This is the new Aston Martin Vanquish, and these images were reportedly leaked ahead of the car’s official online debut on Wednesday.
Along with the first pictures of the DBS’ replacement model, we also get specifications and basic information on the V12-powered supercar that is said to be offered in a strictly two-seater or an optional 2+2 seating configuration.
The Vanquish rides on an updated version of the previous model’s bonded aluminum and carbon fiber VH platform boasting improved torsional rigidity.
Under the hood lies a revised 5.9-liter V12 engine that gains an extra 55hp and 50Nm for a total output of 565hp (573PS) at 6,750 rpm and a peak torque of 620Nm (457 lb-ft).
A six-speed “Touchtronic 2” automatic transmission with paddle shifters and a limited slip differential drive the rear wheels.
Aston Martin reportedly quotes a zero to 100km/h (62mph) sprint in 4.1 seconds and a top speed of 295km/h (183mph), versus the outgoing DBS’ 4.3 seconds and 305km/h (190mph) respectively.
Other notable features are said to include the ventilated carbon ceramic disc brakes and a brand-new Launch Control system.
We’ll have more information and images on the new Aston Martin Vanquish as soon as the British automaker shares the official release.
