The optional new carbon fiber bonnet louvers help to maintain ideal engine temperature for a perfect drive and allow the vehicle to reach high speeds effortlessly.
The 2018 Aston Martin Vanquish S has all-new 20-inch cast 10-spoke gloss black painted wheels. There are also some new options available between forged 5-spoke gloss black diamond turned wheels and forged 5-spoke silver painted diamond turned wheels. These wheels are fitted with 20-inch tyres that offer superior grip on the roads under any condition.
At the rear of the vehicle are LED taillights that have retained their design and style. Also at the rear are new quad exhaust outlets with bright taillight finishers that generate the real sports car sound to get the hearts of the sports car enthusiasts racing.
