While the Aston Martin Vanquish is well suited to a gently curving road that follows the shape of an island's coastline, it also offers the unique advantage of making humdrum roads something to relish. You can drive at a relaxed pace, taking in the scenery or, with one quick touch of the throttle, leave everyone else in your dust. For 2015, acceleration times have dropped: Now the 568-horsepower V12 gets the Vanquish to 60 mph in only 3.6 seconds. Whether you're in the Vanquish coupe or Volante, it grips the road in corners and is nicely responsive to driver input. However, while it's more expensive and a hair slower, opting for the Volante makes the driving experience more wonderfully visceral. The Vanquish simultaneously provides class, dignity and elegance, and near-instant power, in a carefully crafted, beautifully designed package.

TOUCHTRONIC III AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION For 2015, Aston Martin replaced the 6-speed automated manual transmission, perhaps the previous Vanquish's only shortcoming, with a lovely 8-speed automatic. Removing the distraction of less-than-smooth shifts makes it even easier to enjoy driving this car. LIGHTWEIGHT STRUCTURE The Vanquish isn't a small car, but it is relatively light, thanks to generous use of carbon fiber and some extruded aluminum in the body, it takes a mere blink of an eye to get to freeway speed.

Leather covers the steering wheel, dash and seats, with available diamond stitching on the seat bolsters and headrests. The 4-seat 2015 Aston Martin Vanquish's cabin is as finely crafted and genuine as they come – if an item looks like carbon fiber or metal, it is. Volante models do get a second row of seats, but this is more extra storage space than a place where grown-up humans can sit. Even starting the car is special: you place a rectangular glass prism in a slot in the center stack.

The Aston Martin Vanquish both timeless and modern. How is that possible, you ask? The curvaceous body is absolutely stunning, with a design that will still look good years from now, yet underneath those eye-catching curves lies a body made of carbon fiber and aluminum. That move increases rigidity while reducing weight. The low-slung 2-door finished off by flared-out rear haunches.

When a car costs more than the average price of a home in the United States, you can expect the car will come with plenty of standard features, some of which are fairly exotic. A Vanquish buyer can expect standard heated memory seats, full leather interior, an Alcantara headliner (coupe only), navigation, an excellent Bang & Olufsen audio system and, appealing to the car's sporting nature, paddle shifters, launch control and carbon-ceramic brakes.

If your 2015 Aston Martin Vanquish isn’t unique enough right out of the box, fear not: There are plenty of ways to make your 2-door stand out. From paint color – including Skyfall Silver, a nod to Aston's history with James Bond – to caliper color, carbon-fiber accents, carpet colors, dozens of stitching choices, and knob colors, plus options like an upgraded alarm, a 4-piece luggage set, and an AMVOX7 watch, this car isn’t just hand-built, it's practically custom-built.

With the 2015 Aston Martin Vanquish, you get one engine and one transmission, but we doubt that will cause any complaints. The Vanquish's V12 engine is referred to by Aston Martin as a 6.0-liter, but that's rounded up from its 5,935-cc displacement (technically making it a 5.9-liter). Backing the 568-horsepower engine is a new rear mid-mounted 8-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters. Coupe or Volante, all Vanquishes come with a limited-slip differential and launch control.5.9-liter V12 568 horsepower @ 6,650 rpm465 lb-ft of torque @ 5,500 rpmEPA city/highway fuel economy: 13/21 mpg

Aston Martin's flagship Vanquish coupe starts at $ 287,820, including gas guzzler tax and destination. Opting for the Volante will bring that starting price up to $ 305,820. There are alternatives that cost less – not much of a concern for Aston Martin buyers – but for reference, the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT Final Edition coupe is about $ 100,000 less than a Vanquish, Bentley's Continental GT Speed starts about $ 60,000 lower, and Audi's R8 V10 plus starts at about $ 178,000. For something that's more exotic yet isn’t offered in convertible form, there's the $ 327,000 Ferrari F12berlinetta.

Aston Martin Vanquish Overview and History

Vanquish is a brand new British sportscar.
What do you do when you have fair amounts of car racing talent, ample passion for automobiles and your enthusiasm, if converted into electricity, could power a small town? You start your own car production and sales business, of course. That is exactly how the Aston Martin brand was started, proudly born into a garage, much like grunge music. Lionel Matin and Robert Bamford garnered levels of success similar to Kurt Cobain's Nirvana. However, Martin and Bamford's version of Nirvana was engineered form scrap through a partnership that would ultimately lead to a kick in the luxury auto-market's groin.

Aston Martin was founded in 1913, soon after Martin emerged victorious out of the famed Aston Hill race. The duo produced their first car 2 years later by fitting a four-cylinder Coventry-Simplex engine to a 1908 Isotta-Fraschinni chassis. However, their plans of starting production were abruptly shattered by the First World War outbreak when both of the car-makers joined the army.

Still, Aston Martin would prevail as soon as the War was over, with the company being refunded to resume its activity. However, not much time went by before Bamford left Aston Martin in 1920. Luckily enough, a wealthy investor saw the true potential of the brand and poured heavy funds into its rejuvenation. Count Louis Zborowski investment turned almost overnight into a delicious technological improvement reward topped with racing track winnings whipped cream.

In 1922, Aston Martin produced vehicles to compete in the French Grand Prix. Besides gaining fame by appearing at some of the most popular races of that time, the cars also collected acclaim by setting new speed and endurance records at Brooklands. The three types of chassis that were used at the time became known as the winning trio with chassis number 1915 at the top and supporting numbers 1914 and 1916 at the sides.

However, the tidal wave of fame that has propelled Aston Martin to new heights broke against the solid wall of a 1924 bankruptcy. Still, it survived, having been purchased by Lady Charnwood who gave her son John Benson an important administrative role. It would ultimately prove that her son could not face the challenges of such a position and the company failed again only one year later. By 1926, the doors had slammed shut, with Lionel Martin stepping into the shoes of his former business partner, Robert Bamford.

Soon after Martin's leaving, the company would be revived for a second time by a ring of rich investors including Bill Renwick and Augustus Bertelli who were responsible for the design and performance of some of the models that would later enter production. By 1937, Bertelli had already developed a variety of vehicles, some of the most famous being the 'Le Mans', the Mk II' and the 'Ulster'.

Although Aston Martin was doing well, it was soon afflicted by a third set of financial problems that were deftly fixed by L. Prideaux Brune, who continued to finance the company for a short time. After changing ownership for a fourth time, the luxury car-maker became still, once the Second World War broke out.

in 1947, the lethargy that had snugly wrapped around the company's activity received a coupe de grace from 'charioteer' David Brown, who had also acquired Lagonda the same year. Aston Martin Motors, who had gained the name during its 1926 resurrection, had entered a new stage of production. The first model of the DB series would soon appear, with a successor being announced in 1950, the DB3 seven years later and so on until the early 70's with the DBS V8.

Although Aston Martin enjoyed success and appreciation, it switched to financial-trouble mode once more, changing two ownerships over the next two decades until Ford took over in the early 90's. During this time, Aston had grown in size and notoriety with a much wider palette of offerings ranging from the Volante to the Vantage and the DB7. Although Ford would not slacken the reigns on Aston Martin's leadership, the board committee was forced to take the same decision as Aston's previous owners: sell the company. Last year (2007) Aston Martin entered a new era when it was purchased by a Prodrive chairman David Richards-led consortium for the amount of $ 848 million. Ever since, Aston has registered an overall sales increase and has expanded by opening more dealers in Europe and even moving to China, a performance that hasn't been achieved in almost a century worth of car-brand history.
