Aston Martin’s range-topping GT, the Vanquish S, is nearing the end of its run as the British marque’s top dog, and to give it a proper sendoff, a special edition will be built. The Vanquish S Ultimate Edition, limited to just 40 cars, will be finished in a model-specific Ultimate Black paint. Inside, the all-black cabin will feature dark chrome accents, exclusive leather and stitching treatments, and of course, the requisite special-model plaques informing the occupants which number of the forty cars they’re riding in. The Vanquish S powertrain is unchanged, and given that it’s good for 200 mph, it’s not as if it needed anything. Pricing will also be in line with the standard Vanquish S.
In other news relating to the Vanquish, Aston Martin’s Works Service division has announced the availability of a kit that will allow existing customers to have their cars converted from the standard paddle-shifter setup to a true stick-shift manual gearbox. Pricing for that bit of surgery starts at £13,250 + VAT.
