2015 Aston Martin V12 Vantage S: Pure Anger - XCAR

[@AmechiDion]

3:06 - 3:29 utterly spine tingling. Has to be one of the greatest sounding cars of all time

[@JamesPink-j2k]

Just upgraded from my 2006 4.3 manual to a 2010 V12 manual with 19,000 miles. Absolutely delightful, with all the kit I wished my 4.3 had. Big ceramics, proper lights, sorted interior, amazing stereo, utterly wonderful engine sound and laugh out loud performance, so pleased I sprung the extra! 😍

[@MANZOIL]

Congrats! How reliable has it been, any major repairs or concerns?

[@JamesPink-j2k]

@MANZOIL 100% dreamy gorgeous/ferocious!

[@kezboy1]

MY GOD That ENGINE NOISE NEVER GETS OLD. The purest of its kind. The current gen. astons, though "outdated" have maintained their beauty. That says a lot about it's design. I still long for a DBS......someday! Great video XCAR!

[@beatspacek3479]

This car is easily one of the all time greats within motoring! The timeless design, nice compact dimensions and oh that engine!! Prob my favourite Aston so far. That shape never seems to age?! Pure magic!!!

[@RTX94]

Your reviewing style is truly unique and, by far, the most entertaining of the reviewers that I've seen on KZbin. Well done!

[@93upton93]

This guy and Chris Harris are the best.

[@killerfc909]

Henry Catchpole is better than this guy I rate

Damn. 9:53 you are welcome.

[@ChrisDorgan]

Yea that's the money shot right there haha! I wish they did an audio book of the best car sounds - featuring this one somewhere along the line

[@joevs21001]

The sound of that car is absolutely I-N-C-R-E-D-I-B-L-E! There are few cars on the planet that have a sound like the one coming out of that exhaust. Good gosh that thing just sounds magical. I want to save every single dollar I have ever made in life and get an Aston Martin V12 Vantage S. But, unfortunately I put two girls through four year universities! Oh well, the dream just died........

[@J0lker]

Keeping my fingers crossed for your dream. Remember: do not give up! Haha anyway, that's quite an achievement already, isn't it ; )

[@SirLukkas]

Sell the house! ;)

[@bigmacdaddy1234]

Let them learn responsibility and take out student loans.

[@johnc5clive]

I don’t have any girls so no college. I just bought a v12 Vantage s

[@jake11375]

I love the fact that Astons are such beautiful, sophisticated vehicles... with such brutal sounds. Wonderful combination.

[@onandofftheroadagain]

That exhaust note is music to my ears! And the car is stunning!

[@andrewbenzer8516]

That exhaust note! The Brits are making some of the best sounding cars on the road today between this and the Jag F Type... The last 30 or so seconds of this video - starting at 9:50 - just put a smile on my face all morning.

[@fgcpeak9591]

You are 100% right about the Jag - the V6 which is the best sounding one... Unbelievable car

[@SuryaDe]

OH GOD! SO ANGRY SO ANGRY! So full of want. One of your best yet XCAR. Thank you so much from a fan who could never afford one!

[@BenPortermike]

they really packed a v12 in there. lots of carbon bits.

[@SuryaDe]

Yeah! One of my favorite cars!

[@TheSnookerGym]

We just brought on in these launch colours - it has been our dream for years!

[@anth0l0gy]

I'm just now discovering the beauty of all carfection videos and the quality of production is astounding. Well done

[@ChrisJohn_444]

Consuming appreciation for this car comes at 9:53. That sound is meal for which I have a seemingly endless appetite.

[@lordzevallos]

Another perfect review. Probably one of the top two v12 vantage S reviews I've seen this far. Tied with Matt's from "The Smoking Tire."

[@gustavoechevarria9369]

Alex Zevallos so you're also a car guy? Nice

[@Skooby59]

Thank you guys for that sound bit at the end. I got chills it was soo good. Keep up the great work. Big fan

[@Mfh4907]

XCar, give this man a promotion. What a fantastic reviewer. Love the Aston to bits

[@BlueHopi144]

probably the best V12 sound ever put in a car .

