The Jaguar XKR-S and XKR-R, while not quite as expensive or exclusive as the Aston Martin Vanquish, offer much of the same style and grand-touring appeal--and potentially even more performance.

Porsche's 911 is much the same as the Jaguar XK line in this regard, though at the pointy end, the 911 Turbo S and discontinued GT2 far exceed the Vanquish's performance for a much lower price tag--though it forgoes the bespoke element.

Ferrari's F12 Berlinetta is perhaps the Vanquish's most natural competition, itself a potent V-12-powered grand tourer with elegance and luxury in excess.

The Lamborghini Aventador is another similar formula, though its violent nature and compact cockpit make it substantially less comfortable.

8.8 For those with the dosh, the 2014 Aston Martin Vanquish is a worthy and gorgeous addition to the supercar stable.	9.2 Raising pulses and generating sheer envy: it's all in a day's work for the gorgeous, sublime Jaguar XK.	9 Still a tremendous value, the 2013 Porsche 911 range offers a great balance between dedicated sports car handling and daily practicality.	N/A The 2013 Ferrari F12 Berlinetta is one of the world's top grand tourers, with striking looks and a sizzling powerplant.	8.6 The 2013 Lamborghini Aventador isn't a practical choice, but for the billionaire with a hankering for speed, high technology, and extreme Italian style, there's no better choice.
