What Happened
Aston Martin has unveiled the Vanquish 25, a limited edition crafted by its bespoke division Q by Aston Martin to celebrate a quarter of a century since the Vanquish nameplate's debut. The car pays tribute to three generations of the iconic British nameplate, drawing inspiration from the original Vanquish's 2001 launch specification while adding new handcrafting techniques. Only 50 examples will be produced worldwide, split between 25 Coupe and 25 Volante body styles, with 2+0 or 2+2 seating configurations available.
Outside, the Vanquish 25 is identified by exclusive Q Skye Silver paintwork and Q Commission metal foil detailing on the side sills and shield vanes. Bespoke Aston Martin script foil detailing, a Q Commission exhaust finisher, and stainless steel side strakes add further visual cues. Unique 'Vanquish 25' badging and a subtle 'V' highlighting on the 21-inch forged alloy wheels complete the design.
Inside, the Vanquish 25 features unique trim perforation patterns and trim splits, seatbacks embroidered with the exclusive 'Vanquish 25' logo, and laser-etched Aston Martin trim inlays. A bright red start/stop button in the centre console is surrounded by bespoke rotary geometry, and a black Alcantara headlining finishes the cabin. Three interior trim colours are offered: Onyx Black, Oxford Tan, or Phantom Grey.
The special edition builds on the current-generation Vanquish, which at its 2024 launch became the most potent flagship in Aston Martin's 113-year history. Its 5.2-litre Twin-Turbo V12 produces 835PS and 1,000Nm of torque, propelling the car to a top speed of 214mph and a 0-62 mph time of 3.3 seconds. The nameplate's emotional template was set with the first Vanquish's debut at the 2001 Geneva Motor Show, and the model has since remained a high-water mark for Aston Martin's series production.
