Twenty-five years after the original Aston Martin Vanquish made its debut, the brand has revealed the Vanquish 25, an exclusive limited edition model that celebrates one of the company’s most significant modern nameplates.
Created by Q by Aston Martin, only 50 examples of the Vanquish 25 will be made worldwide, split equally between Coupe and Volante models.
A Car That Marked A New Era
When the original Vanquish was revealed at the Geneva Motor Show in 2001, it had been designed by Ian Callum and became the company’s flagship grand tourer and would go on to be one of the brand’s best-known models thanks to its appearance in the James Bond film Die Another Day.
Since then, the Vanquish name has been reserved for Aston Martin’s flagship front-engined production sports cars, with each generation pushing the company’s engineering and performance further. The latest Vanquish, introduced in 2024, is the most recent iteration.
Powered by Aston Martin’s 5.2-litre twin-turbocharged V12, it produces 835PS (824bhp) and 1,000Nm of torque, giving a claimed 0-62mph time of 3.3 seconds and a top speed of 214mph.
Crafted By Q
Rather than introducing major mechanical changes, the Vanquish 25 focuses on craftsmanship and exclusivity. Each car is finished in an exclusive Q Skye Silver paint colour and has bespoke exterior detailing, including unique Vanquish 25 badging, stainless steel side strakes, distinctive wheel detailing and specially commissioned exhaust finishers.
Inside, owners will find exclusive trim perforation patterns, embroidered seat backs, laser-etched trim inlays, a bright red engine start button and a choice of three interior colour combinations designed specifically for the anniversary model.
Available in both two-seat and 2+2 configurations, each example will be individually commissioned through Q by Aston Martin.
More Than Just A Special Edition
Anniversary models are nothing new in the automotive world, but the Vanquish 25 is a little bit different. Rather than celebrating production numbers or outright performance, Aston Martin is recognising a name that has represented the very top of its front-engined sports car range for a quarter of a century.
It’s also another showcase for Q by Aston Martin, showing how the company’s bespoke division can create highly personalised, low-volume commissions that go beyond simple cosmetic upgrades.
With production limited to just 50 cars worldwide, the Vanquish 25 is unlikely to be seen often on the road.
The Aston Martin Vanquish 25 will make its public debut during Monterey Car Week in California this August, with customer deliveries expected to begin in the final quarter of 2026.
