When the Aston Martin Vanquish entered production in 2001, it represented the pinnacle of Aston Martin's model range. Its body was reinforced with carbon fiber and built around an aluminum chassis.
The cars were equipped with Aston Martin's V12 engine, 32V, 459 hp. The Vanquish 1 can do 0-100 km/h in 5,0 seconds and reach a top speed of 306 km/h. From 2004 an upgrade came in the form of Vanquish S with more horsepower and some visual changes, including the rear bodywork being shaped into a spoiler with integrated brake light. Claimed acceleration from 0-100 km/h was 4,8 seconds and top speed was 333 km/h.
Based on VIN numbers, I have found 8 Vanquish 1 cars in Norway, 5 of which are Vanquish S.
