The second generation Aston Martin Vanquish was unveiled in the London Film Museum, Covent Garden, followed by its international debut at the 2012 Monterey Car Week. The exterior styling of the Vanquish is an evolution of the DBS with many styling cues such as the elongated side strakes being inspired by the One-77. The boot lid included an integrated rear spoiler designed to look as if it is impossible to make.

In 2013, Aston Martin unveiled a convertible variant of the Vanquish, called Volante. The Volante had a full carbon fibre body, triple-skin lightweight fabric roof, 50% larger boot than its predecessor and Carbon Ceramic Matrix brake discs with six-piston front and four-piston rear brake callipers. The Vanquish Volante is 13% torsionally stiffer than the outgoing DBS Volante.

In August 2014, Aston Martin revealed technical modifications to the Vanquish. The changes included a new eight-speed Touchtronic III gearbox and upgraded V12 engine that had a power output of 568 hp. The changes greatly enhanced performance, with an acceleration of 0 to 62mph being achieved in 3.6 seconds, and onto a top speed of 201 mph.

On 16 November 2016, Aston Martin announced the new Vanquish S model. The Vanquish S features the same V12 engine, with power now increased to 595 hp, and a new aerodynamic package. The Vanquish S can accelerate from 62 mph in 3.5 seconds but the top speed remains unchanged at 201 mph.
