The flagship of the Aston Martin range for the new Millennium is the V12 Vanquish. Whilst the Project Vantage was first seen in 1998 - a prototype designed to show the potential future direction of Aston Martin, the finished production car was finally unveiled at the 2001 Geneva Salon, The Vanquish is by far and away the most advanced car AML, or parent company Ford, have ever made.
