Those lucky enough to be at Goodwood Festival of Speed may have caught a glimpse of the all-new Aston Martin Vanquish, purring its V12 engine up and down Goodwood hill. If there is such a thing as perfection then this may well be it. Am I being biased? Maybe a little, but I do love seeing fine British craftsmanship at its best.
CEO Dr Ulrich Bez formally unveiled the super grand tourer to a selected group of guests at The Film Museum in Covent Garden, London. He said he was very proud of his team’s efforts at perfecting the new Vanquish and is convinced that it will become one of the most admired and sought after cars on the roads.
