Beautiful car. The sound it makes in stock form, reminds me a lot of the Audi r8 first gen with the 4.2 v8

There's such a nice resonance to that exhaust at like 5000 RPM and above. And I love that the entire center stack is just carbon fiber. As Joe Raiti would say, "Someone spilled a bucket of carbon fiber on it." I keep thinking more and more GT cars are what I really like because I just like to drive places. Something like this that eats up the highway miles but is fun to drive would be such a joy to own.

[@SuperSenis]

Not enough people in the states appreciate the Astons! Thanks for sharing!

[@davidcasas3862]

Not the fastest, not the most powerful but it's the most pretty car ever made and sounds amazing....thanks Tedward!!!!

[@SyndicateRulz]

I wish your channel was bigger because you deserve but at the same time I enjoy this small community and these very well made videos. Thank you.

[@caspar4121]

I love the V8 Vantage, one of my all time favourites! Thanks for taking us along with this GTS model!

[@TheNyster]

One of my favorite cars all time, beautiful and timeless design

[@DoubleD603]

"whenever you slap gts on the back of your car, it better be GOOD" Was your Celica a gts?

100%. That car was amazing and revved over 8200rpm

[@hiepphambui3941]

@@TedwardDrives either I don't know how or where to look, or I just have not been able to afford one, but a ZZW30 Celica GTS with a manual seems hard to come by these days. I did get to own and drive a Matrix XRS with the same engine and transmission, but the chassis left A LOT to be desired.

[@alolanstarboy]

Man this generation of the vantage is among my dream cars. Specifically that v12 cos ever since I first heard it I knew it was perfect mixed with the great looks of the car. Listening to the V8 version now it sounds surprisingly like a grumbly American V8 which I wasn’t expecting

[@gixxer_boi_2003]

Love it when modern Supercars actually have a proper manual gearbox😍

[@guy5828]

You are my favorite guy to watch pov reviews. You always explain the story behind the car how to feels to drive down to the smallest details. Good job 👍

[@jmax7916]

What a beauty of a car! Its even more of a treat being a manual. Great video as always!

[@Triplez43]

Damn that sounds good in my top 5 of best sounding v8s

[@TheFelipeLima]

This is undoubtedly a future collectible

[@andreamusso1469]

Looks like a blast. Sure, it's not a V12 but this V8 still sounds pretty amazing

[@MiniOne82]

To be honest, the V8 is the best engine in the vantage, the V12 sounds amazing but made it top heavy and kind of ruined the original feel.

[@danielkazimirov2070]

It is ideal car to drive around Europe and hearing this great sound. I love this car^ it is one of the best GT ever!

[@fantasyguru26]

A manual is a MUST with this vehicle.

[@bekiro28]

you know you got a beautiful job mr tedward

[@andresguerin7162]

The V12 vantage manual is 😍😍

[@frozenpete788]

Man this v8 during the 3 - 4 shift, I gotta say, like others I fell in love with the v12 with the Dbs, Casino Royal style, but I don't know the v8 suits the Vantage very well, in manual, I like that sir, as always thanks for sharing, Tedward ftw

[@TedwardDrives]

Funny you should mention dbs. Dbs throttle mapping drives me nuts! This car is much more enjoyable to engage with because of the sport button the adjusts it.

[@frozenpete788]

@@TedwardDrives I can feel that. Throttle mapping is one important thing and when it's not done well, it really takes away some of the joy of the experience. Fortunately in the end it can be adjusted with an ecu reflash. And now I'm laughing thinking about my M3 S50 itb linkage with that clever lever ratio that opens smoothly each butterfly from no to half pedal, and then the rest is all screw it wide open and will see, ahh 90's vibe

[@mikealicious3848]

Great video man! I miss your E39 hearing this V8.

[@Jim-v3o]

I tried to buy a 2015 GTS, someone beat me to it. Got a S Roadster instead. The cost cutting they did on the GTS is clear in this video.

[@RyanRoadReaper]

Now *this* is a real treat! It's such a beast, too!

Beautiful car, but that steering wheel is chunkier thank my F150's.

