CHASSIS, DYNAMICS AND SUSPENSION
Resolute rigidity
Vanquish's bonded aluminium body dictates exceptional lateral and horizontal stiffness, enhancing handling precision. An engine cross brace improves torsional rigidity and lateral stiffness between front suspension towers. With double wishbone front and multi-link rear suspension, it achieves optimal control.
Optimised chassis stiffness
Vanquish is equipped with stiffer cross-members, undertrays, rear bulkhead and a lateral transmission damper, designed to enhance control over the forces generated by lateral motion between the drivetrain and body structure during dynamic driving. By minimising this movement, stability is significantly improved, resulting in enhanced dynamic behaviour and increased driver confidence.
Conquer in any mode
Vanquish offers four predefined drive modes and an individual mode. GT mode retains luxurious ride quality, with torque shaping deployed to tame the monstrous V12 in everyday driving. Sport and Sport + modes deliver progressively unmatched response and tighter body control, redefining Vanquish’s dynamic supremacy. Wet mode for unrivalled stability on low-grip surfaces guarantees paramount safety and control in challenging conditions.
Unparalleled bandwidth
The latest Bilstein DTX damper technology delivers a significant increase in force bandwidth between drive modes over the outgoing car. This broader range of damper force provides greater refinement and control across the settings. With bespoke calibration, Vanquish handles bumps and slopes effortlessly. Increased body stiffness and a longer wheelbase create a robust chassis, while optimised suspension bush stiffness minimises unwanted road feedback.
Balanced to the extreme
Vanquish embraces nearly perfect balance with near 50/50 weight distribution (50.6% front and 49.4% rear). Classically configured with a front mid-engine and rear-wheel drive, this design achieves optimal balance and poise, ensuring unmatched handling and supreme control.
