The Ultimate Edition centers on changes to the Vanquish S’s color and trim. On the exterior, these changes include a unique ‘Ultimate Black’ – a new color that will only be available with this car. Inside, the Vanquish S cabin is trimmed in a semi-aniline leather, with coarse stitching, leather headlining and black chrome finish interior fittings. Each car will also be fitted with personalised sill plaques denoting the limited edition number.
The Vanquish S Ultimate Edition retains all performance capabilities of the standard Vanquish S – and accordingly its position as the fastest ever production Aston Martin, capable of a top speed in excess of 200mph (321km/h). No additional charge will be made for the Ultimate Edition, available only with the 2+2 seating arrangement.
For existing Vanquish customers, Aston Martin’s world renowned Works Service department will offer a new transmission conversion for owners of the company’s flagship model.
Existing Vanquish owners will now be able to order a transmission conversion from the car’s existing Auto Shift Manual (ASM) system, to a conventional stick-shift manual. Since its launch in 2001, the Vanquish has been equipped with fingertip controlled, Formula 1-style paddles. Switching an existing car from the F1 system to a regular manual will cost £13,250.
