2025 Aston Martin Vanquish

2025 Aston Martin Vanquish

Aston Martin has a rich history of building high-end, high-performance sports cars with engines in the front, but now it's betting that legacy on a mid-engine future that includes the next-generation Vanquish. This drastic change in philosophy is still a couple of years in the making, but we have a handful of juicy details and lots of hopeful speculation to keep us interested in the meantime. Although the new Vanquish will share its basic layout with the forthcoming Valhalla and Valkyrie hypercars, it won't be limited in production or cost millions of dollars. It will feature a new hybrid V-8 powertrain that the company is sourcing from AMG. With its engine now located behind the driver, the 2025 Vanquish should be more of a match for competitors such as the Ferrari F8 and McLaren 720S.

Interior


The Vanquish nameplate will be entering new territory with the switch to a mid-engine layout. That means everything we've previously known about its interior has gone out the window, and our expectations for its new digs are solely based on speculation. We have heard that its cabin will be roomier than Aston's other upcoming mid-engine hypercars. Apart from the additional passenger space, it's hard to predict how the company will choose to outfit the Vanquish's cabin. There will no doubt be a vast amount of customization options, upscale materials, and racy elements throughout. If there's one thing we can say for sure, it's that the next-generation Vanquish will go without the tiny back seat that was present on its predecessor.

Engine


Aston Martin will likely be bolting an AMG-sourced twin-turbo 4.0-liter V-8 into the Vanquish, and it'll pair with two electric motors to form a plug-in-hybrid powertrain. That's a change from the hybrid 3.0-liter V-6 that the company had originally planned to be built in-house. While the Vanquish will have a version of the same powertrain found on the Valhalla, we think it's unlikely it'll make the same 937 horsepower. There might even be a chance that Aston offers an all-electric version of the Vanquish. Either way, we expect it to feature a bonded-aluminum spaceframe instead of the carbon-fiber tub that will be used on the company's hypercars. The lack of aggressive aerodynamic technology that adorned the concept suggests this Aston will be more of a grand tourer than its much more expensive track-focused siblings.
