Aston Martin Vanquish is a correct Ferrari rival, says Chris Harris
On paper, the brand new Aston Martin Vanquish appears like a luxurious coupe with a giant, highly effective engine on the entrance. Nevertheless, it’s not only a high-powered GT, as Chris Harris came upon.
Harris took the Vanquish to a racetrack and shortly realised how completely different it was in comparison with the outdated DBS. He explains how the automobile feels stiffer and the steering extra direct and sharp. Then there’s the relentless energy from the 5.2-liter twin-turbo V12 engine.
“The DBS has develop into rather more athletic. It is a correct Ferrari rival. They’re taking the sport to Ferrari,” Harris says.
The 2025 Aston Martin Vanquish is constructed round a bonded aluminium chassis. It’s stiffer and has an extended wheelbase than the DBS 770 Final. Whereas it’s completely beautiful to have a look at, the inside has been utterly redone to trendy requirements.
The dual-turbo V12 engine now places out 824 hp @ 6500 rpm and 738 lb-ft of torque @ 2500-5000 rpm. The engine is mated to an 8-speed computerized gearbox, and energy is shipped to the rear axle by way of an digital limited-slip differential.
Aston Martin claims the brand new Vanquish can dash from 0-60 mph in 3.2 seconds and has a prime pace of 214 mph.
