Ian Callum has revealed the production version of his revised Vanquish 25 R-Reforged ...
Reviving an icon is never easy but if there is one person who could breathe new life into the Aston Martin Vanquish then it would have to be famous British car designer Ian Callum – formerly of Aston Martin and Jaguar who worked on the initial design.
Setting himself the challenge of rebooting the beloved V12 Vanquish into a bespoke, limited run series designer Ian Callum and R-Reforged, re-imagine this classic using new materials, advanced technologies and fresh inspiration.
Under the bonnet is a V12. But this is a V12 tuned by CALLUM. It delivers an extra 60bhp. It has a new sculpted carbon air box, valley brace and new engine cover, providing functionality in a beautiful package. Outside, the new bonnet vents carefully allow air into the engine bay. The custom carbon fiber air box, together with equal length primaries, helps the Vanquish 25 by CALLUM to sing. And out of the Integrated Diffuser Exhaust System comes a sound that you will love. This is a innovative design solution too, eliminating the clutter around the valance. And it’s smart engineering, because it also works as an aero device. Plus, for the first time with the Vanquish, the option of a fully automatic six-speed torque-converter gearbox.
Inside, the cabin has also had some serious modifications. Bridge of Weir Leather Company is responsible for a full re-trim in hide, accompanied by a choice of walnut veneer for those who prefer the classics, or carbon fiber for drivers wanting a more modern look, and once you've settle into the lower, ergonomic pre-sculpted seats your eyes (and your ears) will be drawn to the new centre console, which gives you an integrated audio system with CarPlay, Android Auto, Bluetooth and an eightinch media display.
The new Aston Martin CALLUM Vanquish 25 will be strictly limited to just 25 models all bespoke with prices expected to exceed £500,000
