The Aston Martin V12 Vanquish is a grand tourer that was produced by Aston Martin from 2001 to 2007. It was the first Aston Martin model to be built at the company's plant in Gaydon, England. The Vanquish featured an all-new V12 engine and a body styled by Ian Callum. Its performance was comparable to that of Aston Martin's previous flagship, the DB7. The Vanquish was well-received and remained in production until 2007, when it was replaced by the DBS.
