The project of the all new Vanquish VQ58 series is being built for an owner who wishes to blend keynote elements from three of our driver’s boats. The starboard side garage arrangement of the VQ50 is combined with the successful features of the best-selling VQ54 in a hardtop version and the cool styling elements of the new VQ65 to create a stunning sport yacht that is sure to be an instant hit with Vanquish fans.  At the heart of the VQ58 concept is a flexible sport yacht that combines the best when it comes to speed, comfort and layout. The VQ58 can be offered in three different interior layouts; two large en-suite forward and midships cabins, dinette forward with two guest cabins at midships, or central tender garage and a dinette with forward double berth open plan layout.  There is also three layout for the main deck, with changes concentrated in the central part around the dinette and exterior galley wet-bar area. In developing the hardtop for the VQ58, Vanquish designed it in a way that would be equally suited for an open-top or T-top model in the future.  The Vanquish VQ58 Hardtop can be powered by standard Cummins 600hp with ZF Zeus pop propulsion, Volvo 725hp with IPS pod drives, and Man 1200hp with surface drives.  Speeds are estimated to go up to fifty knots with the large engine option.
