Aston Martin is a long-standing manufacturer of high-performance, high-end sports cars. But now, it’s putting its trust in a mid-engine future, which will include the Vanquish. Although this radical shift in philosophy is still years away, we now have some juicy details and plenty of speculation to keep our eyes on it.
Vanquish’s basic layout will be the same as the Valhalla or Valkyrie hypercars but it won’t be limited in production nor cost millions. The company will source a new hybrid V-8 engine from AMG. The 2025 Vanquish engine will now be behind the driver. This should make it more competitive with McLaren 720S and Ferrari F8.
What’s new for 2025?
Aston Martin plans to introduce three mid-engine models. This includes the next generation Vanquish. We have only seen the Vanquish Vision concept, which debuted at Geneva’s auto show. We also learned a few details about Aston’s use of an AMG-sourced V-8 to power its hybrid powertrain. However, there is still much to learn about the 2025 Vanquish, before it arrives in the next few years.
Transmission, Engine, and Performance
Aston Martin will likely bolt a twin-turbo, 4.0-liter V-8 from AMG into the Vanquish. It’ll be paired with two electric motors to create a plug-in hybrid powertrain. This is a departure from the original hybrid 3.0-liter V-6 the company originally intended to build in-house. Although the Vanquish will be equipped with the same engine as the Valhalla’s, it is unlikely that it will produce the same 937 horsepower.
Aston might offer an all-electric Vanquish. We expect it to have a bonded aluminum spaceframe rather than the carbon-fiber tub used on Aston’s hypercars. This Aston is more of a grand touring vehicle than its more track-oriented siblings, as evidenced by the lack of aggressive aerodynamic technology.
Interior
With the change to a mid-engine layout, Vanquish will be entering new territory. This means that everything we knew about the interior of the Vanquish has been lost. Our expectations for its new home are purely speculation. According to Aston, the Vanquish’s cabin will be larger than its other mid-engine hypercars.
It’s difficult to predict Vanquish’s interior design. There will be many customization options and high-end materials. We can tell you one thing: the next-generation Vanquish won’t have the small back seat it had on the predecessor.
Connectivity and Infotainment
Vanquish’s infotainment system is still unknown. It could look similar to the Vantage’s touchscreen system, but we believe the Vanquish will have a more sophisticated interface. Aston may shift its focus from touchscreens to the driving experience if Valhalla’s infotainment systems (or lack thereof) are any indication.
Exterior
The Vanquish brand will expand its reach with the switch to a mid-engine layout. All we knew about the car’s interior is now gone. Our expectations are only speculative. It will be larger than the mid-engine hypercars.
Aston Martin will instead use aluminum space frames for the 2025 Vanquish. Aston Martin’s other offerings, including the Valhalla or Valkyrie, are more aerodynamic. The Vanquish, unlike the other vehicles, is more of a grand tour than a car that’s primarily focused on the track.
There will be many customization options, as well as luxurious materials and sophisticated features. Vanquish’s latest generation will not have the same narrow rear seats as its predecessor.
Safety and Driver-Assistance Features
Aston offers driver-assistance technology on a few of its models, including the Vantage sports car. The Vanquish may be offered with safety features such as blind spot monitoring and a 360-degree camera system. Visit the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and Insurance Institute for Highway Safety websites for more information on Vanquish’s crash test results.
Aston Martin is a Brand
Aston Martin is embracing global marketing campaigns and a bold brand strategy to accelerate its growth with new audiences. Aston Martin builds on its solid reputation for luxurious craftsmanship, sophisticated design, and intense driving pleasure with breathtaking new models like the DBX707 and V12 Vantage.
To update the iconic wings, Peter Saville, the renowned British artist, and graphic designer, collaborated with the company’s world-renowned design function. This campaign celebrates the company as the manufacturer of the most beautiful performance cars.
Wrap it up
Aston Martin is a British automaker that has a long history of making high-end sports cars with engines in their front. However, the British automaker now believes its future lies in a mid-engine future, which will include the next-generation Vanquish.
Although this fundamental shift in philosophy is still years away, there are a few juicy details and some hopeful speculation that will keep us busy. The 2025 Vanquish will be more refined and smoother than competitors like McLaren and Ferrari.
2025 Aston Martin Vanquish Price
A price shift could be seen for this model, as Aston Martin does not want it to cost seven figures. This supercar will be priced at around $300,000. We will have to wait and see what the company offers for this car once it is launched.