[@alipontiac]

I love manual automated gearbox, i just used to it, it's not bad as people may think, yes it's slower than modern dual clutch gearboxes but they give the car a character, attitude and mechanical feel and connection.

[@ThiyaguGovindan]

the sound is ungodly

[@TheSnookerGym]

@@Carfection We have just brought this car IN THIS COLOUR SCHEME!!!! We have just watched this video many times and love your delivery and enthusiasm for the car. Our life dream has been to have a V12VS - we are also installing CAT delete pipes and removing the exhaust valve fuse number 15!

[@TheSnookerGym]

@Carfection .... If you want to borrow our car please let us know!

[@bo55ola]

Honestly I was behind one of these.....want doesn’t cover it

[@imnotanead]

the man that got the idea of the pure v12 sound at the end..... you win sir.

[@perez5249]

What a brilliantly engineered beast. Alex, thanks for another great review. I love your analogies "as subtle as a brick across your face, hilarious. Cheers.

[@ScottPulkowski]

"for the Martin family" Interesting take on it. Keep up the great work!

[@twenty514]

The cinematography is sublime.

[@STAG162]

Secretly, we don't care how many neighbours it wakes up - we all love a big shouty car. =)

[@ricardorgomez]

Well done. I loved the bit "But they have the best stories". Amen to that.

[@utubedano]

Aaah man the noise... man... Just music to the ears... As usual awesome video again...

[@TraneFrancks]

You guys make SUCH great films.

[@TheOnlyConsoleGamer]

As Jeremy Clarkson would say ``POWERRRRRRRRRR``

[@blatter762]

Would have said

[@moimeme7839]

No anger, just pure class and power

[@tdgmatthews]

Alex your review is spot on, especially the need to have Sport pressed and use the paddle shift 👍🏻

[@josephtomb01]

My favorite Aston, hands down. Sounds and looks amazing.

[@TheBreakfastClb]

Great journalist, great car, great video. Gawd I love that sound

[@SlothelHD]

My ict teacher drives this car in white and when he goes out before lunch the sound of his v12 gives me butterflies ahaha

[@SlothelHD]

Yes a very beautiful one! I made a deal with him that if I bought him a burger king he'd take me out in it

[@grmancool]

Unique Rize where does this man live so i can send him a truck full of hamburgers

[@SlothelHD]

Me or my teacher?

[@grmancool]

Well I'm not gonna send you the burgers hah

[@SlothelHD]

Awk.. I was looking foward to them :(

[@user-Gladius91]

One of the best car videos iv'e ever seen!

[@andrewipp426]

Great piece on the V12 S... love it!!!

[@mooper50]

9:53 Thank me later Also, another great review. Loved it.

[@Twisted_Tempest]

That exhaust note is about as demonic a sound as the gates of hell opening and scraping on a floor made up of a black board.... I love it! :D

[@unathimichaelmxaku8105]

I will never stop loving this car,I think she's my soul mate😍🥰

[@MohamedAli965]

i love this guy's use of metaphors

[@Autophorie]

Loving the edit. Fits the Aston quite perfect. Could listen to this V12 all the long or let's make it a ringtone :)

[@stealthmintblue]

MMMMMMmmmmmm!!! That exhaust note sounds SOOO GOOD!!! Okay now, where's the manual trans??

[@iantownsend5480]

I still can't decided if I want a DBS or the V12 Vantage more

[@talltrini10]

This is literally my current dilemma

[@wajahatshah595]

one of the best sounding car i have ever heard

[@TheSnookerGym]

And this car did no have CAT delete pipes, nor the exhaust valves held open.

[@orangebeachisstinkly]

I drove most of Scotland on my honeymoon in a piece of SH.... rental. Slight challenge being from U.S. But, finishing the last route from Edinburgh to Glasgow, I would have paid through the nose to have this car on the M8. What a great road and with 95+ octane gas, ohhhh myyy gooodneessss. Senna, Schumacher, Andretti, Fittipaldi, all come to mind. As always, I appreciate the style and personality of the report.

