Aston Martin DB11 vs Aston Martin V12 Vantage S Manual

Watch our newest films before they're on KZbin: bit.ly/D_TRBvideos
Aston's future is the DB11, but can its old guard (the V12 Vantage S, with a dog-leg manual no less) still teach the new grand tourer a thing or two? DRIVETRIBE's Henry Catchpole finds out…

God there really is no better way to launch a new car channel than with this many videos.

[@SumbaListens]

S Miller I couldn't agree more!!

[@joeovip]

S Miller i know this is amazing

[@Kaisuke971]

It worked on me lol

[@snowlover71]

I think they had originally posted all of them on their site but then decided to add them here

[@manc37m]

Another excellent Aston+Scotland film by Mr Catchpole. Thank you.

[@tan9640]

The best car channel with jethro an henry it can only get better

[@TheGetawayer]

So glad I can watch videos by Jethro and Henry again. I don't need Top Gear or TGT. I want this

[@ScottZ370]

It seems internet car videos displaced even the big trio when they were off tv, however guess the big 3 still run this

[@TheGetawayer]

S Miller True but I still prefer epic factual over entertaining

[@beefbroth6539]

Good thing we got both then and not have to choose just one ;)

[@grizley123]

TheGetawayer We are on the sme page here then, Guido. Glad to see Henry back. What's happening with good old EVO then? Is, once a great channel, slowly dying? The core team dissolved there. Great to have Drivetribe though.

[@SF7PAKISTAN]

Drivetribe is made by Clarkson,Hammond and May

[@TodunOlusola]

Something about the way this guy does an Aston Martin review, there is just nothing else like it.

[@Sean-if7rp]

I love Henry and his videos so bloody much

[@Kronos0999]

Lol, don't try to act Brit; you failed miserably.

[@Sean-if7rp]

Kronos I'm from Ireland, to call me Brit is a serious insult

[@Kronos0999]

Sean McGeeney Yep.

[@Kronos0999]

@Ethiopia Hindu k

[@longtailgt]

This is now my favorite channel on KZbin! My favorite presenters (Jethro and Henry) reviewing my favorite cars on a channel started by my favorite trio on television. It can't get any better than this!

[@gracilism]

I love manual transmissions so much that I would choose the V12 Vantage over the DB11 if I was offered one car over the other without considering price.

[@freddycatchpole1096]

Anyone else love to see Henry's videos because a) He knows what he's talking about and clearly knows what he's doing. But also b) Because he is another of us rare breed of people named 'Catchpole' ?

[@nrvous309]

Beautifully produced videos, complementing even more beautiful cars

[@someenglishguy..]

Pure pornography. What a fantastically shot video.

[@kraenk12]

To me it seems as if they took the whole EVO photography team with them....The footage is scaringly similar. Poor EVO!

[@shashanklaur507]

That Blue colour is just lovely.

[@macstone9719]

Best tuesday on KZbin ever! Great stuff, please keep it up!

[@vinithnarayan1992]

I'm already liking this better than Grand Tour !! Thank You Jeremy , May and Hammond !!

[@JD2ndcity]

Fantastic video. Don't be afraid to increase the length of the videos, there is enough quality to do so.

[@prettynormalme27]

9:27 pretty much sums up how likeable Henry is! I keep coming back to this video even after a year. Fine wine!

[@joeovip]

Wooooooow beautiful production. Congrats!

[@motoring9056]

This is a lovely comparison. I can remember seeing the Vantage being released as if it was yesterday. Can't wait for the new Vantage to come out.

[@cubix626]

good to see Henry again! the drive tribe videos are simply staggering

[@adamt.mercer4923]

Outstanding! Artistic and beautiful cinematography! It feels good to watch! What Top Gear and The Grand Tour can be moving forward. Informative while still conveying his excitement for the car. I believe him! I'd only hope that the in car audio clarity matched closer to the voice over audio. That detail aside i'm eager to watch every available video now! Cheers!

[@johngagnon9578]

Glad to see Henry in a new video, has been a while for me.

[@SmallBlogV8]

If you go to Drivetribe.com and search for a tribe called Wheel Life then he has plenty of other videos and articles. :-)

[@Viralityoflife]

When I went to Scotland, I was flabbergasted. It was beautiful and I loved it. As an American, there is nothing else like this

[@sourjyanaskar6092]

You are living the dream mate. Such lovely cars and a lovely vista. Kudos to the cinematography team. Fantastic video as always.

