  Aston Martin V12 Vanquish - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Aston Martin V12 Vanquish, designed in 1995 by Ian Callum, is a supercar manufactured by Aston Martin since 2001.
The Vanquish is powered by a 5.9 L (5935 cc) 48-valve 60° V12 engine, which produces 343 kW (460 hp) and 542 N·m (400 ft·lbf) of torque.
Prior to the release of the Vanquish S, there had been critics who felt the Vanquish was not adequately differentiated from the DB9, a $160,000 Aston that featured less weight, less damage to the consumer's wallet, virtually the same engine, and similar power.

 Aston Martin : The Aston Martin V12 Vanquish
The distinctive radiator grille and lower air intake which have become the hallmarks of a modern Aston Martin are flanked by the equally bold and distinctive auxiliary driving lamps and front direction turn indicators.
The main body structure of the new V12 Vanquish including the floor and the front and rear bulkheads is formed from extruded aluminium sections bonded and riveted around the central transmission tunnel which is constructed entirely from carbon fibre.
There is a further deformable composite structure which employs the distinctive Aston Martin mesh air intake grille as a stressed member located ahead of the engine and front suspension to provide additional crash protection and accommodate the engine, transmission and air conditioning radiators and intercoolers.

 4Car Feature - Aston Martin Vanquish S - from Channel 4   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Aston Martin has debuted its fastest-yet production model, the Vanquish S, which puts more distance between the Vanquish range and the similar-looking new DB9.
The latest Vanquish S is not only the fastest Aston Martin ever, but it is the best-handling too.
Aston hasn't confirmed pricing for the S as yet, but says that customers will be eligible for a complimentary one-to-one driving course, offered at either Millbrook in the UK, Lommel in Belgium or Romeo, Michigan.

 WCF Test Drive: Aston Martin Vanquish S   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Aston Martin is an institution in England and everyone loves them, in part due to the haphazard way the perennially poverty-stricken marque would, ever so rarely, spring a stunning yet painfully flawed car that everyone knew wouldn’t work but wanted anyway.
The Vanquish S is big, imposing and visually stunning, with the sleek, animal lines erupting forward from those muscular haunches towards the open, aggressive mouth at the front end.
It’s hugely comfortable inside the Vanquish S, too, with luggage space and all the usual accoutrements for the rich to enjoy a cruise down the boulevard or a long distance journey down to the coast, whichever coast that may be, in absolute style.

 2005 Aston Martin Vanquish - First Look & Review - European Car Magazine
Aston has meddled with the original shape to create the S, but the addenda are pleasingly subtle.
Aston's current management (Callum is now Jaguar's design boss) are well aware of the problem and they've tried to improve matters in the S by swamping everything in dead cow.
The Vanquish's Magneti Marelli gearbox is better than it was on the early models but it's still a couple of generations behind the system fitted to the 575M.
