Aston Martin Vanquish (V12)
The Vanquish was Aston Martin's flagship at the dawn of the modern era — the first car to use the new aluminium/composite VH (Vertical/Horizontal) platform with bonded panels. Its 5.9-litre V12 produced 460 hp. Distinguished cameos in James Bond's "Die Another Day" cemented its icon status.
