Aston Martin is cashing in on 25 years of its flagship Vanquish with a limited-production model that pays tribute to one of the coolest nameplates ever. It will also bring in much needed extra cash, as wealthy collectors just can’t pass up a limited edition model at present.
Called the Vanquish 25, the special edition has been created by the marque’s bespoke Q by Aston Martin division and will be limited to 50 examples worldwide, split evenly between 25 Coupe and 25 Volante models.
The anniversary model draws inspiration from the original Vanquish that debuted at the 2001 Geneva Motor Show, blending styling cues from the first-generation car with the latest third-generation Vanquish that launched in 2024.

Exclusive to the Vanquish 25 is a Q Skye Silver exterior finish complemented by bespoke foil detailing on the side sills and grille vanes, stainless steel side strakes, unique ‘Vanquish 25’ badging and specially finished 21-inch forged alloy wheels featuring subtle ‘V’ highlights. A bespoke Q Commission exhaust finisher also distinguishes the model from the standard car.
Inside, Aston Martin has added exclusive perforated trim patterns, embroidered ‘Vanquish 25’ seatbacks, laser-etched trim inlays and a bright red engine start button surrounded by unique rotary detailing. Buyers can choose from three interior themes: Onyx Black, Oxford Tan or Phantom Grey, all complemented by a black Alcantara headlining.
Customers will also be able to specify either 2+0 or 2+2 seating configurations depending on their preferred layout.
Mechanically, the Vanquish 25 remains unchanged, retaining the same formidable performance credentials as the standard flagship.
Power comes from Aston Martin’s 5.2-litre twin-turbocharged V12, producing 614kW (835PS) and 1000Nm of torque. Drive is sent to the rear wheels through a bespoke chassis featuring advanced dynamics technology and carbon-fibre bodywork.
Performance remains suitably extreme, with a claimed 0-100km/h time of around 3.3 seconds and a top speed of 344km/h.
According to Aston Martin, the Vanquish has represented the pinnacle of its front-engined sports car range since the original model arrived 25 years ago, with each successive generation showcasing the company’s engineering and design capabilities.
Head of Q by Aston Martin, Vittorio Gabba, said the anniversary model honours the importance of the Vanquish name within the company’s history.
“25 years on from the unveiling of the very first Vanquish it is only right that we mark this nameplate’s contribution to our heritage. Vanquish 25 builds on the extraordinary achievements of the modern, third-generation Vanquish with a carefully curated package of exterior and interior features that subtly celebrate this important milestone in our history.”
The Aston Martin Vanquish 25 will make its public debut at Monterey Car Week in California next month, with customer deliveries scheduled to begin during the fourth quarter of 2026.
