Aston Martin
does not plan on phoning it in with the new 2025 Vanquish—and its concept's mouth-watering appearance is evidence of that.The luxury
automaker has a rich history of crafting beautiful high-performance sports cars—mostly with the engine in the front. But Aston Martin is going in on mid-engine cars with this next-generation Vanquish. What do we currently know about the new Vanquish?
Engine and performance
Per Car and Driver
, the 2025 Vanquish will most likely be powered by an AMG-sourced twin-turbo 4.0-liter V-8 paired with two electric motors, making it a plug-in hybrid engine. It's a departure from the automaker's original plans to build a 3.0-liter V6 in-house. We might even see an all-electric version of the Vanquish in time.
And while the Vanquish will use a version of the same power plant as the Valhalla
(with which it shares the same general underpinnings), it probably won't have nearly the same power output. C&D also predicts it will feature a bonded-aluminum space frame in place of the carbon-fiber tub used in Aston Martin's hypercars.
Interior
C&D concedes that with the new mid-engine layout, its writers have no idea what to expect for the new Vanquish's interior. It's been said the cabin could be more spacious than its hypercar cohorts, and it's likely open to customization given its luxury nature.
It might also retain some of the same features from previous models, but by the time it's in production, we could see advancements in the company's infotainment technology more befitting a next-gen supercar.
A shared layout
The 2025 Vanquish will share its general layout with the upcoming Valhalla and Valkyrie hypercars.
Despite this, the Vanquish will be much cheaper than its high-performance brethren; the Vanquish will start at around $300,000 compared with the Valhalla's $800,000 and Valkyrie
's $3,000,000 projected price tags. To be fair, $300,000 isn't really cheap, but it is for a brand that's known for luxurious vehicles and partnerships with centuries-old distilleries
. The Valhalla, with which the Vanquish shares its underpinnings, features a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 producing 937 horsepower paired with a 400-volt hybrid powertrain to attain an estimated top speed of 217 mph.
With a 2.5-second 0-to-60 time, it's blazingly fast off the line. But it's also capable of an EV mode that limits it to a max speed of 80 mph.
Rounding out this trio of mid-engine Aston Martins is the Valkyrie, another hybrid hypercar sporting a 6.5-liter V12 engine and an electric motor producing 1,160 horsepower and 663 lb.-ft. of torque.
