Aston Martin is launching the Vanquish 25, a limited-production special edition celebrating 25 years of its flagship nameplate. Limited to 50 units globally, the model features bespoke design elements from the Q by Aston Martin division and will make its public debut at Monterey Car Week in August.
Design and Bespoke Specifications
The Vanquish 25 serves as a commemorative bridge between the original 2001 model and the current third-generation flagship, which launched in 2024. Created by Q by Aston Martin, the brand’s bespoke personalization arm, the production run is capped at 50 vehicles. These are split evenly between 25 Coupe and 25 Volante body styles, with buyers offered a choice between 2+0 or 2+2 seating configurations.
Visually, the special edition is distinguished by a specific Q Skye Silver exterior finish. The detailing package includes metal-foil accents on the side sills and grille vanes, bespoke Aston Martin script-foil detailing, and stainless steel side strakes. The exterior aesthetic is finished with unique “Vanquish 25” badging and 21-inch forged alloy wheels that feature subtle “V” highlights.
Inside the cabin, the bespoke treatment continues with laser-etched trim inlays, exclusive perforated upholstery patterns, and seatbacks embroidered with the “Vanquish 25” logo. A bright red engine start button, surrounded by custom rotary geometry, serves as a focal point on the center console. Owners can select from three primary interior color palettes: Onyx Black, Oxford Tan, or Phantom Grey, all paired with a black Alcantara headlining.
Performance Credentials and Mechanical Foundation
While the Vanquish 25 introduces significant aesthetic changes, the mechanical platform remains consistent with the standard third-generation flagship. The vehicle is powered by a 5.2-litre twin-turbocharged V12 engine that produces 614kW—or 835PS—and 1000Nm of torque.
This powertrain allows the car to maintain its status as a top-tier performer. According to reporting on the technical specifications, the vehicle achieves a 0-100km/h time of approximately 3.3 seconds and is capable of reaching a top speed of 344km/h. The car utilizes a bespoke chassis designed for advanced dynamics, paired with carbon-fibre bodywork.
Heritage and Market Positioning
The Vanquish nameplate has functioned as the pinnacle of Aston Martin’s front-engined sports car range since its 2001 debut at the Geneva Motor Show. Vittorio Gabba, Head of Q by Aston Martin, emphasized the significance of the milestone in the company’s modern timeline.
“25 years on from the unveiling of the very first Vanquish it is only right that we mark this nameplate’s contribution to our heritage. 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 release comes as high-end collectors continue to show strong demand for limited-production vehicles. The vehicle is scheduled to make its public debut at Monterey Car Week in California this August, with the first customer deliveries expected to commence during the fourth quarter of 2026.
