The Aston Martin Vanquish is a grand tourer introduced by British luxury automobile manufacturer Aston Martin in 2001 as a successor to the Aston Martin Virage (1993).

The Aston Martin V12 Vanquish, designed by Ian Callum and unveiled at the 2001 Geneva Motor Show, was produced from 2001 to 2007 as the flagship of the marque. A concept car, known as "Project Vantage" and the first Aston Martin design wholly designed by Callum, was built to display the company's vision for a future sports car that could represent Aston Martin's aspirations after the discontinuation of the Virage-based Vantage. The concept car evolved directly into the V12 Vanquish, and featured an advanced carbon fibre and alloy structure, Aston Martin's most powerful V12 engine, and host of new technologies. A specially modified V12 Vanquish was driven by James Bond in the 2002 film Die Another Day.{{cite web|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/cars/classic/james-bonds-aston-martin-vanquish-driven/|title=James Bond's Aston Martin Vanquish Driven|website=The Telegraph|date=5 December 2016}} In 2004, a mildly updated version of the first-generation model named "V12 Vanquish S" was introduced featuring a more highly tuned engine and more track-oriented ride and handling. The V12 Vanquish was indirectly replaced by the DBS after 2007.

The second-generation "Vanquish" was introduced in 2012, this time based on Aston Martin's existing VH platform – similar to the one that underpinned the DB9. Designed by Marek Reichman and made in the Gaydon facility, the VH platform Vanquish was designed to fill the shoes of the discontinued DBS. In 2017, a "Vanquish S" with a more powerful engine and improved aerodynamics was launched. The second-generation Gaydon Vanquish was succeeded by the DBS Superleggera in 2018.{{cite web|url=https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/2018-aston-martin-dbs-superleggera-revealed-ferrari-812-competitor|title=New Aston Martin DBS Superlegerra revealed as Ferrari 812 Competitor|website=Autocar|date=26 June 2018}} In September 2024, Aston Martin announced the third-generation Vanquish as the successor of the DBS Superleggera.{{cite web|url=https://www.autoweek.com/news/a62009825/2025-aston-martin-vanquish-reveal-specs-features/|title=2025 Aston Martin Vanquish Is an 824-HP V12 Stunner|website=Autoweek|date=2 September 2024}}{{cite web|url=https://www.carmagazine.co.uk/car-news/first-official-pictures/aston-martin/vanquish/|title=Return of the Vanquish – Aston Martin's new V12 super GT revealed|website=CAR Magazine|date=2 September 2024}}{{cite web|url=https://www.evo.co.uk/aston-martin/vanquish/207109/the-new-aston-martin-vanquish-is-an-824bhp-ps333k-ferrari-12cilindri|title=The new Aston Martin Vanquish is an 824bhp, £333k Ferrari 12Cilindri rival|website=Evo|date=3 September 2024}}

The Aston Martin V12 Vanquish was styled by Ian Callum and drew inspiration from the DB4 GT Zagato, projecting a more aggressive presence than Callum's DB7 Vantage. The production car closely resembled the Project Vantage Concept which debuted with a V12 engine at the North American International Auto Show in January 1998. Underneath, the V12 Vanquish car featured a unique and bespoke bonded aluminium composite chassis with a carbon fibre backbone developed in partnership with Lotus, an advanced independent suspension, and a more highly tuned version of the naturally aspirated {{convert|5935|cc|L cuin|1|abbr=on}} Aston Martin V12 engine that had debuted in the DB7 two years earlier. It was available in 2+0 and 2+2 seating configurations and came only in a coupé body style.