[@mrtoothhurty1]

This guy is such a solid presenter.

[@pezzonovante888]

The sound is insane. Awesome car. But without intending to use cliches, imagine how amazing it would be with a stick!

[@senesful]

This video is going to make me become a business man :D so i can drive an aston haha

[@quentonmillstid850]

Jessie M. the fuck?

[@soubido]

that noise omg i can listen to it all day everyday

[@J0lker]

Awesome review, once again :D I love the fact it's so long! Pleeeease make Vanquish!

[@filippo1925]

genuinely epic... epic car, epic sound, epic landascape, epic review... EPIC

[@kezboy1]

XCAR, Even though it's not longer in production, I'd LOVE to see you review the DBS in your own style. PLEASE!!

[@payasofeo69]

You guys should have a million subs... Now I must wait for your next video. :-)

[@mirekmontepuro5330]

Taking this lad and Chris Harris as co-moderators would be the only possibility to save TopGear that I can think of.

[@ITsIMP0RT4NT]

This is my favorite late model Aston Martin BY FAR. It's even up there with the older models, if not surpassing them, as far as aesthetics is concerned. Performance wise, it blows them out of the water, but I'm sure the visceral feel older models had just can't be met. Which probably isn't any manufacturers fault, the laws are just so much stricter now than they were 40-50 years ago. Nevertheless, their approach when building this is what the definition of a true sports car should be. Big engine, small (as well as stiff) chassis, excellent handling & breaking, and an original style. This car checks all of those boxes in my opinion. That's why it's not just one of my favorite Aston's, its one of my favorite cars entirely. I just pray that it never gets put out of production or gets some hideous "facelift".

[@ITsIMP0RT4NT]

Plus if I could afford one of these, I could afford the manual transmission that mates to it's engine and have it swapped in. Then it would be the ultimate tourer.

[@JabranShakil]

I like this guys videos. Nice job.

[@SirLukkas]

As soon as I can afford one of these, I will buy one. Life is too short to live out in perpetual monotony. And it will be daily driven. When it isn't in the shop half of the year for repairs.

[@steveatx8295]

is there a bulletin board for the reliability of these cars?

[@TheSnookerGym]

@@steveatx8295 We have just brought one in these launch colours! Our life dream has come true!

[@TheSnookerGym]

We have one - same colour!

[@williamchick9312]

Omg that sound at the end!!!! Makes even the F Type seem sedated

[@BramCollier]

Wow, this car... I mean this is not *A* car it's an Aston. Seeing or hearing one always gives me this happy feeling inside that no other car does. They are truely something special. except the cygnet, F that thing.

[@filipthealucard]

i usually look at the reviews as washed out if they are not top gear's... but i like this guy :3 he's ok

[@GiorgiGoguaTuzo]

still DBS is one of my favorite astons ever

[@adamgooding9061]

Drove this in racing green a few weeks back, honestly is an amazing car!!!! And it sounds ace too!

[@fredfredburger1328]

Absolute most beautiful car ever made.

[@Grievance_Studies_Affair_2018]

What's the music at the very end of the video, please? After 10:40 Is it just some music created for XCAR, or is it a part of some track?

[@luftlinie811]

this dude has talent. lots of it.

[@Fioravanti.80]

What a great review of a fantastic car, which must be a beautiful, tactile and sonorous delight to behold, to experience and to own. What more could any true petrol-head want?! Maybe a Ferrari 458 Italia to keep it company, but nothing else for me...

[@russellmorash3816]

The only thing I can't stand about this work of art is a seven speed manual that would make it the greatest car I've ever seen

[@Billeh556]

I don't want a Ferrari or a lambo- I don't know why but the British makers McLaren and Aston Martin sizzle my soul. The V12 vantage S has got to be my fav car of all time love the classic short rear long hood rwd

[@johnc5clive]

I watch this every day.........

[@ThorburnJ]

On the gearbox - I NEVER drive it in auto. Even around town I always drive around on the paddles. At anything less than flat-out it likes a little lift of the throttle on up-shifts, and its hard to anticipate this if it is making the decision. It'll automatically downshift if the revs drop even in manual mode.

