A quarter-century after its debut, Aston Martin is unveiling the limited-edition Vanquish 25, an exclusive celebration of and tribute to three generations of the iconic British nameplate, created through the marque’s bespoke Q by Aston Martin service. The in-house designers and craftspeople at Q by Aston Martin bring their expertise to highly bespoke commissions, with the Vanquish 25 serving as the latest example. Drawing inspiration from the detailing and 2001 launch specification of the original Vanquish, the special edition combines those cues with new handcrafting techniques and contemporary treatments. The result is a fresh interpretation of the three generations of Aston Martin’s high-performance, range-topping grand tourer.
Production of the Vanquish 25 will be limited to 50 examples worldwide, split evenly between 25 coupes and 25 Volantes. Buyers can choose between 2+0 and 2+2 seating configurations.
Externally, the Q by Aston Martin creation is distinguished by exclusive Q Skye Silver paint, Q Commission metal-foil detailing on the side sills and shield vanes, and bespoke Aston Martin script foil detailing. Other identifying features include Q Commission exhaust finishers, stainless-steel side strakes, unique “Vanquish 25” badging and a subtle new “V” accent on the 21-inch forged alloy wheels.
Inside, the Vanquish 25 features unique perforation patterns and trim divisions, along with seatbacks embroidered with the exclusive “Vanquish 25” logo. Additional details include laser-etched Aston Martin trim inlays, a bright red start/stop button in the center console surrounded by bespoke rotary geometry, and a black Alcantara headliner. Customers can select from three interior trim colors: Onyx Black, Oxford Tan or Phantom Grey.
The bespoke additions build on the latest-generation Vanquish, which debuted in 2024 as the most powerful flagship in Aston Martin’s 113-year history.
Sitting at the top of Aston Martin’s front-engine sports car lineup, the Vanquish showcases the automaker’s in-house engineering capabilities. Its centerpiece is a 5.2-liter twin-turbocharged V12 producing 835 PS and 1,000 Nm of torque. The powertrain is complemented by a bespoke chassis incorporating advanced vehicle-dynamics technology and dramatic carbon-fiber bodywork, while the cabin emphasizes the luxury expected of Aston Martin’s flagship sports car.
The Vanquish has a top speed of 214 mph and accelerates from 0-62 mph in 3.3 seconds, combining supercar-level performance with the proportions and presence traditionally associated with the nameplate. The template for today’s 5.2-liter twin-turbo V12 flagship was established 25 years ago, when the first Aston Martin to carry the Vanquish name debuted at the 2001 Geneva Motor Show. In the years since, the nameplate has continued to represent the upper reaches of Aston Martin’s series-production ambitions.
Welcoming the unveiling of the new Vanquish 25, Vittorio Gabba, Head of Q at Aston Martin, said: “Anyone familiar with this iconic British brand knows the provenance of the name ‘Vanquish’ in our modern history. “25 years on from the unveiling of the very first Vanquish it is only right that we mark this nameplate’s contribution to our heritage. Vanquish 25 builds on the extraordinary achievements of the modern, third-generation Vanquish with a carefully curated package of exterior and interior features that subtly celebrate this important milestone in our history.”
The Aston Martin Vanquish 25 will make its global premiere at Monterey Car Week in California, Aug. 10-16, with first deliveries scheduled to begin in the fourth quarter of 2026.
