The Vanquish wasn't just a buggy — it was a mechanical marvel etched in dirt and asphalt. This VQS isn't just a re-issue; it's a masterfully composed sequel. Every tweak, from the subtly refined suspension geometry to the differentials inherited from the 2011 re-issue Avante, makes this VQS a love letter to the original, meticulously crafted for the modern era.

Including a pre-cut, pre-painted body which gives you a factory-quality finished paint job — just place the decals the way you want them and you'll be ready to relive the original.
