In this, the second generation Vanquish’s evolution to S specification, careful attention has been paid to the engine, chassis and aerodynamics to create a machine honed to deliver more intense thrills and even more scintillating performance. Central to this is the naturally-aspirated 6.0 litre V12 engine, which now produces up to 600PS and enjoys sensational throttle response, thanks to a revised, freer-breathing intake system. Building on this, the calibration of the 8-speed Touchtronic III transmission has been revised to deliver faster gearshifts and greater refinement at low speeds. Likewise, the suspension, damper internals, spring rates and anti-roll bar bushes have also been re-tuned to give the Vanquish S a keener edge in the more sporting suspension modes. Visually the car can be readily distinguished by a new aerodynamic package fashioned from exposed carbon fibre. Combined with striking new quad exhaust outlets, the Vanquish S has a more aggressive appearance, entirely fitting for Aston Martin’s most overtly sporting GT production model.
