British luxury carmaker Aston Martin has officially brought back its most famous name. The all-new Aston Martin V12 Vanquish is now available in India. For car lovers, this is massive news because the Vanquish represents the absolute peak of power, design, and luxury. With a starting price of Rs 8.85 crore (ex-showroom), it is one of the most expensive and fastest cars you can buy in the country today. This article covers everything you need to know about its massive engine, new design, and why it is so special.

The Return of the Vanquish: What Happened

Aston Martin has officially launched the third-generation Vanquish in the Indian market. This new model replaces the older DBS Superleggera and takes the top spot as the brand’s ultimate flagship grand tourer. While many car companies are moving toward electric and hybrid vehicles, Aston Martin decided to give the new Vanquish a pure petrol-powered engine. The starting price of Rs 8.85 crore makes it a highly premium offering, and this price will go even higher when buyers add custom paint and interior options.

Background: The Ultimate V12 Flagship

The Vanquish has always been a legendary name for Aston Martin, famous for being a true gentleman’s sports car. Over the years, strict environmental rules forced many car makers to stop building large engines. However, Aston Martin decided to keep the traditional driving experience alive for its most loyal fans. They completely rebuilt their classic V12 engine to make it stronger, faster, and more advanced than ever before. This bold move proves that there is still a strong demand for pure, loud, and powerful sports cars in the modern world.

Key Details: Engine, Speed, and Luxury

Under the hood, the new Vanquish packs a massive 5.2-litre twin-turbo V12 engine. This powerhouse generates an incredible 835 horsepower and 1000 Nm of torque. All this power goes to the rear wheels through a fast eight-speed automatic gearbox.

When it comes to speed, the numbers are mind-blowing. The car can shoot from 0 to 100 kmph in just 3.3 seconds. If you find a safe and long enough track, it can reach a top speed of 345 kmph. This makes it the fastest regular production car Aston Martin has ever built.

Inside the cabin, the luxury is unmatched. It features a modern 10.25-inch touchscreen system and a matching digital display for the driver. The car also comes with a full panoramic glass roof, sport seats wrapped in premium leather, and a 15-speaker Bowers & Wilkins sound system. On the outside, it gets a larger front grille, sharp LED lights, carbon fibre parts, and massive 21-inch alloy wheels that give it a very aggressive look.

Why It Matters: The Impact on India’s Supercar Market

The arrival of the Vanquish is a big moment for the Indian supercar market. The number of wealthy buyers looking for exclusive luxury cars in India is growing fast. However, this car will remain a very rare sight on the roads. Aston Martin has stated that they will only produce under 1,000 units of the Vanquish every year for the entire world. This strict limit means only a few lucky buyers in India will be able to own one. It directly challenges other top-tier supercars in the country, especially the Ferrari 12Cilindri.

What Happens Next: Bookings and Deliveries

Official bookings for the new Aston Martin Vanquish are already open across dealerships in India. Because it is imported directly as a fully built unit from the United Kingdom, buyers will have to wait for their cars to be manufactured and shipped. Global deliveries will begin soon, and the first set of Indian customers will likely get their keys by the end of the year.
