Few names in Aston Martin’s modern history carry the same weight as the Vanquish. Since the original model debuted at the 2001 Geneva Motor Show, the grand touring flagship has represented the pinnacle of the British marque’s front-engine performance cars, combining handcrafted luxury with V12 power and timeless design. Now, to commemorate the model’s 25th anniversary, Aston Martin has unveiled the Vanquish 25—a highly exclusive collector’s edition created by its bespoke division, Q by Aston Martin.
Production will be limited to just 50 examples worldwide, evenly divided between 25 Coupe and 25 Volante models, making it one of the rarest modern Aston Martins ever offered. Buyers can also choose between two-seat (2+0) and four-seat (2+2) cabin configurations.
Rather than creating an entirely new model, Aston Martin has used the Vanquish 25 to celebrate the evolution of the nameplate, blending design cues from the original first-generation car with the latest third-generation Vanquish introduced in 2024.
A Bespoke Tribute by Q by Aston Martin
Every Vanquish 25 is hand-finished through Q by Aston Martin, the company’s in-house personalization studio responsible for some of the brand’s most exclusive commissions.
The anniversary edition wears an exclusive Skye Silver exterior finish complemented by bespoke metal foil graphics on the side sills and front shield vanes, along with unique Aston Martin script detailing. Additional touches include stainless steel side strakes, specially designed exhaust finishers, discreet “Vanquish 25” badging, and subtle “V” accents incorporated into the 21-inch forged alloy wheels.
The result is a design that feels unmistakably modern while paying homage to the original Vanquish that helped redefine Aston Martin’s future at the beginning of the century.
A Cabin Crafted for Collectors
Inside, the Vanquish 25 receives an equally thoughtful series of enhancements that distinguish it from the standard production model.
Exclusive perforation patterns and custom trim layouts are joined by embroidered “Vanquish 25” logos stitched into the seatbacks, laser-etched interior inlays, and a bright red engine start button positioned at the center of the console as a visual focal point. A black Alcantara headliner completes the cabin, while buyers can choose from three interior themes: Onyx Black, Oxford Tan, or Phantom Grey.
Like many creations from Q by Aston Martin, the emphasis isn’t on dramatic redesigns but on craftsmanship and subtle details that owners discover over time.
Built on Aston Martin’s Most Powerful Production Car
Beneath the bespoke finishes lies the latest-generation Vanquish, introduced in 2024 as the most powerful series-production Aston Martin ever built.
Power comes from a hand-assembled 5.2-liter twin-turbocharged V12 producing 835 PS (approximately 824 horsepower) and an impressive 1,000 Nm (738 lb-ft) of torque. Performance is equally extraordinary, with a 0-62 mph sprint of just 3.3 seconds and a top speed of 214 mph.
The flagship grand tourer pairs its immense power with a bespoke chassis, advanced dynamics technology, and extensive carbon-fiber bodywork, delivering the blend of long-distance comfort and high-performance capability that has become synonymous with the Vanquish name.
Honoring a Modern Aston Martin Icon
When the original Vanquish debuted in 2001, it marked a pivotal moment for Aston Martin. The car introduced a new generation of design language and engineering that would shape the brand’s future while quickly becoming one of its most recognizable models.
Over three generations, the Vanquish has remained Aston Martin’s flagship front-engine sports car, evolving from an elegant grand tourer into one of the fastest and most technologically advanced vehicles the company has ever produced.
According to Vittorio Gabba, Head of Q by Aston Martin, the anniversary edition was designed to recognize that legacy while celebrating the latest evolution of the model.
The Vanquish 25 “builds on the extraordinary achievements of the modern, third-generation Vanquish,” Gabba said, describing the special edition as a carefully curated celebration of one of Aston Martin’s most significant nameplates.
Debuting at Monterey Car Week
The Aston Martin Vanquish 25 will make its public debut during Monterey Car Week in California this August before customer deliveries begin in the fourth quarter of 2026.
With production capped at only 50 examples worldwide, the Vanquish 25 is less about introducing new performance figures than commemorating one of Aston Martin’s defining modern models. Combining bespoke craftsmanship from Q by Aston Martin with the performance of the brand’s flagship V12 grand tourer, it offers collectors an exceptionally rare celebration of a nameplate that has helped shape Aston Martin for the past quarter century.