[@nathanhancock3205]

There’s a BMW dealership near me that also has a Z8 in their showroom. Really does feel like a James Bond-inspired video today, lol!

[@Dcc357]

I'm happy I got to be around a Z8 at a cars and coffee. Never ever thought I'd see one.

[@lamadrive]

That's such a beautiful car 😍

[@younghem]

Would love to see this go head-to-head with a base Mustang GT on the track

[@getmeouttahere7638]

It'd probably get beaten handily, but that doesn't bother me. It's such a special car in comparison, and I think manufacturers' obsession over Nurburgring times is really limiting the potential of street cars.

[@yes8032]

Astons are just great

[@stigsindiancousin447ci]

Older gen Aston Martins look very beautiful.......😍😍 Lots of love from India 😊😊

[@johncastle95]

Its hilarious how much of Ford went into this car. My 2005 Mustang GT sounds basically the same if you put a refined non raspy exhaust. A little more throatty but is very similar mechanical sound.

[@jayisaway1516]

Is the “bond group” Called that because they specialise in Aston martins?

[@TedwardDrives]

Surprisingly not. But it would make sense considering the number of Aston’s

[@RJW14]

Sidebrake is only on the correct side if you main right hand drive :P Also, I'd want a custom rev counter to go the other way around. Plus for actual gauges though. Also that V8 sounds insane.

[@taforth]

Tis a great sounding car 👌

[@Stephen-re4oy]

Beautiful car, just wish Aston didn’t insist on putting such big mirrors on it.

[@TedwardDrives]

I definitely appreciate the big mirrors when navigating highways 😆

[@Stephen-re4oy]

@@TedwardDrives They’re definitely functional. I’m just being nitpicky but only because they clearly put a lot of effort into making a beautiful car and I feel that the mirrors sorta take away from that.

[@ridanann]

lol ima v12 guy but proportion is more important a smaller engine in a smaller car seems perfectly reasonable to me😉 no good having a bigger engine if you can't use it lol

[@925vincent]

I just got a V8 Vantage S Manual and am really enjoying the car. But I find it really difficult to get it off the line smoothly. I’m a very experienced manual car driver and don’t have this problem with my other cars (e.g. E92 M3). Could you provide some tips? What techniques do you use? Thank you!

[@TedwardDrives]

You're not wrong. Manual Astons of this generation are tricky to drive and can make you question your skills. Getting off the line is a gentle balance of slipping the clutch and patience. Up shifts also require you to pull out of the throttle about a half a beat before you normally would before clutching in and going for the shift. Otherwise the revs will spike. I think the throttle mapping of these cars were just a little unfinished so be patient with inputs rather than slamming them like the M3.

[@925vincent]

@@TedwardDrives Thanks very much for your reply! I did start to question my driving skills after a few jerky launch. What often happens to me is that just after the car starts to roll and you fully release the clutch pedal and come back a little on the throttle, the car cuts power at that very moment and the rev suddenly drops, which results in a near-stall situation (and jumpy ride). So what I do now is keep throttle input the same, or even guadually increase it through out the pulling-off sequence, which mitigates the problem but is completely against my driving habit. Also, I think the first gear is too tall for city driving. It's good for open road - it makes the car getting off the line more quickly and it's ages before you need the 2nd gear (unlike the M3, in which you will use up 1st gear pretty quickly). But in city slow traffic it's a nightmare because you are constantly in the transition period and burning the clutch! So now in city driving I just release the clutch very slowly and give it a tiny a bit of throttle to crawl forward. You are right - the car requires more patience and finesse than the M3!

[@crossphaded]

@@TedwardDrives I think the term is "rev hang". And it totally sucks.

[@andresguerin7162]

What is the red line?

[@jim99west46]

No lift shifts!

[@TedwardDrives]

I don’t think this has AMshift only because It never auto Revmatched a downshift. I could be wrong and just didn’t have it engaged. I think it was Introduced in 2017. Let me know if there was a button I could have pressed though

[@jim99west46]

Apparently AM announced it in 2016 but maybe the first Aston to get it was the 2017 Vantage S with the V12.
