2026 Aston Martin Vanquish Returns: 835 HP Twin-Turbo V12, 345 KM/H Top Speed & Bespoke Luxury

In a supercar landscape rapidly pivoting toward hybrid complexity and smaller displacement, Aston Martin has delivered an uncompromising, thunderous counterargument. The legendary Vanquish nameplate has officially reclaimed its throne as the British marquee’s flagship front-engine V12 grand tourer. Armed with an astonishing 835 horsepower and a top speed of 345 km/h, the new Vanquish is the fastest series-production sports car Gaydon has ever built.

Unashamed Grand Touring Proportions & Kamm Tail Styling

The design of the new Vanquish is a tour de force of muscular drama and aerodynamic functionality. The bonded aluminum bodywork features an elongated bonnet leading into a wider, bolder ‘shield’ radiator grille with 13% increased surface area for engine and oil cooling. F1-inspired hood louvers extract high-temperature air, while sculptured side strakes stretch across carbon-fiber composite doors. At the rear, the car adopts a striking Kamm tail flanked by seven individual vertical LED light blades on each side, divided by a floating carbon-composite shield panel.

• Fastest Series-Production Model: Top speed rated at a blistering 345 km/h (214 mph).
• Carbon-Ceramic Brakes Standard: 410mm front and 360mm rear carbon-ceramic discs resisting fade up to 800°C.
• Bespoke Bilstein DTX Dampers: Next-generation dynamic dampers offering an expansive breadth between supple cruising and track-day stiffness.
• 21-Inch Forged Alloys: Wrapped in custom-developed Pirelli P Zero performance tires featuring noise-canceling foam inserts.

Redesigned 5.2L Twin-Turbo V12: 835 HP & 1,000 Nm Torque

Under the sweeping carbon hood rests a heavily redesigned 5.2-litre quad-cam 60-degree V12 engine. Equipped with a reinforced cylinder block, stronger connecting rods, redesigned cylinder heads with reprofiled camshafts, and new higher-flow turbochargers with reduced inertia, the V12 churns out 835 PS (824 hp) at 6,500 rpm and a crushing 1,000 Nm of torque across an expansive 2,500 to 5,000 rpm plateau.

Channeled to the rear wheels via a rear-mounted ZF 8-speed automatic transaxle and an electronic rear limited-slip differential (e-diff), the Vanquish rockets from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.3 seconds. A titanium sports exhaust system with active bypass valves unleashes an operatic twelve-cylinder howl under wide-open throttle.

Bespoke Artisanal Cockpit with Tactile Controls

Inside the handcrafted two-seat cabin, Aston Martin has perfected the harmony between digital luxury and tactile mechanical control. Beautifully knurled solid metal rotary dials control temperature, drive modes, and audio volume, eliminating frustrating touchscreen submenus. Dual 10.25-inch high-resolution displays handle instrumentation and wireless smartphone mirroring, accompanied by an audiophile-grade 15-speaker, 1,170-watt Bowers & Wilkins surround sound audio system.