The naturally aspirated 60° DOHC 4 valves per cylinder V12 engine with a bore and stroke of {{cvt|89x79.5|mm|2}} produced {{cvt|466|PS|kW hp|order=flip}} at 6,500 rpm and {{convert|400|lbft|0|abbr=on}} of torque at 5,000 rpm.{{cite web|url=http://www.automobile-catalog.com/car/2001/228890/aston_martin_v12_vanquish.html|title=2001 Aston Martin V12 Vanquish|website=automobile-catalog.com|access-date=28 June 2018}} It is controlled by a drive-by-wire throttle and driven by a 6-speed automated manual transmission.{{cite web|url=https://www.evo.co.uk/aston-martin/vanquish/203382/aston-martin-v12-vanquish-2001-2007-britains-answer-to-the-ferrari-550|title=Aston Martin V12 Vanquish (2001-2007): Britain's answer to the Ferrari 550 Maranello|website=Evo|date=7 September 2024}} The Vanquish model debuted with {{convert|355|mm|abbr=in}} drilled and ventilated disc brakes with four-piston calipers, ABS, with electronic brake distribution. The interior featured full instrumentation, advanced electronics, and a choice of leather upholstery with metallic details – the latter was an intentional move away from the wood trim seen in the DB7.

As Aston Martin's flagship car for the era, the V12 Vanquish was designed to deliver new performance benchmarks for the company. In addition to delivering impressive figures including an acceleration of {{convert|0–60|mph|0|abbr=on}} in 4.5 seconds and a top speed of {{convert|190|mph|0|abbr=on}}, the first-generation V12 Vanquish was generally very well received by the motoring press. Road tests included near-universal praise for its powertrain, chassis, advanced engineering, and design. The V12 Vanquish was described without caveat as "The ultimate Grand Tourer" by Road & Track magazine.{{cite web|url=https://www.roadandtrack.com/new-cars/reviews/a9348/2002-aston-martin-vanquish-1/|title=2002 Aston Martin Vanquish|date=6 November 2012|first=Patrick|last=Hong|publisher=Road & Track|access-date=14 July 2020}} Car and Driver described the V12 Vanquish as "worthy of the marque's heritage and a serious alternative to the top Ferrari."{{cite web|url=https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/comparison-test/a15137886/aston-martin-v-12-vanquish-vs-ferrari-550-maranello-comparison-test|title=Aston Martin V-12 Vanquish vs. Ferrari 550 Maranello|date=1 November 2001|first=Ray|last=Hutton|publisher=Car and Driver|access-date=14 July 2020}}

The V12 Vanquish series would become the last all-new model to be made in Aston Martin's Newport Pagnell facility. While the traditional craft techniques had evolved somewhat from those used to make the previous generation of cars, primarily in the panel shaping, there was still a great deal of work done by hand in assembly and finishing as each car was very time-consuming to manufacture. As such, the Vanquish represents both the end of an era as the last model assembled at Newport Pagnell, and the beginning of another with its forward-looking engineering and performance.

Its appearance in the 2002 James Bond film Die Another Day{{cite web|url=http://www.007.info/FactfileDAD.asp |title=James Bond 007 – Die Another Day |publisher=007.info |date=18 November 2002 |access-date=20 March 2011}} earned the V12 Vanquish the number three spot on the list of Best Film Cars Ever,{{cite web|url=http://www.autotrader.co.uk/EDITORIAL/CARS/news/42009.html |title=The Italian Job's Mini Cooper S named best film car |publisher=Autotrader.co.uk

|date=11 April 2008 |access-date=20 March 2011}} behind the Minis from The Italian Job, and the DB5 from Goldfinger and Thunderball. In the movie, James Bond receives this car from Q for his mission to Iceland to see Gustav Graves' presentation of Icarus after being reinstated by M and would eventually use the car once more to chase Zao and rescue Jinx. The vehicle is equipped with a variety of gadgets which include machine guns and missiles on the grille, tire spikes for snow use, an ejector seat that enables the car to go back up, target seeking shotguns, as well as a cloaking device rendering the car invisible.

