Aston Martin Vanquish S online brochure (and pics)

um i cant tell the difference between the two?

As far as I remember the AM sales made told me that not much will be changed on the S except very few details

He said they will add an extra braking light above the number plates .. modify the rear boot a little bit, and the front will get a lip.

And more power for the engine, other brakes: swirl grooved instead of perforated, revised steering and suspension setup.

Thanks! That car is beautiful!

Now that I notice, it seems the Aston Martin website has recently given a new layout. It's nice, but I liked the older layout more.

This car looks very sexy, and thanks for the brochure 8)

very nice, thanx for the link, but what kinda caption is

ALL ASTON MARTINS ARE RARE
VANQUISH S V12 IS VERY SPECIAL

somebody really just stopped trying :roll:

lol...no kidding deth...but it's still true. Rare, beautiful...and now it'll have the power to go with the engine note and the looks hehe. Probably still won't be as fast as a 575M, but then it doesn't look like one either. Excellent subtle restyling job...more beautiful than ever.

Nah...I mean, come now TT...you wouldn't imagine Vansquish wanting Vanquish S pictures would you? The "S" is just in the wrong place after all hehehe. Thanks man :-D

Thanks a lot, the pictures are sooo nice :)

sigh..if only I had the money lol.

The car just looks astonishing, for me even better than the Vanquish, the trims suit the car a lot, the interior is astonishing as well.....and the black suit very well as almost every supercar.....the car has a weakpoint though...the same as i commented in the chance before....the non manual gearbox......if it werent for the gearbox, the car would be perfect

OMG :shock: look at this machined disk...I've never seen this kind before...
And it looks that the front diffuser or spoiler is lower, doesn't it? Hope the gearbox is changed and JC doesn't cry because of the gbox

thanks for the post TT :D

I think it's a really godo idea to leave the new DB9 as the GT of the range, and move the top of the range Vanquish to a more "hardcore" GT. The car just looks so muscular and purposeful :twisted:

Thanks for the pics guys

omg, this car is absolutely stunning!

TT, the pics u added were absolutely amazing, (not that urs weren't JiggaStyles09)

so thanks to both of you so much, it's such a beautiful car.

i reckon looks better than DB9, truly stunning

Clarkson seriously is right when he says 3 best-looking cars in the world are made by Aston Martin

he mite jus be regretting gettin that Ford GT :wink:

Many thanks for those awesome pics, TT. I'm in love with Aston Martins, so I saved them all om my hard disk.

I totally agree with astonmartinandy. The Vanquish S is a good idea to lift the Vanquish up to a higher level, of more hardcore GT's. And with the new S design details it even looks even better than the normal Vanquish.

Amazing car...I think I have pics for my desktop for at least a few months. Fantastic pics, the car looks so sleek and badass in that colour :D

SilviaEvo...it has a bigger boot lid and a larger front spoiler or however ya call it in English :D

Just for the case you didn´t know: It will have a 520hp engine and 0-60mph will take only 4.8 seconds. I would still buy a SL55 as it´s at least as fast as the Aston and looks even more beautiful IMO :!: And it´s alot cheaper aswell :D

AND the Vanquish probably has a lot of the same interior parts as the Mustang;)

omg omg omg.... 8) :shock: :shock:

Great post man...maybe you could add a few more smileys and end up with a really scintillating one.

The fastest production model ever to be built by Aston Martin made its world debut at the Paris Motor Show on September 23, 2004. With a maximum speed in excess of 200mph (321km/h) and a 6.0 litre V12 engine developing 520 horsepower, the Vanquish S has been designed to deliver even greater performance, complemented by subtle suspension and steering changes and a number of interior and external style revisions.

"The Vanquish is our flagship model and the standard 460 bhp will continue to be built," said Aston Martin CEO, Dr Ulrich Bez. "However, this derivative makes the car even more exceptional. The latest Vanquish S is not only the fastest Aston Martin ever, but it is the best handling too. It is the ultimate high-performance Aston Martin."

The Vanquish S has received subtle but effective changes to complement its elegant muscular body. The famous Aston Martin grille has a new rounded and more open appearance for better cooling, and an aerodynamic splitter improves high-speed stability.

At the rear, a redesigned boot lid featuring a new high mounted stop lamp reduces lift and improves balance and stability, helping to achieve an impressive Cd figure of 0.32.

These differences on the Vanquish S not only improve the appearance but also enhance performance. All the exterior body panels are constructed from aluminium with each individual panel hand tailored to the central structure to ensure a perfect panel fit. Every carefully detailed feature

provides graphic evidence of the painstaking craftsmanship and quality, which is invested in its construction at Aston Martin’s Newport Pagnell site in Buckinghamshire.

Revised steering geometry provides a 20% quicker response, allowing the driver to apply a reduced input for required steering response. This enables the driver to be more precise with inputs - especially on winding roads - and more accurate feedback from the chassis.

The Sports Dynamics suspension, steering and braking package is now standard on the Vanquish S. This includes stiffer springs and dampers and shorter steering arms.

The brakes have been upgraded to incorporate larger six piston calipers and larger grooved and ventilated front discs. The rear discs are 2mm wider for improved heat dissipation. The use of floating discs ensures the driver has consistent pedal feel under heavy braking whilst a new brake pedal assembly reduces travel and enhances pedal feel.

Further development of Aston Martin’s low emissions, all alloy, quad-overhead camshaft, 48 valve, 6.0-litre V12 engine has generated an increase in power from 460 bhp to 520 bhp @ 7000rpm and torque is boosted to 425 lb-ft @ 5800 rpm.

Engine enhancements include new cylinder heads with fully machined inlet ports and combustion chambers to improve airflow, revised engine mapping and new fuel injectors.

The overall interior design is a subtle blend of traditional, classic and modern materials with Bridge of Weir leather upholstery matched to contemporary metal interior fittings and finishes. A number of detailed improvements have been made to the interior of the Vanquish S to enhance the overall appeal.

The luxurious but purposeful two seat or optional 2+2 cabin now features supportive all leather trimmed sports seats with many additional and exquisite detail touches which amply demonstrate the truly special nature of this unique hand crafted sports car.

"The Vanquish S V12 is a combination of state-of-the-art aerospace technology and hand craftsmanship," said Dr Bez. "It is the flagship model of a confident and growing company that is proud to display its heritage but is also determined to make the most technologically modern and inspirational sports cars in the world."

Illustrating Aston Martin’s continuing commitment to customer care Vanquish S customers will be eligible for a complimentary Performance Driving Course. This comprehensive one-to-one driving experience can be taken at one of three proving grounds – Millbrook in the UK, Lommel in Belgium, or Romeo, Michigan, in North America.

With the capacity to continue to turn heads, the design of the Vanquish is already established as a modern classic. Since its launch in 2001, the Vanquish has proved to be a huge success for Aston Martin with over 1500 cars built.

Good improvement over the normal vanquish, but still far from being a rival for the Ferrari 612, in terms of performance and dynamics.

very nice car... the interior OMG... first time i dont see it so gayish with that brownish leather and soo much wood.

Damn sexy . . . damn sexy.

i would say this is nice car///
