The Beauty Of The Aston Martin

By Joseph Archibald

Aston Martin manufactured the Vanquish in Newport Pagnell, United Kingdom. This model was first launched in 2001. It was intended to be a Grand Tourer vehicle. Aston Martin has made hand-crafted vehicles like the Vanquish but this model is the last of this type. The car manufacturer has been making cars for forty-nine years already. It has trusted and highly skilled workers who also worked on the Vanquish model for forty-eight days within eight hours per day. These workers showed their craft in the vehicle's beautiful exterior and bodywork.

Aston Martin though faced issues about the originality of the engines of the Vanquish model. There were doubts about the engine being made by Ford, the Ford Duratec three liter engines. However, Vanquish has a 5.9 litre V12 engine, 460 bhp. This engine is really different from that of Duratec.

Initially, the engine of the Vanquish is compared to that of the Ford. According to critics, the engine was mistaken to be similar with 2 Ford Duratec engines that use 3 liters. However, the engine is completely unique to Aston Martin and used 4600 bhp in its V12 engine that can use as much as 5.9 liters.

However, Aston Martin resolved this issue with regards to the gearbox by producing another Vanquish model called the Ultimate Edition Vanquish in 2007. The car manufacturer made forty cars installed with the perfect gearbox in order to improve the car's shifting. The company even offered to have this new type of gearbox installed in the previous Vanquish models which have gearbox problems.

To solve the criticisms, Aston Martin released the Vanquish S in 2005. This makes the dissatisfaction of the customers about the earlier version lesser. This new version came up with a strong horse power of 520. It can run as much as 240miles per hour. Even more, from its rest position, the car can run up to 60mph even after 4.7seconds. It also has a new pack that allows for maneuverability, steering, and braking. Even more, it still has its acclaimed beauty and interior design.

One more endeavor to bring down the dislike of many is the 2005 Vanquish S. It has the ability to reach 240 miles per hour, has 520 horse power, and it can accelerate from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 4.7 seconds. Instead of an extra component, all the models of the S series has "Sports Dynamic Pack". The pack is made to enhance the functioning of the vehicle's braking, maneuverability, and steering.

Unfortunately, shortly after the release of the newer version, Aston Martin stopped the production of the Vanquish. Instead, it released the DBS model which was based on the acclaimed and praised DB9 model.

It is believed that Aston Martin will relieve the Vanquish and will even make it better by 2010. But this rumor stays a rumor because of some situation and events that will perhaps make it sadly untrue. - 21392
