First introduced as a concept at the 2012 Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este, the second-generation Aston Martin Vanquish offered a dramatically redesigned take on the DBS which it replaced. Utilizing an updated variant of the company’s VH platform, the Vanquish paired aluminum construction with carbon fiber bodywork for a lighter, better handling automobile. Standard carbon-ceramic brakes and extensive luxury amenities cemented the car’s status as a grand tourer with super car levels of performance.

A 6.0L V12 offering 557hp and a six-speed Touchtronic II automatic transmission allow the Vanquish to attain 60mph in a mere 4.3 seconds and reach a top speed of 183mph. An adaptive damping suspension with three settings ensures the car rewards its driver with both comfort and control depending on the situation. Interior appointments are, as per usual with the brand, exemplary, with nearly every surface covered in leather, Alcantara, or carbon fiber. Bang & Olufsen audio, navigation, and heated power seats all came standard. Today, these cars are well known for their jaw-dropping styling, impressive dynamics, and rarity. The incredible 2014 Aston Martin Vanquish Coupe featured here is finished in striking Jet Black over a Black leather interior featuring Yellow contrasting stitching.
