Aston Martin AM310 Vanquish – The Next BOND Car

Bond’s favorite car brand has recently added a new member in its family, its Aston Martin AM310 Vanquish. Launched as a successor to Aston Martin DBS, the Aston Martin AM 310 Vanquish features a stunning visual design with some new styling cues including a new side profile, elongated side strakes and LED rear light blades taken from the Aston Martin One-77.

The British supercar features next generation VH architecture where each body pane is made of carbon fiber. The body shell torsional rigidity has been improved by over 25 percent, according to the manufacturer.

In comparison, the Vanquish is 55 kg lighter than DBS and has a 50/50 weight distribution but it’s slightly slower than the DBS.
