Aston Martin Vanquish

A look and feel in the last Mission impossible 007 film did this model's image no harm whatsoever.

Not too such fame will get a new kind of person (very wealthy, self-motivated with a dearly-defined fashion sense) that's prone to buy this 190mph (305kph) super car, immediately identifiable Aston-Martin imagery conceal an enormously sophisticated car; your body shell is done from graphite and aluminium alloys, the V12 engine is mated to some six-speed manual transmission with electronic paddle-action handheld remote control, and so on.

Yet for all your car's sophistication the driver remains wholly involved; Vanquish puts driving pleasure at its heart.
