Aston Martin V12 Vanquish

The Aston Martin V12 Vanquish, or Vanquish, was designed by Ian Callum, and is a grand tourer manufactured by Aston Martin. Is has sleek body panel and is constructed from aluminium with each individual panel hand-tailored to the central structure to ensure a perfect fit.

The main structure itself is formed from extruded aluminium sections which are bonded and riveted around a central transmission tunnel made of carbon fibre. One-piece composite sidewalls and carbon-fibre windscreen pillars are also bonded to the central structure to form the safety cell. This is a limited edition car you will seldom see on roads.
