Aston Martin Vanquish First Drive by Top Gear

Last month, Aston Martin unveiled its most powerful road car to date—the latest Vanquish. Under the hood, this beast boasts a 5.2-liter V12 engine with twin turbos, delivering an impressive 824 horsepower, 738 lb-ft of torque, and reaching a top speed of 214 mph. The Vanquish accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in an astonishing 3.2 seconds.

Aston Martin’s unique “boost reserve” technology enhances its performance by utilizing the turbo wastegate to store extra boost pressure, ensuring rapid throttle response and sharp acceleration without noticeable lag.

But how does this powerhouse perform on the road? Top Gear took the new Vanquish for a spin to put these specs to the test and see how it handles in real-world conditions!
