Aston Martin has brought its latest supercar, the Vanquish, to India with a price tag of ₹8.85 crore (ex-showroom). With fewer than 1,000 units rolling out per year, it’s a rare one. Orders are open now, and the first deliveries are slated for Q4 2025.
The Vanquish is a two-seater, featuring a 10.25-inch TFT driver’s display alongside a matching touchscreen infotainment system. It comes loaded with online connectivity, 3D mapping, and wireless support for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The cabin is kitted out with Sports Plus seats as standard—16-way adjustable and heated—with an option to upgrade to carbon fibre seats.
Aston Martin keeps a tactile feel intact with metal rotary dials and physical switches for essential controls, including gear selection and drive modes (Wet, Sport, Sports Plus, Track, and Individual). Meanwhile, a 15-speaker Bowers & Wilkins audio setup ensures the Vanquish sounds just as good inside as it does on the road.
At the front, the Aston Martin Vanquish sports a commanding grille, flanked by Matrix LED headlights and a sharp splitter—elements that stay true to the marque’s signature design language. Along the sides, its sculpted carbon fibre bodywork is accentuated by flush door handles.
Around the back, the Vanquish features a Kamm Tail, LED Light Blades, and a quad stainless steel exhaust, with an optional titanium setup shaving off 10.5kg for those chasing performance advantage. Practicality isn’t forgotten, with a 248-litre boot and an 82-litre fuel tank.

Underneath, the Vanquish is built on a bonded aluminium structure with carbon fibre panels, including the bonnet, doors, and bodysides. Compared to its predecessors, the wheelbase has been stretched by 80mm to 2,885mm, resulting in a chassis that boasts 75% greater lateral stiffness than the DBS 770 Ultimate, per the brand. Ground clearance varies based on the air dam setup, measuring 120mm without it and 90mm with it.
The car features a finely tuned suspension with adaptive Bilstein DTX dampers. Handling is further enhanced by electric power steering and a newly developed electronic stability control system. It rolls on 21-inch forged alloy wheels wrapped in Pirelli P Zero tyres, with carbon ceramic brakes—measuring 410mm at the front and 360mm at the rear.
It has a 5.2-litre twin-turbo V12 engine, producing 823hp and 1000Nm of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels through an eight-speed automatic transmission, complemented by an electronically controlled limited-slip differential. Aston Martin says this combination rockets the Vanquish from 0-100 km/h in 3.3 seconds, with a top speed of 345 km/h, making it the fastest and most powerful series-production Aston Martin to date. Despite its raw performance, the Vanquish meets global emissions regulations, emitting 312g/km CO₂ (WLTP) in the EU and 314g/km (NEDC) elsewhere.
The car also features a next-generation ABS with four independent controllers managing Integrated Brake Slip Control (IBC), Integrated Traction Control (ITC), Integrated Vehicle Control (IVC), and Integrated Vehicle Dynamics Estimation (IVE). These systems work in unison to optimise braking performance, improve stability, and enhance overall vehicle dynamics.
