Aston Martin Is Building Just 50 of These Special V12 Vanquish Models

Not every anniversary calls for a louder, faster, or more aggressive car. To celebrate 25 years of the Vanquish, Aston Martin has taken a different route, unveiling a limited-edition model that focuses on craftsmanship and exclusivity rather than dramatic styling. The result is the Vanquish 25, with production limited to 25 Coupes and 25 Volantes worldwide.

Each of the 50 cars will be individually commissioned through Aston Martin's Q personalization division, ensuring no two examples are exactly alike.

Visually, the updates are modest. The anniversary model gains several unique accents, but the Vanquish's timeless proportions remain untouched.

Every Aston Martin Vanquish 25 is finished in Q Skye Silver, complemented by metal foil accents on the side shields and shield vanes. Special badging, bespoke 21-inch forged wheels, and upgraded tailpipes complete the package, giving the car a unique identity.

The cabin follows the same theme. Laser-etched trim inlays, a red engine start button, a black Alcantara headliner, and embroidered Vanquish 25 logos on the seats are among the exclusive touches. It's less about adding new technology and more about celebrating one of Aston Martin's most recognizable nameplates.

Mechanically, nothing has changed. The familiar 5.2-liter twin-turbocharged V12 continues to produce 823 hp and 738 lb-ft of torque, enough to launch the rear-wheel-drive grand tourer from 0 to 62 mph in 3.3 seconds before reaching a top speed of 214 mph.

Buyers will first see the Vanquish 25 at Monterey Car Week next month. Pricing is still under wraps, with deliveries set for the fourth quarter.