[@JamaicanMeCrazy]

Their slogan should be. Aston Martin power and Elegance personified.

[@MrTommySullivan]

The front view of this car is so beautiful.

[@vegetabudokai549]

I need this car in simulators and videogames!!

[@acruzp]

It was in GT5 and I'm pretty sure it´s in GT6 too

[@thegirthquake8574]

Andres .C Sadly not the S.. The standard V12 is though. And you can tune it up to the S though.

[@RastaMon2121]

Michael Tarantino i conquer

[@TheHeftyDanielson]

That ending. Thank you. :D

[@scottwebb605]

I hear they are coming out with a manual soon :)

[@orangesonicc]

beautiful car! the F-type and this are wonderful cars! love it!

[@nbrigdan]

I bet Q division will build you a V12VS with a manual if you offer enough money. Hopefully at least! Brilliant review by the way.

[@Baby1961-i5e]

Aston made a great move when they put a V-12 into the Vantage. I remember when they first did it, and Top Gear UK showcased it, Clarkson was driving it, but stayed silent and let the car do the talking. Shame this S model doesn't have a full on manual 'box option, but it seemingly still would be a fun machine to drive. Thumbs up on putting a V-12 into the Vantage Aston Martin!

[@kilimandar]

Incredible review. I thoroughly enjoyed watching this. And from 9:58 OHHHHHHH MYYYY

[@justmechanicthings]

9:53 My ears feel like they've been out all night, used and abused and are waiting for a follow up phone call.

[@DATGUY795]

Jeremy Clarkson Approved.

[@mausamkhodifad1218]

that sound..!! pure music.

[@nivrin13]

Subscribed just for this video

[@Ryukachoo]

0:42 best part of the car, your key becomes integrated into the car and becomes the actual "button" you press to start the engine. its like bmw's feyfob done CORRECTLY

[@mazdaman1980]

So not the engine or exhaust note then, but the key!

[@Ryukachoo]

those are very nice too, but that little design touch really stands out

[@raviewz]

I loved the cameras and the overall production of the video, My only complain, and it's so weird, is that you guys reviewing cars say things like: "This is one of the best car noises ever" and WE ARE HERE trying to listen to it, trying to agree with you but you guys does not let us HEAR the noise of the car...!!! That's my 2 cents. Keep up the good work withe the cameras. I loved it! :)

[@Alex-ny3mm]

You're from the WONDERFUL island of trinidad?

[@SolidShoikot]

Hope you guys do a review for the 2015 STI soon!

[@danisaelwm]

That sound!

[@treatb09]

i like the vents but not the grill, still dig it though and that sound is amazing. but i'll always be a porsche fan.

[@AndyBrew]

Great review, superb presenter.

[@nijae.v]

Speechless

[@diegoK115]

Glorious sound!

[@thegirthquake8574]

Every car maker these days from A-Z seems to be itchy for having seamless gear changes. But if you can't get a stick shift, then wouldn't you want to hear the space between gears? The "BRAAAAAAAAAH!" *short silence* "BRAAAAAAAAAAAH!" sound is a great time to hear the engine calm down for a second, breathe, then take another step into chaos. People want "FASTER FASTER! GEAR SHIFTS ARE TOO SLOW!" but why can't we take a second to leave that small space? To be one with the car, to breathe with the motor and prepare for hellfire? It's like the crest of a roller coaster; you see the edge, you creep over it, and everything just slows down, like time stands still and you get the chance to see everything around you, before you take the plunge.

[@reyrob]

Fantastic review! Thanks

[@AnDuKn0Thi5MaN]

What a glorious engine note....

[@otavioberamar]

excellent review

[@kitgreer7314]

That last bit is what I was holding out for.. And Aston, really..? With that headlight switch down by your right knee? They put a beast together like that, and can't find a more stylish switch that blends in better with the rest of the cockpit?

[@userr8w7d73]

hey if any millionaires are reading this, please gift me an aston martin
