The third-generation Aston Martin Vanquish is the front-engined flagship of the current Aston range and was unveiled in Venice on 2 September 2024, with first deliveries in Q4 2024. It shares no bodywork with the DB12 and is a strict two-seater. Underneath sits Aston's 5.2-litre twin-turbocharged V12 — the same architecture as the DBS Superleggera and Valour — mated to a ZF eight-speed automatic and, for the first time on the V12 platform, an electronic rear differential.
The car sits on a wheelbase extended over the DBS, with claimed lateral stiffness materially greater than that of the DBS 770 Ultimate; Bilstein DTX dampers are fitted, and the body is carbon fibre over a bonded-aluminium structure. A panoramic glass roof is a first for an Aston Martin V12. Production is capped below 1,000 cars per year, and the model is still current at time of writing.
The 2024 Vanquish sits at the top of Aston Martin's current front-engined range and is the sharpest-focused Vanquish since the model line began. It is the current V12 flagship, is capped at a defined annual production ceiling, and — with its extended wheelbase, electronic rear differential and panoramic glass roof — represents Aston's clearest statement of intent for the front-engined V12 grand tourer in the modern era.
