Aston Martin Vanquish Adds Touch of Class to Monterey
Of course Aston Martin showed up to the Pebble Beach weekend events and let the world gawk at its latest model, the AM310 Vanquish. This one, in an eye-catching baby-blue caught the attention of folks at The Quail on Friday.
The Aston Martin Vanquish replaces the old V12 DBS, and runs with a 6.0-liter V12, making 565 hp and 457 lb-ft of torque. The Vanquish will be priced from $279,995 and first deliveries will be made starting early next year.
The new car has an improved focus on weight reduction thanks to carbon fiber body panels. Interior style, inspired by the One-77 , features a sweeping design of the center console. Trunk space has been upped by 60 percent compared to the last model DBS, making the car a little more convenient as well.
Take a look at the Gallery below, and get lost in the bright blue paint of this Aston Martin.