The V12 Vanquish is the only Aston Martin car loaded with gadgets in the Pierce Brosnan James Bond era as the franchise's deal with BMW expired following The World Is Not Enough. It is also the last gadget loaded modern day Aston Martin car to appear in the James Bond franchise until the Aston Martin DB10 which appeared in Spectre, though it was not loaded with many gadgets. The first two Bond films that starred Daniel Craig had an Aston Martin DBS which was not loaded with gadgets, though the one that appeared in Casino Royale had a compartment that carried Bond's Walther P99 and a defibrillator. The V12 Vanquish also appears in video games namely Project Gotham Racing, Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit 2, James Bond 007: Nightfire, and James Bond 007: Everything or Nothing. In its appearance in Nightfire, the car is equipped with missiles, a smokescreen device, and could also transform into a submarine equipped with torpedoes. The V12 Vanquish was recognized, along with the DB4 GT Zagato, as one of the ten most beautiful cars of all time.{{cite web|url=https://www.autocar.co.uk/slideshow/most-beautiful-cars-ever-made-1#93|title=The most beautiful cars ever made|first=Richard | last = Bremner|date=1 August 2020|publisher=Autocar|access-date=20 October 2020}} The V12 Vanquish also appears in the 2003 The Italian Job remake where it is driven by the film's main antagonist Steve Frazelli, portrayed by actor Edward Norton.

The Aston Martin V12 Vanquish S debuted at the 2004 Paris Motor Show, with a number of subtle styling revisions. The engine displacement remained at {{convert|5935|cc|L cuin|1|abbr=on}}, but power output increased from {{cvt|466|PS|kW hp|order=flip}} to {{cvt|527|PS|kW hp|order=flip}}. Torque also increased from {{convert|400|lbft|0|abbr=on}} to {{convert|426|lbft|0|abbr=on}}.

Visual changes included new wheels, a slightly different nose shape, a new raised boot lid with a larger integrated spoiler incorporating the third high-level brake light (in the rear window on the original Vanquish), a Vanquish S badge on the boot lid (the original Vanquish had no rear model designation), and the addition of a small front splitter. One result of these changes was a reduction in the drag coefficient from {{Cd|0.33}} to {{Cd|0.32}}. The V12 Vanquish S front and rear track measured {{convert|1524|mm|abbr=on}} and {{convert|1529|mm|abbr=on}}, respectively. A change in gear ratio enabled the car to reach a top speed of {{cvt|322|kph|mph|0}}, and accelerate from {{convert|0–60|mph|0|abbr=on}} in 4.2 seconds.

The V12 Vanquish S also incorporated the features of the optional Sports Dynamic Package (available for the Vanquish for the 2004 model year), which included stiffer suspension, revised steering, and larger brakes – {{Convert|378|mm|in|1|abbr=on}} front discs with six-piston calipers and {{Convert|330|mm|in|1|abbr=on}} rear discs with four-piston calipers. The V12 Vanquish S was sold for the 2005 model year alongside the original Vanquish, and 2006 onward as a stand-alone model. The 2007 model year V12 Vanquish was not sold in the United States.

In September 2019, Ian Callum Design (the company started by Ian Callum, the designer of the first generation Vanquish) publicly revealed the Vanquish 25. It is a restoration package for the first generation Vanquish to "make the Vanquish the Grand Tourer for the 2020s". Only 25 cars will be made by British company R-Reforged. The 5.9-litre V12 has been tuned to now make an advertised {{cvt|588|PS|kW hp|order=flip}} a {{cvt|60|hp|order=flip}} increase over a Vanquish S. The car can be had with the original six-speed, single-clutch Speedshift automated manual, a six-speed GM-sourced torque converter automatic, or a six-speed manual conversion already offered by Aston Martin Works.{{Cite web|title=Aston Martin Vanquish 25 by Callum begins Ian Callum's next act|url=https://www.autoblog.com/2019/09/03/aston-martin-vanquish-25-ian-callum-limited-edition/|access-date=2021-02-22|website=Autoblog|date=3 September 2019 |language=en}}

= End of production =

The production of the V12 Vanquish ended on 19 July 2007, coinciding with the closing of the company's Newport Pagnell factory after 49 years of operation. Despite ongoing enthusiasm for the original V12 Vanquish and V12 Vanquish S, the hand made nature of their construction limited production to levels commensurate with earlier cars assembled at Newport Pagnell.

