Why it matters

The Vanquish was Aston Martin's V12 grand tourer of the early 2000s and the basis of the later Vanquish S. Road & Track's 2002 road test called it the ultimate Gran Turismo, judging it on styling, performance and driving experience. Its design by Ian Callum drew on the DB4GT Zagato.
