Aston Martin knows how to make beautiful Gran Turismos with vocal V12 hearts and the Vanquish is perhaps the pinnacle of their expertise.

With a 565hp 6.0-litre V12 sitting under this stunning bodywork, the Aston Martin Vanquish offers one of the most emotional driving experiences. This is a car you just can’t take your eyes off it while the thunderous V12 voice makes you want to cross a continent behind its wheel.

Replacing the old gearbox with a ZF eight-speed automatic was a wise move from Aston and allowed the Vanquish to reach its true potential. XCAR just loves the big GT and who can really blame them.

This could be after all one of the last N/A big GTs of the British manufacturer as Aston Martin has already signed a deal with Mercedes for sharing their tech in its future models.
