About this car

The 2005 Aston Martin Vanquish S stands as a striking example of British grand touring excellence, finished in Toro Red over an Obsidian Black interior. This rear-wheel-drive coupe pairs its 5.9L V12 with a rare Aston Martin Werks 6 Speed Manual Conversion, delivering engaging performance through a driver-focused six-speed manual transmission. With just 37,898 miles recorded, the car retains its classic proportions and purposeful stance.

Every element of the Vanquish S emphasizes refined power and timeless design. The V12 engine provides effortless propulsion suited to both long-distance travel and spirited road use, while the manual conversion adds a layer of mechanical involvement prized by enthusiasts. Toro Red paintwork accentuates the car's sculpted lines, complemented by the dark Obsidian Black cabin that maintains an elegant, driver-centric atmosphere.

About the Aston Martin Vanquish

Production
2001–2007
Est. units built
2,575

The first-generation Aston Martin V12 Vanquish was introduced in 2001 as the company’s flagship grand tourer. Designed by Ian Callum and developed from the 1998 Project Vantage concept, it combined aluminum body panels with a bonded-aluminum and carbon-fiber structure. Its 5.9-liter naturally aspirated V12 produced 460 bhp and drove the rear wheels through a six-speed electrohydraulically operated automated-manual transmission. The Vanquish was offered with either two seats or a 2+2 configuration and appeared as James Bond’s car in the 2002 film Die Another Day.

The Vanquish S arrived in 2004 with 520 bhp, revised aerodynamics, upgraded brakes, firmer suspension and a claimed top speed exceeding 200 mph. Production ended in July 2007 with the final 50 Vanquish S Ultimate Edition cars, marking the end of automobile manufacturing at Aston Martin’s historic Newport Pagnell factory. Aston Martin confirms that 1,489 original Vanquish models were built, while marque production records document 1,086 Vanquish S models, giving a best-supported combined production total of 2,575 cars.
