Aston Martin has unveiled the limited edition Vanquish 25 to commemorate the grand touring model’s 25th anniversary.

First introduced in 2001 as the V12 Vanquish, the second- and third-generation models dropped the V12 reference from their name, but retained 12-cylinder firepower under the bonnet.

To celebrate the quarter-century milestone, Aston Martin’s in-house Q division will equip 25 examples of the Vanquish coupe and 25 Vanquish Volante convertibles with a range of silver anniversary appearance and equipment options.

Interior treatments for the Vanquish 25 include laser-etched Aston Martin trim inlays on the door cards, ‘25’ logo embroidery for the headrests, a red engine starter button, specially-designed trim perforations on the seat bolsters, and a choice of interior trims including Onyx Black, Oxford Tan, or Phantom Grey.

From the outside, the Vanquish 25 editions can be identified by Q Skye silver paint, metal foil detailing on the grille and side vent vanes, ‘Vanquish 25’ badging, foil-stamped Aston Martin badging and a unique finisher panel for the rear finisher, and Q Commission design exhaust tip finishers.

Aston Martin’s 21-inch Y-spoke alloy wheels have also been reconfigured with a two-tone finish that highlights the V design within the spokes.

Vittorio Gabba, Head of Q at Aston Martin, said in a statement, “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.”

Mechanical details remain the same as the regular Vanquish, with a 5.2-litre twin-turbo V12 engine producing 614kW and 1000Nm, driving the rear wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission. Vanquish coupe models can hit 100km/h in 3.3 seconds, followed by the Vanquish Volante at 3.4 seconds.
