It\u2019s always been very Aston, but pieces were often borrowed from other places.<\/p>\n<p>The very first Vanquish, the iconic 2001 model, used various Ford parts. The key, for example, was basically borrowed from a 2005 Ford Fusion. In fact, the V-12 was largely developed by Ford\u2014at the time, Ford owned Aston Martin. The 2007 DBS used a Volvo infotainment system. Then, the 2018 DBS Superleggera used Mercedes-Benz electronics.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, though, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.motor1.com\/reviews\/738625\/2025-aston-martin-vanquish-first-drive-review\/\" data-inline-widget=\"internal-links\" data-type-id=\"0\" data-params=\"%7B%22article_edition_id%22%3A%22738625%22%2C%22section%22%3A%222%22%2C%22alias%22%3A%222025-aston-martin-vanquish-first-drive-review%22%7D\">this latest Vanquish<\/a> doesn\u2019t borrow anything from other automakers. It is, possibly, for the first time ever, a thoroughbred Aston Martin.<\/p>\n<p>The twin-turbo V-12 is fully Aston. Even though it is technically based on that original V-12 co-developed with Ford, the unit is so comprehensively reengineered that it\u2019s practically all-new. As always, the chassis and dynamics are fully Aston, with its lovely bonded aluminum frame and dual wishbone suspension at all four wheels.<\/p>\n<p>That gorgeous exterior is purely Aston Martin. Long. Low. Imposing. But what seals the deal is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.motor1.com\/news\/716490\/2025-aston-martin-dbx707-interior-updated\/\" data-inline-widget=\"internal-links\" data-type-id=\"0\" data-params=\"%7B%22article_edition_id%22%3A%22716490%22%2C%22section%22%3A%221%22%2C%22alias%22%3A%222025-aston-martin-dbx707-interior-updated%22%7D\">Aston\u2019s new interior<\/a>, with its thunk thunk thunk switches and knobs, and its native infotainment. Aston was also one of the first automakers to adopt CarPlay Ultra, which is a mixed bag.<\/p>\n<p>Yet, the new Vanquish is almost beyond reproach. For a car fully developed by the small but well-funded automaker, it\u2019s an Aston that represents a true world-class effort rather than the whimsy of a boutique automaker.<\/p>\n<p>But in order to find out just how good it is, you\u2019ll have to watch our latest video review\u2014which you can see embedded above.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.motor1.com\/reviews\/770635\/mclaren-750s-video-review\/\">The McLaren 750S Is the Enthusiast&#8217;s Supercar: Video Review<\/a><br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.motor1.com\/reviews\/769813\/2025-cadillac-ct5-v-blackwing-precision-package-video\/\">The Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing Precision Package Is the Answer: Video Review<\/a><br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.motor1.com\/reviews\/765589\/2025-acura-integra-type-s-video-review\/\">The Acura Integra Type S Isn&#8217;t Worth the Extra Money: Video Review<\/a><br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.motor1.com\/reviews\/761280\/porsche-911-gts-hybrid-video-review\/\">Is the 911 Hybrid Still a True Porsche?
