Aston Martin is marking 25 years of the Vanquish nameplate with a special edition that feels properly tailored to the moment. The new Vanquish 25, created through Q by Aston Martin, celebrates the British brand’s halo front-engine V12 grand tourer with a limited run of just 50 examples worldwide. Production will be split evenly between 25 Coupes and 25 Volantes, with buyers also able to choose between 2+0 and 2+2 seating layouts.

The original Vanquish debuted at the 2001 Geneva Motor Show and quickly became one of the defining modern Aston Martin flagships. It helped establish the template for a more muscular, more technologically advanced era of Aston design and performance, later evolving through three generations of front-engine V12 grand touring machines. The Vanquish 25 pays tribute to that lineage by blending subtle references to the 2001 launch car with the much sharper execution of today’s Q by Aston Martin craftsmanship.

On the outside, the Vanquish 25 is finished in exclusive Q Skye Silver paint, paired with Q Commission metal foil detailing along the side sills and shield vanes. Bespoke Aston Martin script foil, stainless steel side strakes, unique Vanquish 25 badging, a Q Commission exhaust finisher, and a subtle “V” accent on the 21-inch forged alloy wheels help separate it from the standard Vanquish without turning the car into a loud anniversary caricature. It looks more like a collector-spec grand tourer than a sticker-pack special, which is exactly how a Vanquish tribute should feel.

Inside, Aston Martin gives the Vanquish 25 a more personal and hand-finished character. The cabin features unique trim perforation patterns and trim splits, embroidered Vanquish 25 seatbacks, laser-etched Aston Martin trim inlays, black Alcantara headlining, and a bright red start/stop button surrounded by bespoke rotary geometry in the center console. Buyers can select Onyx Black, Oxford Tan, or Phantom Grey interior trim, giving the limited edition a tasteful range of personalities rather than one fixed look.

Underneath the anniversary details, this is still the latest Vanquish, which means serious performance remains central to the experience. Its 5.2-liter twin-turbocharged V12 produces 835 PS and 1000 Nm of torque, helping the flagship reach 62 mph in 3.3 seconds and a top speed of 214 mph. Add carbon-fiber bodywork, a bespoke chassis, modern dynamics technology, and the drama of a front-engine V12, and the Vanquish 25 becomes more than a commemorative model. It is a reminder of why this nameplate still matters after a quarter century.

The Aston Martin Vanquish 25 will make its global premiere at Monterey Car Week in California from August 10 through August 16, with first deliveries scheduled to begin in the fourth quarter of 2026. Pricing has not been announced, but with only 50 examples planned worldwide and each built through Q by Aston Martin, exclusivity will be part of the appeal from the start. For collectors and longtime Aston Martin loyalists, this is a polished celebration of one of the brand’s most important modern names.
