Few nameplates have shaped Aston Martin's modern identity quite like the Vanquish. Introduced at the 2001 Geneva Motor Show, the V12-powered grand tourer quickly established itself as the brand's flagship model, earning a reputation as one of Aston Martin's most iconic performance cars.

Now, marking 25 years of the iconic nameplate, Aston Martin has unveiled a new limited-production special edition. Called the Vanquish 25, the commemorative model will be limited to just 50 examples worldwide, evenly split between 25 Coupe and 25 Volante units.

Built through Aston Martin's bespoke Q personalization division, every Vanquish 25 is individually commissioned, making it one of the rarest modern V12 grand tourers to wear the iconic badge.

Rather than creating an aggressive, track-focused variant, Aston Martin has taken a more understated approach. The Vanquish 25 retains the elegant proportions of the standard model while introducing exclusive styling details that distinguish it from the rest of the lineup.

Every example is finished in a unique Q Skye Silver paint with metal foil accents on the side shields and shield vanes. Other exclusive touches include Vanquish 25 badging, exclusive diamond-turned, 21-inch forged alloy wheels, and redesigned tailpipes.

The cabin receives a similar treatment with laser-etched Aston Martin trim inlays, a red engine start/stop button, a black Alcantara headliner, and Vanquish 25 embroidery on the seats. Each vehicle also features a numbered plaque, highlighting its limited-production status.

Power remains unchanged from the standard Vanquish. Under the hood is Aston Martin's 5.2-liter twin-turbocharged V12, producing 823 PS and 1,000 Nm of torque. Power is sent exclusively to the rear wheels via an 8-speed automatic gearbox, which enables the grand tourer to sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.3 seconds before topping out at 344 km/h.

"Twenty-five years on from the unveiling of the very first Vanquish, it is only right that we mark this nameplate's contribution to our heritage," said Vittorio Gabba, Head of Q at Aston Martin. "Vanquish 25 builds on the extraordinary achievements of the modern, third-generation Vanquish with a carefully curated package of exterior and interior features that subtly celebrate this important milestone in our history."

The Aston Martin Vanquish 25 will make its public debut during Monterey Car Week next month, with customer deliveries scheduled to begin in the fourth quarter of the year. Pricing has yet to be announced.
