About this car
This 2006 Aston Martin Vanquish S presents a rare opportunity to own a sophisticated grand touring coupe powered by a naturally aspirated 5.9L V12 engine. With 42,154 miles, the car combines classic British craftsmanship with serious performance credentials, featuring rear-wheel drive and a smooth-shifting automatic transmission.
The Vanquish S coupe delivers an engaging driving experience through its 12-cylinder powerplant, which produces substantial output while maintaining the refined character expected from Aston Martin. Premium unleaded fuel powers the V12, supported by EPA estimates of 11 mpg in the city and 17 mpg on the highway. The two-door body offers seating for four and precise dimensions of 183.7 inches in length, 75.7 inches in width, and 51.9 inches in height.

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.