[@sieramonlacambra8512]

Totally great videos all released in one day. Truly entertaining.

[@MrMentalSoul]

Dat cinematography. I couldn't hit subscribe fast enough.

[@highlonesomerob5053]

Driving a pair of V12 Aston Martins in the Scottish Highlands? If there really is a heaven, this is what I would expect.

[@andymanning-smith2822]

If you want a GT but the Db11 if you want the best drivers car Aston has ever made buy the V12S Manual - it is epic... Yes I have just bought one - so may be bit biased....

[@warrenh8709]

That was beautiful, every one of these is like a proper movie.

[@PatrickIshac]

Amazing video! We can see how passionate you are, please keep doing such great work

[@vaibhavravichandran]

Amazing work with Drivetribe. Love your videos, subscribed for life.

[@slumpy2]

Catchpole talking about Astons? I've subscribed before the video even started playing! Don't let me down Henry! :)

[@ghlibisk67]

Only a Brit can pull of using "lugubrious" so casually in conversation. Love it.

[@humphreybradley3060]

Thanks Henry, wonderful review! Let's hope the new vantage hits the same sweet spot.

[@MrVocalist567]

Beautiful drone shots

[@richycoles]

absolutely amazing couple of videos. please keep them coming.

[@Patr1ck2332]

Had no idea Henry had joined DT, I already miss his EVO work though. The magazine has lost a lot over recent years. Great to see him here.

[@TheWalrus0608]

Great video. I think the DB9 looks a little better than the DB11 though. Something about the blacked out C pillar is a styling queue I'd expect to see on a Prius or a new Nissan and the hard line of the rear wheal arches isn't that nice. The front and the roof line still look great though, and that V12 wail is still there.

[@mikenimtsch]

WOW such an awesome video... great shots and great cars... its just something calming about watching these videos for me.... so thank you and keep the good content coming :)

[@levisanderson6951]

08:38 "In the last 20 years I've never heard anyone say, Ohhh, bit ugly that Aston, isn't it?" Apart from the Cygnet, I agree

[@tannermerrill]

amazing review, best all around Ive seen in at least a year.

[@JayanandSupali]

Drive Tribe is like what Agents of Shield is to The Avengers!!!! Its doesn't have the heavy weight Super Hero trio but its equally entertaining and good. Absolutely loving these videos. Plz do refine the way they are made. My current Favorite on KZbin is Motor Trend Channel. They made some very nice Review videos. The camera work is absolutely outstanding. Hope to see much more good stuff come over here. :-)

[@NovieBigSad]

Perfection. Thank You, Henry!

[@Gamblor24]

Sam Riley you talented devil you, keep up the great work shooting and editing.

[@blackjacket_]

In all honesty, I do not care at all about the grand tour guys or top gear trio even tho I do like Chris Harris. .... I was wondering for some time now, where is Henry and Jethro from the majestic EVO mag. And here they are. Holy Shit guys. This new channel means bussiness

[@GranDaddo]

I agree that some right people finally got good funding and we are treated with fantastic content. Im actually glad now to see this outcome. Pieces coming together.

[@stephenlane9127]

Awesome video (my two favourites cars (ex-Vanquish) and a fitting outcome at the end! Well done

[@damienscullytoo]

fantastic video

[@nzdweller6946]

Best production of any automotive show

[@Zoot1343]

Great review, excellent photography. Thank you

[@kashifminhaj2707]

finest car videos in youtube

[@the_canyon_carver]

So legit... What a channel, thank you!

[@pdalia]

absolutely marvelous , gorgeous, spectacular cars. heavenly roads too. A complete paradise for the real- world driver .

[@danialqureshi2146]

Would be very cool to get more detail on the backroad routes you guys take when filming these videos. I'm planning a northern UK roadtrip soon and would love to travel on some of these roads

[@BurakTheWeekender]

Love this channel! Awesome videos. Good Job.

[@ChrisMcKenzie]

Jethro and Henry - my two favourite car journos :)

[@manuelcoliano1101]

Well done, keep up the good work!

[@Markbiker21]

totally in love with Astons thank you for this increidible video cheers

[@donthewhale3018]

I was planning my trip to England last night, and I thought "I have to go to the Yorkshire Dales right?"..well, this confirms it.

