THE VANQUISH & JAMES BOND
Many would have got their first sight of the Vanquish in the 2002 James Bond film "Die Another Day."

The 2nd Generation:
The Vanquish was re-styled in 2012 and is still in production, such as the one I have photographed here. The re-styling takes its inspiration from the DBS, and includes some tasteful Carbon-Fibre highlights. The 5.9 Litre V12 engine used in the Vanquish produces a healthy 565BHP which is then pushed via a 8-speed automatic gearbox. 0-100km/h is achieved in 3.6 seconds and the top speed is 324km/h. This car is no slouch in the performance stakes.
The car pictured sells for 23,000,000Bht in Thailand which is the equivalent of about $650,000USD.
