Taking inspiration from the legendary DB-4 Zagato, Ian Callum
designed the Aston Martin Vanquish and changed the GT car market
forever. The 2003 Aston Martin V12 Vanquish S is definitely one of
the best dressed Aston Martin since the '60s and considered by many
to be one of the most attractive modern GT cars in existence. Made
cool by James Bond and made highly capable by a large V12 under the
hood this car had the requirements to qualify it as a modern
classic the day it was released. Upon its unveiling, the Vanquish
was around $220,000 USD (~$320,000 CND). Considering its
performance abilities and the impact this vehicle has made on
popular culture and automotive design we believe this car might be
one of the best bargains on the market today, a true dormant
classic. The 2003 V12 Vanquish is as beautiful as it is capable.
The huge power train is fast and thrilling. All of the timeless
character traits of this vehicle combine for an experience that
begs to be enjoyed over and over again. Its cars like this one that
gets you excited for long road trips and even more excited when you
forget something and have to turn around. Sometimes it can be
difficult to see into the future and predict what cars will be
deemed classics. But right from its release, the Vanquish possessed
all the ingredients required. Between the iconic styling, gorgeous
engine and cementing itself into popular culture, the Aston Martin
V12"
