The Aston Martin Vanquish was first seen as a production model in 2000 and it would enter the car markets in 2001. This grand tourer is the result of a concept car which Aston Martin had been working on, which was best known as the ‘Project Vantage’. It would quickly become the brand’s mainstream model for the years of its lifespan.
