This Cairngorn Grey Aston Martin Vanquish is coming out of a fresh service and has recently had its coils done. This is a great example of a well-loved pre owned Aston. It has only been driven when the sunny Sundays. This car was built and put on display at the 2002 Detroit Auto Show. This Aston originally listed for over $238k back in 2002. Original MSRP is preent along with all service documentation.

Considered by many to be the last truly hand-built Aston Martin, the Vanquish stands out among modern supercars with its elegant yet aggressive Aston Martin styling. In addition, this particular car is presented in outstanding condition and has exceptional and documented provenance. The V-12 Vanquish has often been credited with the renaissance of this classic British brand. Traditional design cues, such as the signature grille opening, wide fenders, and a low hood line, make this the most striking and masculine Aston Martin, perhaps of all time.

450 bhp, 5,935 cc DOHC alloy V-12 engine, six-speed paddle shift transmission, four-wheel independent suspension with upper and lower wishbones, coil springs, and gas dampers, and four-wheel vacuum-assisted Brembo disc brakes. Wheelbase: 106 in.

The Vanquish was well equipped no matter the client’s wishes. The heart of the car is the smooth, high revving, all alloy 12-cylinder engine. Combined with state-of-the-art fuel injection, the car produces an astonishing amount of torque for its startling off-the-line performance. The breath-taking horsepower also made for exceptional top-speed performance. Power delivery was paramount, and consequently, the car was fitted with one of the world’s first paddle-shifted six-speed gearboxes, adoringly nicknamed the “flappy paddle gearbox” by the presenters of the hit show Top Gear. The close ratio transmission works in concert with advanced electronics to match gear ratios and engine speeds.

London man keys $150k Aston Martin while pushing stroller

Tue, Aug 18 2015

Police are looking for a man who was caught on a dashboard camera keying a supercar last month while out for a stroll with a child in east London. The Aston Martin V8 Vantage was sitting in a parking spot in the London borough of Hackney. It was minding its own business – with its dashboard camera running Â– when it caught the eye of man passing by. Not unusual for a sleek sports car, but what happened next was unexpected. Instead of admiring its British design from afar he angled the pram off the curb and walked toward the car. Footage shows he then took an object out of his pocket and dragged it along the side of the Vantage's aluminum body panel. The owner of the Vantage told the BBC the damage cost over $14,000 to fix. In terms of cars to destroy, this vandal has excellent taste. The Vantage is small, light, and agile. The most affordable version, the V8 Vantage GT, comes with a full leather and Alcantara cabin, with thick contrasting stitching, combined with real carbon fiber and wood finished in piano black. It can sprint from zero to 60 mph in about 4.6 seconds. News Source: BBC Auto News Weird Car News Aston Martin Videos viral video vantage scratch

Aston Martin says its fleet will go all-hybrid

Tue, Aug 29 2017

British luxury carmaker Aston Martin says it plans to convert its entire six-car lineup to hybrid powertrains, with CEO Dr. Andy Palmer telling the Financial Times (subscription required), "We will be 100 per cent hybrid by the middle of the 2020s" and that 25 percent of all Aston Martins will be fully electric "by the end of the next decade." In June, the company announced it will produce the RapidE, its first all-electric car, in 2019, with a limited production run of 155 cars. The Rapide S, the model it's ostensibly based on, starts around $204,000. "RapidE represents a sustainable future in which Aston Martin's values of seductive style and supreme performance don't merely co-exist alongside a new zero-emission powertrain, but are enhanced by it," Palmer said in the statement. "The internal combustion engine has been at the heart of Aston Martin for more than a century, and will continue to be for years to come. RapidE will showcase Aston Martin's vision, desire and capability to successfully embrace radical change, delivering a new breed of car that stays true to our ethos and delights our customers." Palmer also told FT that while the company plans to source battery cells from overseas, it will develop its electric systems in-house. It is working with Williams Advanced Engineering in England on EV systems integrations for the RapidE. Aston is just the latest of a long line of automakers to announce electrification plans. Notably, Volvo recently announced that it would add some form of electrification to its entire fleet by 2019. Related Video:

James Bond's Aston Martin DB10 sells for $3.5 million

Thu, Feb 18 2016

We expect the person that just paid 2,434,500 pounds ($3.48 million at current exchange rates) for James Bond's Aston Martin DB10 from Spectre enjoyed a stiff martini after writing the check to Christies. The sale price shattered the original estimate of at least $1.4 million. The proceeds from the coupe's auction went to Medecins sans Frontieres, and the movie's memorabilia brought a total of 2,785,500 pounds ($3.98 million) for charities. Aston Martin made just 10 examples of the DB10 to shoot Spectre, but the crew modified most of them to film the movie's stunts. This was one of two that the production left untouched. It's also the first DB10 available for sale to the public, and actor Daniel Craig signed the car. The DB10 features a carbon-fiber body that's perfect for the world's best known secret agent, and underneath the beautiful design, these cars have the platform, 4.7-liter V8, and six-speed manual gearbox from a V8 Vantage. Even though they use production-based parts, Aston Martin doesn't certify the DB10s for public roads. However, we presume the new owner has a sprawling estate to enjoy his or her purchase.
