Aston Martin unveiled the new Vanquish...563Bhp, 457lb/ft of torque

Looks like an XKR!

 

It would be really cool to overlay an XK over the Vanquish and see how close the lines really are.

I would love to have a carbon fiber bodied car. No more PDW repairs!

 

That new Vanquish is just a touch on the cartoonish side, don't you think? Mind you, could I afford such a car I would have it on the short list.

 

That's my kinda cartoon! I've always loved the looks of the Astons----just think the Jag is a better value.

 

If I could afford an Aston (or a front engine Ferrari) I'd be driving one!

 

It does look good, but oddly it seems a little more bland than an XKR. And not as good bang for the buck.

 

+1 on the overlay,I had a side by side,very close.

 

They put it on the cover of the latest AutoWeek with a nice story.

 

One day, I WILL own an Aston.

 

Good thing, they decided to bring it back

Love the lines of the new Vanquish. Ian Callum's work?

 

Both are beautiful cars, no arguing that. IMHO, the Vanquish just has a little too much going on with the grill and all. Sort of like the XKR-s with the side vents and all, just seems to be just a bit too much. But that's just my taste.

 

The old Vanquish with its clutchless manual could not be parked on a hill and was a bear to drive. What is the transmission in the new Vanquish?

 

Our beloved XKR looks like it's 4 Wheelin in that pick. Let's represent with a lowered profile shot of the exact same car wheels and all...

 

 

Callum left for Jaguar, chap now design director at AM is Marek Reichman.
