The 2026 Aston Martin Vanquish 25 is more than another limited-edition badge-and-paint package. Created to mark a quarter-century since the original Vanquish appeared in 2001, this anniversary model turns Aston Martin’s flagship grand tourer into an even rarer collector’s piece.
Just 50 cars will be built worldwide: 25 Vanquish Coupes and 25 Vanquish Volantes. Each one receives exclusive finishes developed by Q by Aston Martin, while keeping the spectacular twin-turbocharged V12 that makes the latest Vanquish one of the most dramatic grand tourers on sale.

Only 50 Cars Makes This Vanquish Instantly Special
Exclusivity is the real headline.
Aston Martin already positions the modern Vanquish at the top of its front-engined sports-car range, but the Vanquish 25 anniversary edition takes scarcity to another level. Production is split evenly between Coupe and open-top Volante models, with customers able to choose between 2+0 and 2+2 seating configurations.
That means the Vanquish 25 is not simply a celebration of the past. It is one of the most tightly limited versions of Aston Martin’s current flagship, giving it obvious appeal to collectors looking for something even less common than the standard V12 grand tourer.
Q Skye Silver Gives the Vanquish 25 Its Signature Look
There is no mistaking the anniversary model for a regular Vanquish.
Every Vanquish 25 is finished in exclusive Q Skye Silver, a paint developed specifically for the special edition. The finish appears brighter in direct light and darker in shadow, emphasizing the long hood, muscular rear haunches and dramatic proportions of Aston Martin’s flagship.
Q by Aston Martin then adds a series of more subtle details, including special metal-foil accents, stainless-steel side strakes, unique exhaust finishers and dedicated Vanquish 25 badging.
The anniversary treatment continues with exclusive 21-inch forged alloy wheels featuring a discreet “V” detail. Nothing radically changes the shape of the car, and that appears intentional. The Vanquish 25 is designed to reward a closer look rather than overwhelm the original design.
The Interior Looks Back to the Original Vanquish
The strongest links to the Vanquish’s history may be found inside.
Aston Martin has created unique perforation patterns and trim combinations for the anniversary edition, while the seats feature embroidered Vanquish 25 branding. Laser-etched Aston Martin detailing appears across the cabin, alongside a black Alcantara headlining.
One of the most noticeable touches is the bright red start/stop control, surrounded by bespoke detailing and designed as a nod to the original Vanquish.
Customers can select from Onyx Black, Oxford Tan or Phantom Grey interior themes, combining the modern cabin architecture with materials and design cues intended to connect the third-generation Vanquish with its predecessors.
The V12 Remains the Star of the Show
Aston Martin has not needed to chase a bigger headline horsepower figure for the Vanquish 25. The standard car’s engine already provides plenty of drama.
Under the hood sits the company’s 5.2-liter twin-turbocharged V12, producing 835 PS — approximately 824 hp — and 1,000 Nm of torque.
The Vanquish can accelerate from 0 to 62 mph in 3.3 seconds and reach a claimed 214-mph top speed. MotorTrend has also recorded a 3.3-second 0-60 mph run and an 11.2-second quarter-mile in its testing of the current Vanquish Coupe.
Those numbers matter, but they are only part of the appeal. At a time when large twelve-cylinder engines are becoming increasingly unusual, Aston Martin is using the Vanquish 25 to celebrate both the history of one model and the continued existence of the V12 grand tourer itself.
25 Years After the Original Vanquish, the Formula Still Works
The first V12 Vanquish made its public debut at the Geneva Motor Show in 2001. It represented a major technological step for Aston Martin and introduced a name that would eventually span three generations.
The second-generation Vanquish followed in 2012, bringing extensive carbon-fiber bodywork and a more modern interpretation of Aston Martin’s grand-touring formula.
The name returned again in 2024 with today’s third-generation model, this time powered by the 5.2-liter twin-turbo V12 and positioned as the pinnacle of Aston Martin’s front-engined range.
The Vanquish 25 therefore has an unusually clear mission: connect those three eras without turning the latest car into a retro design exercise.
When Will the Aston Martin Vanquish 25 Arrive?
The Aston Martin Vanquish 25 is scheduled to make its global public debut during Monterey Car Week, August 10-16, 2026, in California.
First customer deliveries are planned for the fourth quarter of 2026.
Aston Martin has not announced official pricing for the limited-edition model, but with just 50 examples being produced and extensive involvement from Q by Aston Martin, exclusivity is clearly a bigger part of the story than value.
Why the Vanquish 25 Could Become a Serious Collector Car
There are faster cars. There are more radically styled cars. And there will inevitably be more powerful cars.
But combining a front-mounted V12, an iconic Aston Martin name, bespoke craftsmanship and a production run of only 50 examples creates something much harder to replicate.
The 2026 Aston Martin Vanquish 25 arrives as both a celebration and a reminder: 25 years after the first Vanquish, Aston Martin still believes a flagship grand tourer should deliver beauty, excess and a little bit of theater.
For the 50 owners who secure one, the Vanquish 25 may ultimately be remembered as one of the defining V12 Aston Martins of its era.