[@AGC828]

"Analogue" is always THE better choice IMHO. Whether we're talking about naturally aspirated cars vs TT. Or vinyl albums (tube amps) vs convenience of CD's (,,used w/ Sold-state amps) when listening to good music. :) Bond should have been driving the Vanquish S. :) They gave him the DB11 for "corporate reasons". :)

[@ricojonny613]

wow, top notch! absolutely love it! keep going just like that, thanks!

[@JordanPayneLV]

Love race car stuff, keep it coming

[@MrSoccerGK]

amazing content!

[@RafidW9]

8:28 now I know what love at first sight is!

[@mfazka]

Well made videos, keep it up, great job, subscribed 👍👍👍👍👍

[@ZaDude1970]

DriveTribe, nuf said!

[@augustortiz]

What is that beautiful symphony at the beginning of the review?

[@Absilon13]

Top gear do what he does,he is a legend.

[@RudyOMP]

no dislikes, well done.

[@kristiaan1]

very nicely shot video. can you share the music used?

[@ajcars462]

The DB11 is such an amazing car.

[@mavehawk3431]

Amazing video!!

[@pathfinder.george]

That film crew /respect

[@diegoaponte8512]

Would love a review of Ferrari’s pista, speciale, scudria, and challenge stradle

[@Boomboom-ox9hn]

Next level content!..

[@Anselmo8707]

Sensacional este cara tem o melhor emprego do mundo!

[@prshn.adhdbrain]

The exterior of DB11 looks like it was designed by Aliens.

[@ghostridertom]

I wonder how you did drive both at one time (from the factory I mean :D ) :-) In the night driving section in DB11 it really shows how the new digital instrument cluster is not that great of an experience. And for the money, the displays are not enough... I know one DB11 buyer who is absolutely sad about it and the fact SATNAV is not hideable.

[@mbogaba667]

Another top drawer review by the wolverine👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@law6044]

My man, driving in the greatest place on earth. Yorkshire

[@Uldskoen]

What's the music used in this video? (especially in the last clip) and where'd you get it?

[@senshibat8920]

4.54609 liters. One imperial gallon is approximately 1.2 US gallons so when you see the gauge you look for the best of the best premium ? the new benz martins console looks better at night.

[@Fulloctanegarage]

Ok... this is better looking than Petrolicious... can definitely see some Carfection influences.

[@Aro3o6]

I find this video to be very relaxing

[@LP640Murcielago]

Call me old fashioned (I'm 22) but I still preffer the V12 Vantage. The looks of the DB11 are just a bit too fidly, and I love the simplicity of the V12 Vantage, both inside and out, and who can argue with a manual gearbox.

[@OmarG123]

amazing channels

[@benzinafilms1331]

Great film!

[@stastro1785]

First off, I wish I had ROADS like that where I live. Second, I wish I had your job. ;)

[@gordonfrew]

YES, YES, YES! Real car reviews by real drivers :-)

[@tysanborn554]

So good.

[@CJCarsPhotography]

Nice ! Where is it ?

[@toaderalin6322]

Oh my God what where is that amazing road??

[@felixarbable]

id take the NA v12 manual anyday

[@gavinsullivan9015]

Just seen a db11 in all dark grey and it loses all the fussiness and looked remarkably like the vanquish parked next to it...

[@StingRay-qd5gj]

Kind of interesting that the paddle shift was "not brilliant" (2:07) in the V12 Vantage S but in the DB 11 it's totally ok, right? Nice vid otherwise.

[@samlawts1193]

1965 StingRay Because they are completely different gearboxes. 7 speed automated manual for the Vantage, whereas there's a ZF 8 speed in the db11.

[@petedavis8701]

Fantastic

[@wozniatski]

This is what car videos are all about

[@abhishetty2637]

with the grand tour boys running the channel , i bet they had a heated discussion about the color of the car

[@exyt451]

Need subtitles please !

[@AvinashYadav-Daanav]

Watched till the end.....went to subscribe.. Luckily the icon read 'SUBSCRIBED'👈🏻

[@cicci0salsicci0]

The real question is: has Chris Harris made the right decision to stick with TG?

[@CJC94]

Butter tubs pass = Cycling road, Passo dello Stelvio = cycling road
