Drawing inspiration from the classic DB4 GT Zagato, the first-generation Aston Martin V12 Vanquish was designed by Ian Callum and launched in 2001 featuring a bonded aluminum composite chassis with a carbon fiber backbone, and a naturally aspirated 5.6-liter V12 engine. The updated Vanquish S model debuted in 2004 with revised styling, stiffer suspension, larger brakes, a quicker steering ratio, and a more powerful V12 rated at 520 HP. This 2006 Aston Martin V12 Vanquish S is finished in Carbon Black over a black and grey leather/Alcantara interior. It equips a 6-speed automated manual transaxle, paddle shifters, heated power-adjustable seats, a quilted Alcantara headliner, rear parking sensors, red brake calipers, and 19” alloy wheels. Originally sold in the United States, it was imported to Canada in 2014 and acquired by the seller about two years ago. One of only 1,086 examples produced in total, this V12 Vanquish S is now being offered for auction with approximately 28k miles on the odometer.

The Aston Martin V12 Vanquish S can be distinguished from a standard Vanquish model by its integrated rear spoiler, larger front grille, and front spoiler. The hand-finished aluminum bodywork includes traditional straked fender vents, a vented hood, fog lights, prominent rear fenders, and dual polished exhaust outlets. This example is presented in Carbon Black paint and features red Aston Martin-branded brake calipers mounted behind silver 19” eleven-spoke alloy wheels. It rides on Pirelli P Zero tires from 2022. The seller indicates consistent paint meter readings throughout the exterior and describes the finish to be in exceptional condition given the car’s age and mileage.

The two-seater cabin is upholstered with black and grey Bridge of Weir leather upholstery complemented by decorative stitching, contrasting Alcantara seat centers, and a quilted Alcantara headliner. Amenities include heated and power-adjustable sport seats, a three-spoke black leather steering wheel with paddle shifters, white instrument dials, black carpet floor mats with contrast edging, a rear parcel shelf, automatic climate control, rear parking sensors, an engine start button, an analog clock, a CD stereo, and a navigation system. All accessories and electronics are said to be working properly. The CARFAX report shows a mileage inconsistency in 2024 which likely resulted from a clerical error during registration, and the seller ensures the mileage shown on the odometer is accurate.

The Vanquish S is powered by a naturally aspirated 5.9-liter V12 DOHC engine. Up to 520 HP and 425 lb.-ft of torque is sent to the rear wheels through an electro-hydraulically operated 6-speed automated manual transaxle and a limited-slip differential. Compared to a standard V12 Vanquish, the S model incorporates stiffer springs and dampers, a 20% quicker steering response, larger 6-piston front brake calipers, and floating grooved brake discs at each corner.

This sale will include owner’s manuals and a clean Canadian title.

The seller would like you to know: “Only 2,589 production cars were ever built, 1,503 as standard V12 Vanquish and 1,086 V12 Vanquish S. When the exhaust valves open at 5000 rpm it's a v12 symphony of high notes. V12 Vanquish is a car beloved by modern-day enthusiasts and also heritage collectors alike. The car's appearance in 'Die Another Day' ensured its place in James Bond history and has helped to make this an instantly recognizable model. Importantly, Vanquish saw huge developments in engineering and design, many of which formed the basis for the development of the current Aston Martin model line-up. As with the standard car, the S could have been ordered as either a 2 seater (2+0) with a shelf for luggage or a 2+2 with rear seats only suitable for small children, this particular example has the rare luggage shelf option. The V12 Vanquish S interior has some differences from the original car. The central backlit etched glass starter button had already been taken from the DB9 but the big change came with the whole centre console covered in leather instead of being painted. For the 2006MY V12 Vanquish S, the interior received a DB9 inspired make-over to the centre console. The a new 6.5 inch full colour satellite navigation system screen. V12 Vanquish featured a body tub made from extruded aluminium and Carbon Fibre with extensive use of more Carbon Fibre and composite materials throughout the crash structure of the car. This extremely rigid and safe body-shell was then clothed in hand-finished, superformed aluminum panels. Underneath the handmade bonnet sat a 460bhp version of the Aston Martin V12 engine, delivering its power via a 6-speed manual gearbox controlled by an electro-hydraulic paddle shift gear change. Building on the sales success of the original Vanquish, Vanquish S featured an increase in engine power (up from 460bhp to 520bhp) and revised gear and back axle ratios. Top speed was quoted as being in excess of 200mph, making it one of the fastest Aston Martin road cars built at Newport Pagnell.”
