''A slightly sportier, more focused approach to the current car but incorporating all of the elements that have made the V12 Vanquish the ultimate in Aston Martin motoring.” Said Dr Ulrich Bez, CEO for Aston Martin. “The Sports Dynamics pack will appeal to a very high proportion of customers and has been priced to encourage maximum take-up.”

Principle changes to the standard car were to the chassis/suspension and brakes. The front upright and wheel assembly were made stronger and stiffer with shorter springs (reducing ride height by 5mm) and revised dampers. Also the steering was made more highly geared to make it 20% quicker than previously. The front brake discs were increased to 378mm in diameter (up from 355), together with six pot calliper to replace the four pot items. The rear disc diameter remained unchanged at 330mm, although 2mm thicker than on the standard car.  

Best way to identify the Sport Dynamic variant from the standard car are the lightweight 9 slim spoke wheels (30% lighter than the 12 spoke - best wheels ever seen on a Vanquish) and new brake discs with an elliptical groove pattern. Below you can find pictures of the standard brakes and SDP version as well as the thicker front uprights.
