Aston Martin Works unveils Limited Edition Vanquish

Aston Martin is marking 60 years of Aston Martin Works with six limited edition models.

The six bespoke cars, all versions of the current Vanquish super GT in either Coupe or Volante form, are being created in association with the luxury British brand’s Gaydon-based design team, and its ultimate personalisation service: Q by Aston Martin.

Each of the six cars is subtly different, and each is tailored to reflect one of the six decades being celebrated. The result is a collection of rare and ultra-desirable sports cars that will be instantly recognisable as ‘Works 60th Anniversary’ models.

Distinguishing elements of the anniversary cars include trim and paint colour treatments. But the centrepiece of the limited edition models are the bespoke rotaries around the major controls in the centre console of each Vanquish.

Each rotary has been cast from metal that, previously, had formed a piston in an Aston Martin engine of the relevant period. These rotaries are then carefully laser etched with Works’ Anniversary wording.

Instantly identifiable as Works Anniversary cars by features such as their Anniversary Yellow side strakes and alloy wheels, the six Vanquish also feature the new Aston Martin Works 60th Anniversary logo which, like the cars’ colour schemes, has been designed by the team at Gaydon. The vibrant and distinctive logos are etched into each car’s sill plates.

The cars retain the same engine found in the standard Vanquish super GT – a 423kW/630Nm 6.0-litre V12 petrol engine mated to a Touchtronic III eight-speed automatic gearbox.
