Aston Martin DB11 V8: An Andorran Adventure - Carfection

Henry Catchpole reviews Aston Martin's new V8 engined version the DB11 by taking it on a journey to Andorra in search of great driving roads. Encountering every sort of weather and terrain, it was a true test of the big GT - an important car for the British company as it uses the Mercedes-AMG engine that will power the upcoming Vantage.

This is the thing about Henry’s reviews ; He seems to have sliced out a niche of his own. Maybe its his calm, thoughtful demeanour, but his reviews are always contemplative, edging closer to humanistic values then any other on KZbin. A quasi-zen like approach of nature, man & machine.

[@Horse6L]

Especially on road trip type reviews.

[@deldia]

I enjoy his videos but he is smarmy AF.

[@IKKAIWINS]

This right here is literally Henry's dialogue. Love it

[@austinduong-van6071]

RCR but more subdued

[@johnnyboy1586]

So we'll put!👍

[@MisterDillPickle]

Henry Catchpole is the best thing that happened to this channel in recent times.

[@tetraalfa]

Carfection's best video ever, thanks to Henry Catchpole and the absurdly beautiful cinematography

[@pjvenda]

Amazing video, superb really, congratulations! Henry's style is brilliant, calm, refreshing, and yet technical, informed and purposeful. 5*

[@Fioravanti.80]

Agreed. One of the best video productions I have seen. Keep up the great work!

[@andrewb325]

Yep. It’s a great channel.

[@AndrewMalkin]

Henry does an excellent job with his reviews.

[@martin90948]

Henry did an amazing job... Best review of the Aston Martin DB11 on my opinion I really like watching it...

[@sushilchoudhari3807]

This is the best thing I saw today. Thank you for making my day special. Boy the production!

[@HenryCatchpole]

Very kind, thank you. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@ArtVandelayOfficial]

I saw some boobs

[@ArtVandelayOfficial]

this was cool though too

[@T.10-d3m]

Personally, Henry is the best car journalist. He's not like the others, take a car on the track or somewhere else and hoon it around. Don't get me wrong, I like to watch these as well, of course, but I prefer more Henry's style and many times I go back and watch his old videos again and again. The film with Boxster GTS on the Mallorca, absolutely awesome. He gives you all the specs and info about the car you need but he also provides something more, like the feeling and emotion from the car, you can imagine yourself driving it exactly as he does and take the pleasure of driving. Awesome!

[@mdesa6699]

I like that the video is 9:18 long. Very appropriate for the car community.

[@Tin_Fed]

Great to see Henry on this channel. Great journalism and production. A meditative pleasure to watch.

[@logankatzify]

I would pay money to watch this beautiful production quality.

[@OtterEffect]

Carfection, the step up in production quality this channel has seen recently is truly breath taking. Henry is amazing, and the cinematography truly does justice to the cars and the lands. Thank you.

[@bartu7544]

road trip + car review = best channel keep making this trip videos.

[@_rhapsodist]

this was shot beautifully, well done guys!

[@johngoodridge7815]

Speaking of rally cars in Andorra, with no mention of Richard Burns as former resident? Surprised, especially from Henry, who has a well documented love of and participation in rallying. Great video though. Love the way Henry talks about cars.

[@lefterisnalbantis9627]

I think Henry might be the best automotive journalist at the moment

[@malcolmwilson5858]

I wonder if he continued on the repaired tyre? Aston supply a foam sealant and I’m pretty sure that that tyre isn’t easily sourced in Andorra, it’s difficult enough in the UK. Maybe you can trust a repair on a cliff edge road!! Anyway brilliant video, he’s such a cool guy.

[@treyquattro]

Another excellent Carfection video with one of my favorite presenters, Henry Catchpole. The V8 Aston would seem to be more of a sports car, that you have to keep on song to get the most out of, rather than a V12 cruiser. This is the Aston Martin DB11 that James Bond would drive, and these are the roads that he would drive it on. Brilliant. Completely Brilliant.

[@PeterbossPT]

gotta say, from all of the db11 videos/productions uploaded yesterday (Motor Trend, Car Throttle, Autocar, SOL, Carfection, etc.. etc..) this one won the crown..usually, i go for Motor Trend Channel but Carfection just uploaded a gem with this one..Too bad it's not in 4k..thats the only thing missing!! Congrats from Azores Islands, Portugal @Carfection!!! Please keep this prodution level from now on :) PS: we have lots of greens, blues and cows here too :p

[@PeterbossPT]

Oh s#%t, you replied! ok that makes sense. "Go hard or go home" :) Don't get me wrong, the footage as it is right now is just gorgeous. I just think that it would benefit from the 4k's bitrate that it's allowed by youtube and not the resolution alone. But i still think that what made this video better than the others was all the work behind it :) keep making that awesomeness :) I just have to press play :)

[@JasonWaterfalls13]

As a fan of the Washington Huskies I approve of the interior!! Stunning road and gorgeous car. Production quality on this is insanely good! Thank you.

