Aston Martin Vanquish

I’ve never heard of the Red Arrows, but apparently they are a UK Royal Air Force aircraft stunt crew sort of like the Thunderbirds or Blue Angels here in America. Aston Martin and Jardine Motors are showing off a new Vanquish S Red Arrows Edition, and the car is stunning.

Aston Martin has rolled out the ultimate Vanquish with its new Vanquish S. Power for the brute comes from a 6.0L V12 engine that makes 600 ps or about 591 hp. That is up from the 573 ps (~565 hp) that the normal Vanquish makes.

Aston Martin has unveiled a new concept car created with help from Italian design house Zagato. The car is called the Vanquish Zagato Concept. It looks spectacular – like the offspring of the Aston Martin Vulcan and a Ferrari.

When you are essentially hand stitching the leather interior of a luxury car like the Aston Martin Vanquish, you can bet that a number of scraps pieces of leather are tossed out. I’d assume that many of those scrap pieces are simply thrown away.

The Aston Martin Vanquish is a damn-near perfect car, as far as aesthetics go. The proportions are perfect, the surfacing is intense without being garish, and the effect is perfectly rakish. Henrik Fisker, a man known well for making fast things prettier, decided to try his hand at making the Vanquish look even better, because he has great big, grapefruit-sized, balls.
