fully electrically adjustable with memory, there is climate control, cruise control, xenon lamps, automatic transmission, light and rain sensor, exhaust with valves, B&O audio, Bluetooth telephony, navigation, on-board computer and navigation.

The car has only driven 18, 452 kilometres and is of course in new condition. The bodywork, therefore, looks beautiful. The wheels are in new condition and fitted with good tires in the correct sizes. The exhaust trim pieces are in this case matte black and form a beautiful 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 fantastic place to spend time, it is also a so-called 2 + 2, so in theory, you can take passengers behind. Anyone larger than a toddler will probably be a pain, but there is plenty of room for emergency or extra luggage. The seats are completely free of entry damage and there are no signs of wear anywhere. The headliner, the seats, the carpets everything looks like the car just left the factory. Surely that is the image that dominates when we see this Aston Martin, it is also a car that could still be in the brochure at the moment and does not feel a day older. The audio system sounds fantastic, the boot space is superb, and nothing will stop you from going ?Gran Touring? in this masterful piece of British engineering.

The technology has recently been extensively serviced at the Aston Martin Dealer and besides the fact that the car has very low mileage, you do not have to worry about upcoming maintenance. The car will of course be delivered including the original map and the ECU, we just call it the key, but Aston Martin thought that the key is called ECU. ECU in this case stands for Emotion Control Unit, really.

Virtually every car that leaves Gaydon?s gate is on track to become a classic from its first admission. The Vanquish certainly is, simply by the fact that it is such a dazzlingly beautiful car to look at. All you have to do is fill the tank every now and then and map out a nice route to your favourite destination.