The second-generation Gaydon-built "Vanquish" (the "V12" part of the name was dropped for this generation of cars) started life as the Project AM310 Concept and was unveiled at the 2012 Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este held on the shores of Lake Como, Italy. The concept car was based on the latest generation of the VH platform that had debuted in the DB9, and then evolved into the V8 and V12 Vantage, DBS, Virage V12, and Rapide. It was internally known as project VH310.{{cite web|url=https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/new-dbs-leads-aston-revamp|title=New DBS leads Aston revamp|date=14 May 2012|first=Julian|last=Rendell|publisher=Autocar|access-date=12 August 2020}} It included a tweaked version of Aston Martin's familiar grille and headlight design and a more pronounced bulge in the bonnet – with One-77-inspired flourishes saved for the sides and the rear, the side vents run almost to the door handles (shared with the One-77), new rear light design shared with the One-77, and a 5.9-litre V12 engine that has a power output of {{cvt|558|PS|kW hp|order=flip}}.{{cite web|url=https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a18731994/2013-aston-martin-dbs-previewed-by-am310-concept/|title=2013 Aston Martin DBS Previewed by AM310 Concept|date=29 May 2012|first=Austin|last=Lindberg|publisher=Car and Driver|access-date=21 October 2020}} Aston Martin later announced that the concept would be put into production as the all-new Vanquish.{{cite web|url=http://www.astonmartin.com/cars/vanquish|title=Aston Martin Vanquish|access-date=8 July 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120622034808/http://www.astonmartin.com/cars/vanquish|archive-date=22 June 2012|url-status = dead}}{{Cite web|url=https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/aston-martin/dbs-2008-2012|title=Aston Martin DBS 2008-2012 review|website=Autocar}}{{Cite web|url=https://www.caranddriver.com/news/|title=Car News, Automotive Trends, and New Model Announcements|website=Car and Driver}}

The Vanquish used an upgraded version of Aston Martin's 5.9-litre V12 engine with a power output of {{cvt|573|PS|kW hp|order=flip}} at 6,750 rpm and torque of {{convert|620|N.m|lb·ft|0|abbr=on}} at 5,500 rpm. The Vanquish can accelerate from 0 to {{convert|62|mph|kph|0|abbr=on|order=flip}} in 4.1 seconds, and has a top speed of {{convert|295|km/h|mph|0|abbr=on}}. Like the DB9 and other VH platform Aston Martin automobiles, the engine is front-mounted with the transmission in the rear for better weight distribution. The Vanquish has 51/49 front/rear weight distribution, and a kerb weight of {{convert|1739|kg|lb|0|abbr=on}}. It uses a fully catalysed stainless steel exhaust system with active bypass valves. The 2012–2014 cars use an updated ZF Touchtronic II six-speed automatic gearbox, which was then further replaced by an updated ZF Touchtronic III eight-speed automatic gearbox starting with the 2015 model year. It was the first Aston Martin model to be available with launch control.{{cite journal|last=Delorenzo|first=Matt|title=2014 Aston Martin Vanquish|journal=Road & Track|date=August 2012|volume=63|issue=12|pages=14–15}} The combined space of cabin and a boot that, at 368 litres, is more than 60% larger than that of the DBS.{{cite web|url=https://www.carmagazine.co.uk/car-reviews/aston-martin/aston-martin-vanquish-2012-review/|title=Aston Martin Vanquish (2012) review|work=Car Magazine|date=25 October 2012|access-date=20 October 2020}}
