The second-generation Vanquish arrived in 2012 as a successor to the DBS, elevating Aston Martin's super GT formula. Built on the VH Gen IV platform, its most notable feature is a body constructed entirely of carbon fiber, a first for an Aston Martin series production car. Power comes from the venerable AM11 5.9L V12, initially producing 565 hp through a 6-speed automatic. A major update for the 2015 model year introduced the much-improved ZF 8-speed automatic and a slight power bump, significantly sharpening the car's performance.
The Vanquish is highly collectible as it represents the zenith of Aston's naturally aspirated V12 era, just before the switch to twin-turbo engines. Its stunning design and theatrical V12 soundtrack offer a classic GT experience with modern performance. The standard Coupe and Volante have depreciated into an attractive price bracket for enthusiasts, while limited editions, especially the ultra-rare Zagato models, are blue-chip collectibles that trade for multiples of the standard car's value.
Market data shows a very active and wide-ranging marketplace. The average sale price near $144,000 is skewed by a mix of standard cars and pricier special editions. Well-maintained standard models have found a stable pricing floor, making them a compelling purchase for those seeking supercar looks and a V12 soundtrack without the extreme price tag of its Italian contemporaries. The vast price spread is almost entirely due to the Zagato variants, which exist in their own collector stratosphere.
Buying Tips
- Scrutinize the service history; consistent annual maintenance from a main dealer or a recognized specialist is non-negotiable for the 5.9L V12.
- Carefully inspect all carbon fiber body panels for evidence of damage, cracks, or subpar repairs. Even minor damage can lead to exceptionally expensive fixes.
- Test drive both the pre-2015 6-speed and post-2015 8-speed models if possible. The later 8-speed 'Touchtronic III' gearbox is a transformative upgrade in both refinement and speed.
- Check for 'sticky' buttons and switches on the center console and doors, a common and costly issue to properly remediate on Astons of this period.
- Test all functions of the infotainment system. It can feel dated and clunky, so ensure the screen mechanism, navigation, and Bluetooth all operate correctly.
Prices range from around $56,000 for early, higher-mileage examples to over $635,000 for exclusive Zagato-bodied special editions.
