Puntiki:Aston Martin’s hand-built 6.0-litre V12 is renowned as one of the finest engines in the world, according to Ford spin. It is enormously powerful, smooth and it can also lay claim to being the world’s best-sounding high performance car engine. I rather like the crackle of a F575, but this car sounds great too. The engine in the Vanquish S has a maximum power of 520 bhp (388 kW) at 7000 rpm, with maximum torque of 425 lb ft (577 Nm) at 5800 rpm.
Such power delivers sterling performance. Indeed, this is the fastest-ever road going Aston Martin. Top speed is more than 200 mph (321 km/h), the 0-62 mph (100 km/h) dash is accomplished in only 4.8 seconds while 0-100 mph (160 km/h) takes just 9.8 seconds. But it is the mid-range acceleration that is truly sensational; 50-70 mph (80-112 km/h) takes only 6.5 seconds in sixth gear. Overtaking is effortless.
This automobile looks spectacular, and although Aston Martin is owned by Ford, the Vanquish is a true contender for being the car that James Bond drives. I am still a bit weary of the quality of construction, and reliability, but if you can get one with a warranty and maintanence package, buy it if you can.
