The 2013 Aston Martin Vanquish designed with still retains the
5.9-liter 12-cylinder, but upgraded to produce 565 hp at 6750 rpm. It served up
510 hp in the DBS. Maximum torque is 457 lb-ft at 5750 rpm, up from 420 lb-ft.
Aston declined to adopt direct injection, an engineer told that the benefits
are not worthwhile. Top speed will be around 183 mph, 0 to 60 mph comes up in a
claimed 4.1 seconds, and 0 to 100 takes less than 10. When developing the car,
the engineers didn’t see any benefit to fitting an eight-speed automatic, and
so the Vanquish keeps the ZF6HP six-speed box of the DBS. Sadly, there is no
manual transmission, and the Graziano-built seven-speed automated manual will
remain confined to Aston's V-8 Vantage lineup. At least the six-speed automatic
can blip the throttle on downshifts, and it shifts up to 37 percent quicker
than before.
Vanquish
model’s designed still based on the VH architecture that debuted with the DB9
in 2003. The New 2013 Aston Martin Vanquish designed to replaces DBS. Resurrecting
the Vanquish nameplate emphasizes the new car's status at the top of the
brand's lineup, while distancing it from the DBS, which was too close to the
DB9 not only in name, but also in execution.
The
new Vanquish replaces the DBS, which replaced the first-generation Vanquish.
That car was launched in 2001 as the brand's top-of-the-line model a rare and
expensive car hand-assembled in Aston Martin's old Newport Pagnell production
site. Resurrecting the Vanquish nameplate emphasizes the new car's status at
the top of the brand's lineup, while distancing it from the DBS, which was too
close to the DB9 not only in name, but also in execution.
