Aston Martin last night heralded the arrival of Vanquish, its new V12 flagship sports car set to redefine driving dynamism for a new generation of drivers.
Amidst the starlit backdrop of the Venice International Film Festival, Aston Martin unveiled its highly anticipated, new Vanquish with a stunning reveal moment on the waters of the Venetian Lagoon. An intimate audience spanning the worlds of cinema, the arts, fashion and business gathered at the Marina Militare for the grand premiere and headline music performances from Grammy-nominated musician Masego, multi-award-winning Italian jazz performer Walter Ricci and international DJ James Righton.
Stars of cinema in attendance included five Academy Award winning actors. George Clooney, alongside wife Amal, joined Benedict Cumberbatch, Michael Douglas, Kevin Costner and Adrien Brody. In the year that Aston Martin celebrates the 60th anniversary of its iconic association with the James Bond films, other talent present included Bond actor Daniel Craig, alongside fellow British stars, Joe Alwyn and Micheal Ward.
They were joined by celebrated personalities from the worlds of entertainment, the arts and culture, including Australian actor and filmmaker Joel Edgerton, American actresses Haley Bennett and Cailee Spaeny, and BAFTA award-winning director Joe Wright.
The world of fashion was represented by three-time Academy Award winning costume designer Sandy Powell, and models Bianca Brandolini and Poppy Delevingne.
