Aston Martin has launched the 2012 Vanquish in India. The automobile manufacturer has gone for a bit of aggression with the big carbon splitter up front and the diffuser and a gorgeous spoiler that rises out of the body work. Powered by a 573PS 6.0-litre V12 engine and mated to a Touchtronic 2 six-speed automatic gearbox, the Vanquish races from 0-100 kmph in a claimed 4.1 seconds and attains a top speed of 295 kmph.

    I wonder how Vanquish falls into the \"greenest\" part. I agree that it is classy, luxurious and what not, but it is definitely not the greenest car out there !
