Aston Martin Vanquish S review - verdict
Aston Martin Vanquish 6.0 V12 S Auto Road Test
Test Date 17 May 2005
Price When New £177,100
Verdict
Since its launch in 2001 the Vanquish has always been an impossibly endearing machine, the perfect example of the modern-day big, hairy Aston.
But this new S version goes one better than that. Not only is it faster and therefore hairier than ever on paper, in reality it’s also more refined, far better to sit in, more comfortable and just plain better to drive, period.
Vitally, it also distances itself sufficiently from the DB9 to make sense as a stand-alone model at the top of Aston Martin’s increasingly impressive range of cars. Warts and all, we think it’s fabulous.
