The Aston Martin V12
Vanquishcar is a supercar manufactured by Aston Martin
since 2001. It rose to fame after being featured as
the official James Bond car in Die Another Day, the
twentieth James Bond film. In the film, the Vanquishcar
has the usual Bond film embellishments, including active
camouflage which rendered the vehicle virtually invisible.
The Vanquish car is powered by a 5.9 L (5935 cc) 48-valve
60° V12 engine, which produces 343 kW (460 hp) and
542 N·m (400 ft·lbf) of torque. It is
controlled by a fly-by-wire throttle and a 6 speed 'paddle
shift' or semi-automatic transmission. A special V12
Vanquish S debuted at the 2004 Paris Auto Show with
the power upped to 388 kW (520 hp) and 577 N·m
(426 ft·lbf).
