The new Aston Martin Vanquish Vision Concept goes further than a prototype

The future of Aston Martin is more than exciting, and projects such as the Aston Martin Vanquish Vision Concept only confirm it

Aston Martin has shown a strong arsenal of novelties at the Geneva Motor Show, from “old” acquaintances such as the brand-new Aston Martin Valkyrie, to its most fascinating proposals for the future, among them this Aston Martin Vanquish Vision Concept, which is more than a simple prototype, since the manufacturer itself sets 2022 as the launch year for the definitive version.

To begin with, Aston Martin CEO Andy Palmer has already declared that the Aston Martin Vanquish Vision Concept is the brand’s proposal to enter a ring where the fighters are proven heavyweights, such as the McLaren 720S or another of the new arrivals at the Swiss show, the new Ferrari F8 Tributo.

Be that as it may, the production Aston Martin Vanquish Vision Concept that will bring the production version to life draws its inspiration from the futuristic line opened by the Aston Martin Valkyrie and continued with the Aston Martin Project 003, a sports car that definitively changes its name to Aston Martin AM-RB 003.

The return of the Aston Martin Vanquish

Indeed, there is a Aston Martin Vanquish in the current Aston Martin range, but the Aston Martin Vanquish Vision Concept proposes a Vanquish with an engine mounted in an aluminium chassis in a mid-rear position, whereas the current model places its engine block ahead of the cabin.

Therefore, we are talking about a production model that anticipates the Aston Martin Vanquish Vision Concept with its engine behind the driver’s cabin, with a obsessively refined design to be highly efficient in cutting through the air, a reduced weight and a distinguished but simpler aesthetic than the Aston Martin Valkyrie and the Aston Martin AM-RB 003.

A sculpture: that is the future Aston Martin Vanquish Vision Concept, simple and attractive; light and powerful; muscular and sinuous; athletic and dynamic. A completely updated Aston Martin Vanquish.

The electrified heart of the Aston Martin Vanquish Vision Concept

For this reason, the mechanics of the Aston Martin Vanquish Vision Concept will be those of a hybrid car. A main six-cylinder petrol engine in a V configuration, supported by two turbos and an electric system that increases power and reduces consumption.

A new twin-turbo V6 hybrid engine that Aston Martin will design and manufacture exclusively and that will directly receive part of the knowledge acquired from its partner, both technological and strategic, Red Bull Advanced Technologies and Red Bull Racing, the Formula 1 team, through its participation in this motorsport discipline, about which no further information has yet been released.
