Beyond the bits you can see — like the new, if still subdued
design language, with its matrix LED headlights, OLED rear light strip and subtle blisters over each wheelarch, and the fresh new cabin with a high - quality and ultra-tasteful feel, the A8's

hybrid tech and a new touchscreen - based cockpit.
The Vanquish is based on a revised and stiffer 4th generation (Gen4) VH architecture, the tub has evolved to be a carbon and bonded
aluminium hybrid along with a new
design of engine brace, improved anodising and bonding which has increased structural stiffness by 30 %.
