You know what I didn't realize at first? Even though it's a Brit car - it's LHD! Must have been "hand built" for somebody that lives outside of the UK...

Any idea of the price tag? Even though it's hand built, I doubt it's as pricey as that 'batmobile Mercy-B' you posted a few days back.

Close...

Pricing starts at around £165 000 (in line with a reasonable house ). While many would argue this is a massive amount of money for a car, you do get what you pay for with the Vanquish. A hand built performance vehicle with great heritage, as much a status symbol as object of desire. This is not a car bought for its practicality, but for its character. The Vanquish stands proud as Aston Martin’s flagship model, and as one of the very finest cars in the world (proven with a 12 month minimum waiting list).

The new V12 Vanquish is the most sophisticated and technologically advanced new model ever to be designed and developed by Aston Martin. Built at Newport Pagnell, V12 Vanquish will become Aston Martins premier flagship model complementing the already well established DB7 Vantage models.
165,000 GBP = 275,011.41 USD

That is seriously sexy! It's got the best of both worlds - Bentleyesque luxury and near supercar performance, without being overtly ostentatious like an Arnage or Enzo. It would sure make a nice daily driver.

I'd be happy with the Maserati Cambiocorsa for half the price.

I'd rather have the MB CL600

Twin Turbo 5.5L V-12 baby. 585lb-ft of torque at 1800 rpm

You could get like...2 of those for a Vanquish.

I'm with BoOm. Does MB have a freakin' bottomless pit of torque they're hiding from everyone else? The E55 AMG throws down like 520 ft/lbs!!

PS - From the look of Aston Martin's website, all the Vanquishes are made LHD... unless they have separate sites for different markets. Aston Martin
