2005 Aston Martin Vanquish
Ian Callum's V12 flagship — 460 bhp, carbon-and-aluminium chassis, and a starring role as 007's company car.
The story
The Vanquish was Aston Martin's technological statement: a bonded aluminium and carbon-fibre monocoque derived from Formula 1 thinking, wrapped in one of Ian Callum's finest designs — itself inspired by the DB4 GT Zagato. It carried James Bond through Die Another Day and marked the last flagship developed in the Ford era.
This 2005 left-hand-drive car features the magnificent 5.9-litre naturally aspirated V12 producing 460 bhp, driven through the paddle-shift Touchtronic gearbox. A modern classic whose status as the forefather of today's Aston Martin GTs is already reflected in rising values.
