    AM Vanquish S

    I got a little invitation card from AM of Houston, got invited to their private viewing of the Vanquish S. Has anyone heard of Vanquish S?

    The letter says it has minor exterior upgrades as well as more hp & Torque Vs. Vanquish.

    vanquish S?

    i thought they only made a vanquish with 'clubsport' packadge

    with some tweaks, just like you said.

    they said 60% of owners will buy that option

    didnt know about a completely new version. mabye its just a pseudonym for vanquish with CS option?

    new vanquish out in 2~ years on the new DB9 platform.

    Re: AM Vanquish S

    You're right, the Vanquish is currently available with the sport package, stiffer suspensions, etc. But it's just chassis enhancement.
    The "S" version or whatever it's called will be presented in Paris (should be) and it'll have 500 hp plus to differentiate more from the DB9, while waiting for the completely new version.
    It will also allow it to be closer to the 575 in terms of power.
    Can't wait for the AMV8 though, I doubt it, but I hope we'll see it in Paris.

    hell yea!

    were it not for aston's suspect relability as well as scant dealer network (not a good combination) i would have sprung for a DB9 instead of the turbo S

    as for the vanquish S,

    i guess everyone is realizing that porsche's markting strategy, (as demonstrated to great success on the boxster/ boxster S) is worth copying

    I've seen the DB9 couple of times now in real and honestly I liked it more in pictures.
