In “Die Another Day,” the most famous "British spy" in the world drove a 2002 Aston Martin Vanquish, but this wasn’t the only time James Bond was seen behind the wheel of an Aston Martin. In fact, Aston Martin Formula 1 team highlights that almost 50 percent of all James Bond movies have featured one of the Aston Martin cars. There were spectacular Bond vehicles such as the Aston Martin V8, Aston Martin Valhalla, Aston Martin DB5, Aston Martin DB10, and Aston Martin DBS, but we are hyped about the recent addition to the Aston Martin family which will be released just in time for the new Bond movie.
Naturally, this is the 2024 Aston Martin Vanquish, a car that seems designed for super spies and super villains. Not for nothing, Pierce Brosnan aka James Bond drove an Aston Martin V12 Vanquish in “Die Another Day.”
Since 2019, when the British luxury carmaker presented the Vanquish prototype alongside the Valhalla and the Valkyrie, at the Geneva Motor Show, Aston Martin enthusiasts have been waiting for the official release of the car. Luckily, the wait is almost over and there are several things that excite us about the forthcoming Vanquish.
The 2024 Aston Martin Vanquish Has An Incredibly Alluring Exterior
When you buy an Aston Martin, a Maserati or a Ferrari, you know every onlooker will stare at you. But this is probably one of the main reasons why most affluent individuals get these insanely beautiful cars in the first instance. The British automaker understands this too well, and they always build and design the most spectacular-looking vehicles.
Evidently, the 2024 Aston Martin Vanquish is no exception to the rule. The raised headlights, the round aerodynamic rear and the jumbo tires, everything about this vehicle is quite alluring, and no one can ignore due to how sensational it is.
The 2024 Aston Martin Vanquish Will Become The Company’s First Production Series Mid-Engine
Since 2019, when Aston Martin showcased the prototype of the 2024 Vanquish at the Geneva Motor Show, the world has changed a lot. We’ve been through a global pandemic, learned the joys of remote work and got a crash course in deadly viruses. But in the meantime, new technologies have been developed, and the car industry had to find new ways to overcome the chip shortage. On the positive side, market leaders like Aston Martin have continued to hatch experimental concepts and push the limits of the automotive industry.
A cool development that came from this period is that the 2024 Vanquish will not be powered by an AMG-sourced engine and Aston Martin will develop its own powertrain. Furthermore, the mid-engine will be placed behind the driver, so the position of the powertrain is also changed for the forthcoming Vanquish. Meanwhile, the hybrid 3.0-liter V6 powertrain is forecasted to generate roughly 700 horsepower.
The 2024 Aston Martin Vanquish Will Surely Come With A Comfy Interior
The interior styling, cabin design, and the tech features are still hush-hush, but we already know the mid-engined driving position will make it more spacious and comfortable for the two occupants. Moreover, the removal of the mini back seat that was present on the forerunners will make the 2024 Vanquish look and feel roomy.
No one can argue that Aston Martin doesn’t have the most luxurious interiors on the market, so fans of the brand can rest assured because even this hypercar won’t disappoint, as it will probably see the most insanely built cabin with cool tech options and the best finishes in the industry. Furthermore, Aston Martin will let buyers customized many of the interior features, so drivers can make it even more plush and comfy.
In Addition, The 2024 Aston Martin Vanquish Is Quite "Affordable" For A Supercar
The word “affordable” is not something we associate with hypercars. Let’s face it, most of them cost as much as premium lofts in the most acclaimed cities in the world. And yet, the 2024 Vanquish can be considered “affordable,” if we compare it to other hypercars. Although official prices haven’t been released yet, most industry experts agree that the new Aston Martin will have a MSRP of roughly $300,000.
It is worth noting that the 2024 Vanquish won’t be designed in collaboration with RedBull Racing Formula One Team, being made exclusively by the British automaker. Furthermore, the new hypercar won’t have the carbon-fiber tub, but a bonded-aluminum spaceframe. And more importantly, this is not a limited production vehicle, and the 2024 Aston Martin Vanquish will be a production series supercar. Also, the engine is not as powerful as the one used for the more famous and insanely expensive Valkyrie and Valhalla. All these developments explain why this is a hypercar destined more for the Nouveau- Riche than the Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerbergs of the world.
