Aston Martin Vanquish
Flagship Grand Tourer — V12 power and timeless design
The 2001 Vanquish marked the brand's entry into the 21st century, heralding the revival of the great British GT coupe with a naturally aspirated V12 engine and state-of-the-art aluminum bodywork. Unveiled at the 2001 Geneva Motor Show, this GT designed by Ian Callum combined a chassis made of extruded aluminum and carbon fiber elements with a nearly 6.0-liter V12 engine developing around 460 HP, making the Vanquish the most sophisticated and powerful Aston of its time. Designed as a replacement for the Virage, it introduced a new stylistic and technical language that would serve as the basis for the future DB9 and DBS, while retaining the classic elegance and presence typical of Aston Martin.

Flagship Grand Tourer — V12 power and timeless design
The 2004 Vanquish Zagato Roadster is a spectacular one-off that celebrates the meeting of British grand touring and the audacity of Milanese coachbuilder Zagato, transposing the first-generation V12 Vanquish into a radically more sculptural roadster interpretation. Unveiled as a concept car at the 2004 Geneva Motor Show, it retains the Vanquish's 5.9-liter V12 engine producing around 460 HP and advanced aluminum structure, but features a completely redesigned body with more muscular proportions, a shortened rear end, Zagato's signature round lights and a “double bubble” glass treatment behind the headrests, reinforcing its identity as a unique piece. Designed more as a style statement than a production model, the Vanquish Zagato Roadster embodies the essence of the Aston Martin–Zagato collaborations of the 2000s: a high-performance, rare, highly exclusive GT that combines handcrafted refinement, spectacular design details, and supercar performance while preserving the elegant DNA of the original Vanquish.

Designed as a unique coachbuilt piece to showcase Bertone's expertise, the Jet 2 demonstrates how a front-engined super-GT can be transformed into an ultra-luxurious shooting brake, while retaining the performance of the Vanquish and offering a brighter and more practical interior, making it one of Aston Martin's most iconic and coveted contemporary concepts today.
