Aston Martin: Drive like a super sleuth with Aston Martin's special edition Vanquish

Being  avowed fans of these uber fast and expensive rides,   we have  rounded up the best bang for your bulging wallet. 

Aston Martin Vanquish 

To commemorate Aston Martin’s 60th Anniversary, the British sports car manufacturer has  come up with  a limited edition of six bespoke Vanquish Super GT coupes.

Distinct features of the Anniversary Edition are the yellow colored alloy wheels and fender side strakes. The interior features white/black duotone seat center panels, sill plaques with Works Anniversary logo, heavy weave carbon fiber, and contrasting yellow stitching in the leather. The six bespoke cars, all versions of the current Vanquish super GT in either Coupe or Volante form, are being created in association with the luxury British brand’s Gaydon-based design team, and its ultimate personalization service: Q by Aston Martin.

Each of the six cars is subtly different, and each is tailored to reflect one of the six decades being celebrated. The result is a collection of rare and ultra-desirable sports cars that will be instantly recognizable as ‘Works 60th Anniversary’ models. The cars of course retain the standard technical features of the Vanquish super GT such as its 6.0-litre V12 petrol engine mated in a pioneering transaxle layout to the latest generation Touchtronic III eight-speed automatic gearbox. This provides the Vanquish with genuinely spirited performance: the 0-60mph time is a mere 3.6 seconds and the maximum speed tops 200mph.
