Vanquish Aston Martin Vanquish 25

[mihc]

Ian Callum revisits original Vanquish to make it better. Callum announced his first project, the Aston Martin Vanquish 25. Limited to 25 units, Callums Design and R-Reforged will make a better new interpretation of the old Vanquish. Refreshed exterior, more power, better gearbox, carbon ceramic brakes and updated interior. It will have a six speed torque converter automatic transmission. Power around 580HP. Project is also fully backed by Aston Martin themselves.

I think it´s genius what AM is doing with product (even their boat), exhibition (lair) space, and classic cars. Shame that the rest of the company isn´t going well.

It just shows how right the styling of the Vanquish was, it still looks modern, its looks have defied its age, just like Kate Beckinsale.

Very cool.

Still, I prefer this cars' successor. I perceive it to be one of the most visually compelling automobiles of all time.

"With the Vanquish 25, Ian Callum invigorated one of Aston Martin’s finest GTs with comprehensive design and engineering upgrades, but the ex-Jaguar design chief isn’t finished yet. A shooting brake estate version of the V12 icon has been teased through Callum’s Instagram page, revealing a coach-built rear end and a swooping bodystyle not dissimilar to the Ferrari GTC4 Lusso.

This software render provides a first look at what could be a more versatile – and arguably even more beautiful – version of the reimagined Vanquish, which already features new bumpers, headlights, cooling ducts and wheels. The shooting brake takes a much more radical – and expensive – approach with a new roof and tailgate, which would likely be coachbuilt in production spec.

Of course, Callum is a designer by trade, but the Vanquish 25 undergoes significant changes beneath its sympathetically updated exterior. The 5.9-litre naturally aspirated V12 receives a power uplift to 580bhp thanks to revised cylinder heads, a new exhaust and calibration changes, with the engine mated to a manual gearbox from Aston Martin Works as an option.

Of course, that extra power puts the chassis under more stress, so the Vanquish 25 adopts specially tuned Bilstein dampers, uprated suspension bushes and stiffer anti-roll bars. Carbon ceramic brakes round off the dynamic overhaul, and if the shooting brake version materialises, expect it to adopt a similar engineering direction.

The interior should also be similar (when looking forwards, at least). Callum has addressed what is one of the Vanquish's weaker aspects with redesigned seats, tweaked ergonomics and a new carbonfibre dashboard featuring a modern infotainment system. With a detachable Bremont clock and billet aluminium trim inserts, the cabin is almost entirely bespoke, but customers can expand this further with almost limitless personalisation requests.

With the coupe starting from £550,000, including a donor car, expect the shooting brake to cost significantly more by virtue of its bespoke bodywork if it becomes available. "

Very interesting but it's bloody expensive! Bespoke costs!

Wow he's hit that one right out of the park, it's stunning!

This is when it all started for me and Aston-Martin. They've arguably been making the best looking production cars for many years, IMO.

Those older AM shapes and designs were the closest we'll ever be to perfection.

Well I'll need to see the front and back but he's hardly likely to mess that up so yes I'd agree!

For me it was slightly earlier with the James Bond cars we had as kids. Though that Lotus was much crazier!

Exactly. While that Vanquish was a looker, relative to it, it was too, um, "Rubenesque" compared to what came after on the VH Architecture, i.e. DB9, DBS, Virage, last gen Vanquish, etc. Those cars and that gen's Vantage were design perfection. Nothing wasted. Perfect body height. Perfect body length. Perfect body width. Nothing superfluous. Just damn good design. The Vanquish that preceded the VH cars had presence and laid the foundation of what came after it, but it doesn't have me hankering for it. The DBS and the last gen Vanquish did that, does that, and will likely continue giving me that funny feeling. Those cars are the Ana de Armas of car design.
