The Details
This 2018 Aston Martin Vanquish S Coupe presents in China Grey over an All Dark Knight leather interior, showing 3,748 miles from new in completely stock, unmodified condition, with the original window sticker present. The 2018 model year carries a significance that has only grown more apparent in the years since production ended — the Vanquish S represents Aston Martin's final naturally aspirated V12, a powertrain whose lineage traces directly to the company's defining character, before the transition to AMG-sourced turbocharged engines that followed with the DBS Superleggera. For collectors drawn to the last expressions of a particular engineering philosophy, the provenance of the 2018 Vanquish S is unambiguous.
Power comes from Aston Martin's naturally aspirated 6.0-liter V12, producing 580 horsepower and paired with the Touchtronic III ZF eight-speed automatic transmission — capable of shifting in 130 milliseconds — driving the rear wheels through a limited-slip differential. The engine delivers its power without hesitation to a top speed of 201 mph, with throttle response and an aural character that the forced-induction engines of its successors have not replicated. The V12's naturally aspirated configuration produces a linear, building power delivery that rises through the rev range in a manner entirely consistent with Aston Martin's grand touring brief — a car equally capable of effortless long-distance crossings and spirited back-road work, without demanding that the driver choose between the two.
The Vanquish S features a carbon fibre 2x2 twill front splitter and rear diffuser, improving high-speed stability while accentuating the exterior's visual presence aerodynamic revisions introduced alongside the S specification that sharpened the second-generation Vanquish's appearance meaningfully over the standard car. This example was optioned extensively to a total MSRP of $341,497, with a specification that includes the Exterior Carbon Pack, Exterior Shadow Pack, Full Graphics Pack, Facia Full Length Satin Chopped Carbon, and 5-Spoke Gloss Black GT Lightweight wheels — a carbon and blacked-out visual package that works with particular coherence against the China Grey body. Additional options include ventilated front seats, black brake calipers, contrast stitching, Alcantara Contemporary trim, Contemporary leather colour, black interior trim pack, black paddleshifts, black meshes, centre stack rotaries in black, headrest embroidery with Aston Martin wings, silver seatbelts, and the 2+2 seating arrangement. Final assembly was carried out at Aston Martin's Gaydon facility in Warwickshire, UK, as confirmed by the original window sticker present with the car.
The interior reflects Aston Martin's artistry in combining leather, metal, and carefully selected materials the All Dark Knight leather cabin, with its contrast stitching, Alcantara detailing, and embroidered headrests, communicates the Vanquish S's dual identity as both a performance machine and a hand-finished grand tourer. The combination of carbon exterior elements and a deeply trimmed, dark leather interior produces a specification that prioritizes visual coherence and understated drama over ostentation — appropriate to a car whose character is defined by restraint as much as performance.
At 3,748 miles, this Vanquish S has been preserved to a degree that leaves all original components, finishes, and materials in a condition consistent with the odometer. Completely stock throughout and accompanied by its original window sticker, it arrives to its next owner as Aston Martin built and specified it — unaltered and fully documented, at a mileage that the market will find increasingly difficult to replicate as surviving low-mileage examples of the final naturally aspirated Aston Martin V12 continue to be absorbed into long-term collections.
