2002 Aston Martin Vanquish Vanquish on 2040-cars
Westville, Florida, United States
If you have more questions or want more details please email : cleotildemauro@netzero.net . Whereas professionally made-up, creatively retouched supermodels may not always look as good in person as they do
on a magazine cover, the Vanquish is exactly the opposite: a masterpiece of proportion, commandingly blending
elegance, power, and purpose. And this "almost new" Vanquish is exactly that. To stand in front of it is simply
mesmerizing. Just opening the hood serves up a feast of aluminum, magnesium, and other beautifully finished
materials. Even the shock-tower brace is made of naturally finished carbon fiber. Elaborate light-metal chimneys
duct hot air from the exhaust-manifold area out though functional vents in the hood. Elegance. Luxury and Speed.
James Bond "style".
No car stands any chance of being a great car without a great engine, and the this Vanquish certainly packs the
house in that department. Its 6.0L/ 460-hp V-12 is a development of the 420-hp unit of the previous DB7 Vantage.
The cabin is a study in aluminum and Connolly leather. Seating is superb: aggressive enough to support and hold you
in place, but never overly firm. Turning the ignition key and nailing the starter button is rewarded with a
sophisticated, barrel-chested, not-overly-muffled bark as the big 12 lights off. Even though the Vanquish motor is
the same displacement as the DB7 Vantage's earlier gen V-12, this one is wholly more aggressive: cammier, edgier,
and just flat louder. Aston-Martin's pipe benders and muffler mavens deserve an Academy Award for Best Achievement
in Sound. Aston claims that this flagship will do 0-60 mph in 4.5 sec. It's just got power everywhere:
musclecar-like torque down low, high-revving power up top, and even though the transmission has six gears, it could
get by with two, given the flexibility and width of the powerband. Open the throttles, and the intake and exhaust
systems just howl; back off, and it's quiet on the cruise. Production? Well, it was a rare one at that: Perhaps 60
of them were made in 2002, out of 200 or so built. Production increased to 300 the next year. And they were all
presold...even with a base price of $228,000.
Today, you can own one for a third of that. And their value continues to increase. This is the car that launched
Aston Martin's current direction. However, in my opinion, they got it right the first time. The "Vanquish". A
Legend.

Andy Palmer leaves Renault-Nissan to serve as CEO of Aston Martin
Tue, 02 Sep 2014Aston Martin has been without a helmsman since Ulrich Bez stepped down from the chief executive office at the end of last year, stepping back to serve as non-executive chairman in a semi-retired ambassadorial capacity. The British automaker, now on the cusp of a new era, has been running without a CEO since, but has now named Bez's replacement in Andy Palmer.
If you don't recognize the name, you should: Palmer has worked under the Renault-Nissan Alliance for decades now, rising through the ranks to become one of the top executives under Carlos Ghosn. Most recently he was serving as executive vice president of the entire group and chairman of the Infiniti brand, but like Carlos Tavares, who recently left Renault to run Peugeot, Palmer is now embarking on a new mission as CEO of Aston Martin.
Once the transition period is complete at the start of October, Palmer's role as Chief Planning Officer at Renault-Nissan will be assumed by Philippe Klein, who steps up from his current role as executive vice president of product planning for Renault. Read the statements from both companies below.
Jaguar F-Type squares off against Porsche 911, Aston V8 Vantage with Chris Harris
Fri, 21 Jun 2013Chris Harris is back on the job, taking on really really difficult car questions like: Which enormously sexy and good-to-drive, high-performance convertible is the top of the heap? As one of the hottest cars in the luxury space right now, the Jaguar F-Type S is, of course, in on the action. Competition comes in the form of the Aston Martin V8 Vantage Roadster and the Porsche 911 Carrera S Cabriolet. Sun-loving CEOs who despise test-driving need look no further.
Scroll on below for a fully featured (with a running time of more than 20 minutes) comparison video. Harris does his best to entertain - in a typically nitpicky and made-up-British-words fashion - and the moving pictures are lovely to look at. Kick back, pour a pint and get your weekend started off right.
Aston Martin and Lotus each issue recalls
Sun, 14 Oct 2012A pair of head-turning high performance cars are catching some attention off a different kind, in the form of safety recalls. Aston Martin and Lotus have issued recalls for the V12 Vantage Coupe and Evora, respectively.
Aston Martin's affects 169 examples of the 2009-2012 V12 Vantage Coupe. It concerns the tire-pressure monitoring system, and is less a malfunction than it is a compliance issue. The TPMS does not alert the driver until the front tire is more than 25 percent below the recommended cold tire pressure. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 138 states that the alarm must sound when tire pressure is "equal to or less than either the pressure 25 percent below" the recommended cold inflation pressure. To address the issue, Aston Martin will notify owners and reprogram the software, free of charge.
As for Lotus, 80 supercharged Evoras have been recalled, all built between February and September, 2011. The problem involves an engine-mounted oil feed pipe, which could rupture, causing loss of engine oil or a possible fire if the oil sprays onto a hot engine.
