Aston Martin in Venice: Veni. Vidi. Vanquish.

Luxury British sports car (I was going to say manufacturer, but sometimes 'creator' seems more appropriate) marque Aston Martin unveils its new Vanquish on the waters of the Venetian Lagoon against the backdrop of the Venice International Film Festival. Aston Martin, founded in 1913, is associated with the 007 series of urbanely high-octane James Bond spy movies, starting with the iconic Scottish actor Sean Connery. Several other screen legends - including US actor Michael Douglas and the most recent 007, Daniel Craig - were there to rate the newcomer. The marque says that: "A select audience from 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". In recent years, Aston Martin has hit the headlines by going into Formula One racing under its own brand name, and - less thrillingly - developing an SUV line. Again according to the rband itself: "Vanquish will be Aston Martin’s highest performance sports car in its core product line-up, and its most exclusive, with production limited to no greater than 1,000 examples per year. Unique in this portfolio, Vanquish is the sole model to feature a bespoke, Aston Martin developed 12-cylinder engine. Revived for the first time since 2018, this will be the third Aston Martin generation to be christened with the famous Vanquish nameplate. The original V12 edition launched in 2001 has played a prominent on-screen role in cinema, driven by James Bond in the 2002 film Die Another Day and making appearances in other films of the 2000s such as Lara Croft: Tomb Raider and The Italian Job". For the slogan, the marque plays with the Latin phrase 'veni, vidi, vici', popularly attributed to Julius Caesar, and used to refer to a swift, conclusive victory.
