Aston Martin Vanquish 
These two cars are essentially large GTs (Grand Turismo) in the noblest sense of the term. The rejuvenated Aston Martin DB9 is still offered as a coupe or as a cabriolet known as the Volante. Its engine is a powerful 510-hp 6.0L V12 paired with a six-speed automatic transmission. The 565-hp Vanquish is nothing short of breathtaking. Regardless of the trim, exclusivity is guaranteed.
