Aston Martin Manila pulled off one from under the rug of its competitors with the recent launch of its flagship Super GT, the Vanquish S. Held at the fashionable district of Rockwell in Makati City, Aston Martin’s ultimate GT sports car is expected to spark the competitive spirit of super car distributors in the highly competitive domestic niche market.
“I am pleased to officially introduce the new Vanquish S, and we very much look forward to see the new flagship Aston Martin being driven on the streets of Manila,” states Marc Tagle, Chairman and President of Aston Martin Manila. With a potent and improved 6.0 liter V12 engine producing 588 bhp, the Vanquish S has a top speed of 323 km/hr and can sprint from 0-100km/hr in just 3.5 seconds. The engine is matted to an eight-speed Touchtronic III Transmission, equipped with revised engine manifolds for increased airflow and quad exhaust pipes at rear to say that this Brit is ready to take on challengers on and off the race track. This British supercar is expected to lock horns with the Nissan GTR, BMW M5 and Porsche GT3 in the local market. “With significant enhancements to the engine, chassis and aerodynamics, this supercar will guarantee pure driving pleasure and an exhilarating experience any time behind the wheel,” adds Nicky Mariano, Managing Director for Aston Martin Manila.
One can distinguish the Vanquish S with its new aerodynamic package, cloaked in a suit of carbon. A 2×2 carbon fiber twill front splitter and rear diffuser will not only accentuate exterior styling, but improve high-speed stability as well. Inside the cabin, the Vanquish S displays luxurious interior features such as Filograph quilt design options, Bang & Olufsen audio and the AMi III Infotainment system with all new satellite navigation.
Combined with striking new quad exhaust outlets, the Vanquish S has a more aggressive appearance, entirely fitting for Aston Martin’s most overtly sporting GT production model. Vanquish S embodies the very essence of Aston Martin and yet redefines each core element to create a machine of amplified sporting capability; a combination of unbound craftsmanship and power that comes together in utmost harmony.
Mariano also revealed that deliveries of the Vanquish S will commence this month.
