About the V12 Vanquish Mk I

The 2001 Aston Martin V12 Vanquish Mk I is a rear-drive naturally aspirated saloon of 1,882 kg with 453 bhp, which works out at 241 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 241 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.26 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 2,069th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 65th quickest of the 84 Aston Martins here. Its 112.2 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 9 of 11 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Aston Martin V12 Vanquish Mk I 0-60 time?
The Aston Martin V12 Vanquish Mk I reaches 60 mph in 4.91 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 2,069th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Aston Martin V12 Vanquish Mk I quarter mile time?
13.17 s at 112.2 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 8.71 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.26 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Aston Martin V12 Vanquish Mk I have?
453 bhp and 1,882 kg, which is 241 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 322 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Aston Martin V12 Vanquish Mk I?
Closest here on pace: Holden Monaro 5.7 V8 387 (4.89 s), Infiniti M56 Mk IV (4.92 s), Cadillac STS-V (5.03 s). Each one can be raced against the Aston Martin V12 Vanquish Mk I in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Aston Martin V12 Vanquish Mk I is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 9 of its 11 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Figures regenerated 2026-10-12. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
