The Aston Martin Vanquish won the award for “The most beautiful Supercar of the Year” at The Festival Automobile International in Paris this week. The super GT has already been known for collecting numerous awards as the flagship of English sports cars.
An expert team, including world-renowned architect Jean-Michael Wimotte and Honorary President Ari Vatanen chaired the voting panel to award the Grand Prize for “the most beautiful and interesting projects of the year focusing on art and automobile.”
“The new Aston Martin Vanquish is an unmistakable visual interpretation of the brand’s ethos,” Marek Reichman, Design Director of Aston Martin said. “It is a triumph of both design and technical ability. As the new flagship of Aston Martin’s model range we are proud to win this prestigious design award, it makes a wonderful continued start to our birthday centenary year.”
The majority vote was given to the Vanquish and it took first place even while competing against a tough competition. The limited edition Laliques Bacchantes trophy awarded to Aston Martin represents the second time the British brand has acquired this prestigious prize with the luxurious four door sports car Rapide winning in 2010 (www.astonmartin.com).
Introduced in June 2012, the Vanquish will be viewable at the Festival Automobile International 2013 exhibition.
