2013 Aston Martin Vanquish
2013 Aston Martin Vanquish - Aston Martin resurrected an icon, and we all hailed the return of the Vanquish. Clearly though, a simple re-ignition of one of Aston Martin's coolest and most revered monikers wasn't enough, so Aston set about thoroughly reworking its VH architecture and that fabulous 6.0-litre V12 engine. The new Vanquish is 25 per cent stiffer and 13 per cent lighter than the DBS which it replaces, while that V12 now produces 565bhp - up from 510bhp.
Now that luxury automaker Aston Martin has officially announced its range-topping Vanquish, based on the AM 310 concept shown at this year’s Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este, it’s only logical that the British luxury brand would add a Vanquish configurator to its website. Unlike other configurator sites (Ferrari's 458 Italia Spyder, for example), the Vanquish configurator (accessed by choosing "Configure" from the Vanquish page of Aston Martin's website) isn’t much of a time-suck. Prospective buyers can change paint colors, opt for “Standard” or “Carbon Fiber” trim, choose between seven wheel designs and opt for one of five brake caliper colors.
