How good does this Callum Vanquish Shooting Brake look?

Ian Callum has been playing with the Vanquish again. Won’t somebody let him make this thing?

Published: 14 Aug 2025

Remember Ian Callum’s updated take on the original Aston Martin Vanquish? Well, he wants to make it more… practical. We approve, because what better way to improve a supercar than by making it possible to bring dogs along for the ride?

We first saw a single angle of this VC25 Shooting Brake concept back in May 2023, but now it has been rendered in a lovely new colour and looks pretty much ready for production. Unfortunately, Callum says that it is still “purely conceptual” for now, but that interested parties should get in touch.

Of course, with the new rear end it might cost slightly more than the £550,000 required for one of the standard VC25s, but you will be getting a big V12 Aston with 580bhp, Bilstein dampers, the option of a manual gearbox and space for your furry pals.

Come on then Internet. Who’s going to take the plunge?
