Aston every time for me. Owned and driven many earlier '70/80s 911s but always wanted a Vantage for the drop deal gorgeous looks, sound, handling. Have an early 4.3 and now drive a 2010 V12 manual. This new generation looks and sounds fabulous, body shape very influenced by the original 2006 V8. Love the arches, stance, interior... just brilliant, A great achievement!

The best description of a 911 Turbo I have ever saw goes more or less like this: “So you’re driving a brand new 911 Turbo you’ve just bought. It’s fast. It’s crazy fast! Your confidence strengthens. In it, you feel you’re the best driver in the world. The straights are short. A turn. It’s tight. Tighter than you first though. And you entered it at an insane speed. “Damn!”… sweating, trembling voice “God! I’m not going to make it!” This is the time when YOU NEED TO BELIEVE that the car, for which you paid a small fortune, will be able to save you from a situation your overblown ego has gotten you into. You… you barely make it! Hands sweating on the steering wheel” “YEAHHHH!” That’s Porsche.

[@timw5k]

One of the best first drive videos you have ever done! Amazing work. And what a stunning car as well. Really acknowledged all their shortcomings of the previous models and improved where it matters most. Future looks good for Aston!

Well done! The effort and passion are evident.

[@tomwlsn99]

I got rid of my 2021 vantage back to Aston Martin after 8 weeks of ownership after it broke down twice with full electric failure. The rear boot shelf used to fall off over bumps or when you shut the boot, the breaks would squeal pretty much all the time and the sat nav was from a ten year old Mercedes so let’s hope this one does a better job than that of the previous / current one.

[@Daveyboy_GolfR]

[@F.S.111]

Best thing about this car is the engine imo. have 2022 SL 63AMG. Absolutely Love it! Sounds insane. I did Renntech tune, BMC filters, Capristo exhaust module controller. It’s now according to Renntech 725 HP and 765 lbs Torque. The torque is truly insane. I have never been Porsche guy. I respect their track ability but just never cared them or the look.

[@rogerpayne5336]

Well after numerous reviews of this car today , including this one , it's clear this new Vantage is a serious machine , and while ultimately a 911 turbo is still quicker with it's 4 wheel drive traction , it's when going slow the turbo s has been accused of being a bit soulless , this Vantage cannot be called soulless at any speed , with the v8 ever present , the looks , the interior ambience and of course the speed. Throw in top notch handling , yep ! I'll have this over a 911

I'd have this over a porsche 911 turbo or turbo s. This is a great Aston. What Aston is all about this. Huge improvements with the infotainment and interior which was needed. Its not short changed for being the entry level. Things like bespoke tyres. Thats no small feat. This was a very well shot press drive video.

[@Henrikskjolaas]

[@gavinsullivan9015]

I did not think we could ever be seriously comparing an Aston with a 911 but here we are and better this and a 911 Turbo, I would get this. Emotion is really really relevant and the 911 Turbo is a bit dull even if it is absolutely fantastic. Aston has turn the tables. Well done Stroll

I would take this over a 911 Turbo... it's just more special, and although it may not be the fastest point to point, I think the driving experience would be more enjoyable. In a looks competition the Aston wins by miles, the 911s are becoming a bit of a supercar cliche.

So many times Aston have tried to compete with the Porsche and come just short but not any more. If you don’t want the Aston in front of your house as a work of art something is very wrong. I will never have the money for one but it’s back on my dream car list.

[@MrSupersaiyangoku]

I would most definitely take this over any 911. The looks are by far more sexy. It’s faster. Only rear wheel drive. It’s powerful. Sounds better. I just see this as better. For the money. The Porsche is always a soulless machine to me. Plus give me a turbo v8 over a flat six any day

[@markio5830]

I’ve driven a couple of 911’s one being a GTS at the Porsche experience centre and they are amazing to drive full on, I ache to own one, but on flip side that makes them a bit two a penny as they are so popular, the Aston is a Saville Row suit, a gorgeous looking machine inside and out and it would be my choice given how close they are dynamically

[@franciscojaviergonzalezlop9638]

I don’t know if I’m the only crazy person here, but the front … I just think that the previous one looks better, after that everything in this car is amazing

[@yogiyo888]

This video is great. Nice work. It may be just me but I always get tired of a modern Aston Martin’s styling. They are beautiful to look at at first for sure, but over a bit of time, the attraction wears out. They just look to me a bit contrived and a little pretentious. But it does sound like they made serious efforts to put together a proper contender and I am seriously thinking of one (DB12V) but I am going to sit on it for a bit to see if the styling continues to excite this time.

[@andrewwaxman2724]

If we were talking about a GT3 or GT3 RS then I'd take the Porsche BUT,,, I have always loved Astons and that new Vantage sounds very much like my Mustang GT. You have to love the V8 Growl. I agree the new design theme coming out of Aston is world class... Against the 911Turbo it would be the Aston! Thank you Lawrence Stroll!

[@phantom2k10]

Extremely tough choice to make between this and the 992 turbo s.This has a 50/50 weight distribution,weighing under 1650kg,with 650 break to the rear wheels,making it a better handling car,whilst the 992 is probably a bit less engaging,but weighs about the same despite being 4wheel drive and us priced similarly. The 8speed pdk is superior,but the zf8speed is an incredibly gearbox.Xhp should be able to sharpen the shifts and bring it to almost the same swiftness as the pdk
