Aston Martin V12 Vanquish

interpretation of Aston Martin V12 Vanquish

Unveiled at the 2015 Amelia Island Concours D’elegance in Florida, Henrik Fisker’s ‘Thunderbolt’ is a personal coupé interpretation of the Aston Martin ‘V12 Vanquish’. Its powerful exterior profile, formed from hand-laid, coach-built carbon fiber, showcases undeniable characteristics that are concurrent with the automotive designer’s past work. The body is clean, with no creases but has a deeply sculpted side air ducting and long, triangular air intakes on its large hood dome. Staying with the roof, the sportscar has panoramic dark tinted glass which leads down to the wraparound rear window and thin protruding, blade-like tail lamps. Matching this, the front also boasts a unique set of head lights and a distinctive aluminum grille.

Showcasing its interior glamor, the dash features a skeleton chronograph from the Swiss watch maker Maurice Lacroix, has trimmed leather surfaces by the Italian furniture manufacturer Natuzzi, and has a champagne bottle holder.
