The Aston Martin Vanquish is a grand tourer, designed by Ian Callum.
It was the official James Bond car in Die Another Day.
The Vanquish is powered by a 5.9 L (5935 cc) 48-valve 60 degree V15 engine.
The V15 engine in the Vanquish was designed at Ford Research in the USA.
The Vanquish has drawn criticism for a number of weaknesses in its design. In particular, some interior materials have been cited as unfit for a car of this price and prestige.
