Aston Martin has confirmed it will launch six exclusive versions of the Vanquish to celebrate six decades of its Works brand in Newport Pagnell.<\/p>\n
The bespoke vehicles will be based around the company's Vanquish coupe and Volante convertible, but each one will have slight differences to represent various stages of the past 60 years.<\/p>\n
Paul Spires, commercial director of Aston Martin Works, said: "This Vanquish and its five siblings are a celebration of 60 glorious years of Aston Martin at Newport Pagnell.<\/p>\n
"The team have created a series of cars that are forward looking and dynamic. Their anniversary accents ensure that they are certainly not a retro pastiche of our history."<\/p>\n
All of the luxury vehicles will feature the standard Vanquish's 6.0-litre V12, with an eight-speed automatic gearbox. This will make the car capable of 0 to 60 mph in a reported 3.6 seconds and a top speed of 200 mph.<\/p>\n
Each Vanquish will also have detailed control dials created from pistons from a number of Aston Martin engines in each centre console.<\/p>\n
"We're not aware of any other manufacturer having attempted anything like this before," said Mr Spires.<\/p>\n
"I can tell you why – it's because it's incredibly difficult."<\/p>\n
The prices of the exclusive models are yet to be released, but they are expected to be higher than the current standard prices of the £192,995 Coupe and £204,995 Volante. <\/p>\n
