When the original Aston Martin Vanquish was launched, its £150,000 price tag, 460bhp 6.0-litre V12 and near-two-tonne weight made it a luxury GT car which left a vivid impression on Steve Sutcliffe. Its stonking mid-range was in little doubt, but has time been less kind to its parts-bin interior? And, how does it compare to the all-new Vanquish? This is now a car which uses carbon fibre to keep its weight down and has 565bhp under the hood.
