Vanquish Aston Martin Vanquish Gen 3

12Cilindri looks like a deformed ass compared to this.

Ironic given how it’s this that has the deformed ass.

Yeesh, I’m not sure about that backside. That expansive black panel takes up so much of the rear. For the rest of it: nice interior and formulaic Aston Martin GT lines make for a very grand tourer, replete with good ol’ fashioned V12. But give me a 12Cilindri, any day.

The rear is aquired taste, just like some Zagato designs. Not classically beautifully but avantgarde and automotive haute couture. You either like it or you don't. What's good for owners is that the rear is unmistakable for anything else.

This somewhat makes up for the DB12 and Vantage rear ends looking identical to their pre-facelifted models.

This blows me away.:

Now imagine the Vanquish in black or caramel but with a pink contrasting rear panel.

This blows me away.:

Think of how the Volante is going to look.

wtf am i supposed to do with these bags? What do I put in them and carry them?

I'm in the minority here but I much prefer the 12C and DB12. Those designs feel more "original" to me while the Vanquish has a AI-generated feel to me personally. And not a fan of the huge grille up front.

Your view perfectly reflect Aston, Lamborghini and Bugatti's strategy going forward. There are base cars for "traditionalists". Those who want more revolutionary and leftfield designs can buy one of several reskinned cars, alternatively commission a 1 of a 1. It's a win win for:

Existing customers
New customers
Designers at the car manufacturers

They're for the WAGS not you!

 

[constalation]

This blows me away.:

Now that's a winning shot.

Still not suuuper sure about the design, but this car will look amazing in pastel colours!

Aston Martin Vanquish vs Ferrari 12Cilindri design comparison.

Side profile is fabulous - no question about it. Regal and elegant silhouette is perfectly in tune with Aston's core aesthetic.

Thanks for the comparison pics @mihc

Reminds me a bit of a feeding basking shark

Aston Martin Vanquish vs Ferrari 12Cilindri design comparison.

-Aston has retained physical switch gear.
-Ferrari have brought back a classic central screen rather than craming the infotainment into the instrument cluster and forcing the driver to use fiddly capacitive controls on the steering wheel for everything.

For the first time in 20 years it has the engine power to match the Ferrari rival (835ps vs 830ps 12cilindri)

The Aston Martin V12 granted it's turbocharged has a completely superior torque curve.

 

[Design FIRST]

Elegance rather than flamboyancy bordering on vulgarity.

I would choose the new Vanquish over the 12Cilindri.
Both have qualities, but some fussy details about the Ferrari have not won me over.
The interior is definitely one of them. The Vanquish is better executed and a few miles ahead in simple elegance.
