ASTON Martin has unveiled its latest model — and James Bond is likely to be shaken AND stirred at the prospect of his next company car.
The Vanquish replaces the DBS grand tourer — favoured by Daniel Craig in his first two Bond outings before he switched to his classic DB5.
And if he does manage to get his hands Aston's latest model, chances are he’ll be outrunning all his enemies.
Under the bonnet is a massive 6-litre V12 engine which will rocket from 0 to 62mph in just 4.1 seconds, and then on to a top speed of 183mph.
The body is made of carbon fibre which makes it lighter and stiffer and improves its sports car-like driving dynamics.
And if that isn’t enough to justify the Vanquish’s £189,995 price tag, potential buyers may be swayed by its looks.
Billed as “the ultimate expression of Aston Martin design ethos”, the Vanquish takes inspiration from the One-77, a limited edition model which cost customers £1.2million.
Dr Ulrich Bez, CEO of Aston Martin, claims the Vanquish will offer “luxurious, continent-crossing capability and pure driving excitement without compromise”.
He added: “This is the latest incarnation of everything we know, informed and developed from One-77.
“It is the ultimate Super Grand Tourer — confident and assured — and is the newest representation of Power, Beauty and Soul.
“I believe the car unveiled today once again puts this great British brand at the top of its class.”
