Aston Martin’s fastest ever model will be making its world debut at the Paris Motor Show this month.

The new Vanquish has a top speed of 200mph and has a 6.0 litre V12 engine developing 520bhp, the Vanquish S has been designed to deliver even greater performance, complemented by suspension and steering changes and a number of interior and external style revisions.

"The Vanquish is our flagship model and the standard 460bhp will continue to be built," says Aston Martin CEO, Dr Ulrich Bez. "The latest Vanquish S is not only the fastest Aston Martin ever, but it is the best handling too. It is the ultimate high-performance Aston Martin."

Vanquish S customers will be eligible for a complimentary performance driving course. The course can be taken at one of three grounds – Millbrook in the UK, Lommel in Belgium, or Romeo, Michigan, in North America.