[@Walkermpw]

A car journalist at the top of his game. An outstanding 9min and 18s. Thank you!

[@Sundaydinner.withthefamily]

Beautifully done Gentleman. This was a wonderful cinematic experience. Just glorious!

[@PaddyMcQueen]

I've been watching cars video for more then 10 years now... this is without any doubt on the top 5. Henry + great car + great editing= epic video! thx for sharing... Aston should pay you for a video of this quality! Best advice on earth!

[@TheAslakVind]

A pleasure to enjoy your work, Catchpole!

[@supadad1971]

Love the front view.. And the arc back look to the iconic DB5.. Great touch Aston..

[@kskenderaj91]

Watched this guy at EVO, Drivetribe and now Carfection, every road trip review feels like a perfect movie with an amazing cinematography.

[@rohanrr31]

As a long-time follower, I am pleased to see the consistent progress the channel has made in terms of quality and while still giving us free content! Kudos!

[@Gavownian]

Another beautiful review - of V8 Aston and scenery - by the incomparable Mr. Catchpole and team. Bravo!

[@SoloRDR]

I can watch Henry’s reviews all day, so thoughtful and detailed.

[@just_some_internet_guy]

There is something up there Henry! And you did show us everything this car and adventure had to offer. Chills man, I got chills!

[@anotherone10]

That interior with the snow falling, great shot

[@TC_Hill]

As much as I like Alex and Drew, Henry has been my favourite car journo since reading EVO when I was 15. This may now also be my favourite Carfection video too, production here is on point.

[@N54B30BMW]

Music beginning at 6:44 is Redemption by Mark Petrie in case you are wondering (if been searching this song for a long time) And yes that is the same music in the EVO video about the Ford GT on Arctic circle raceway.

[@johnburrow4124]

I really like his watch!

[@HenryCatchpole]

Thank you. Omega Speedy Pro (on a NATO strap)

[@DonnyTrent5533]

I love Henry's roadtrip videos...best review videos on YT. The Vantage video from Evo is still a go to for me. Hope Carfection keeps him around for more of these

[@chcomer1]

Mr. Catchpole, still upset that you left EVO, however this video for Carfection was incredible. Happy to know that you are still doing what you do best. Describing automotive culture and automobiles like no one else. Cheers.

[@andrewmoorhouse687]

probably the best use of 9 minutes and 18 seconds I can think of! What a visual feast for the eyes. Henry and team are just epic at these videos. Great words, beautiful videography, sharp editing.

[@viktorlucawilkens735]

The quality of this video is staggering! I love this channel. Thank you for sharing your love for cars with us.

[@bicyclist2]

I absolutely adore that beautiful leather interior. If I had the money I'd want this exact one. I've spent many wasted hours at the Aston website configuring my dream Aston. I've had the privilege of going to Europe before, but unfortunately didn't get to go to Andorra. I'd like to go some day. Thanks.

[@scarfy1988]

Round of applause. Catchpole is an asset

[@golfbuddy1969]

One of the best car videos I have watched this year...and what beautiful creations: the car and the landscape!

[@SuicidalLemonade]

This might actually be the best video on the internet. i keep saying this and it always seems to be on a Henry passion project.

[@pmrrmm]

Henry is just the best... The production level is just amazing. congrats to the team

[@DwainDwight]

going to get one, drove two weeks back & loved it

[@mursyidomar6995]

My level of respect to this bloke went up another notch when he said that he doesn't smoke.

[@MrRacs1]

Jaw dropping. Brilliant Henry!

[@craiglington]

Now that’s how you do a peerless car review. Well done Henry and the production crew.

[@warakanda7356]

This road is dangerous, no middle deviding line.. AM is really really marvellous. Thanks bro

[@FREE_WILL_DEFENDER]

That interior is GORGEOUS

[@ilyasymonenko3809]

Breathtaking clip... Amazing.

[@MrSos2000]

Henry is just the best guy when he talks cars

[@warakanda7356]

Now most younger generations car owners, even elderly guy like me, will own superhypercars with a V6 or V8 smaller 3.6cc engine with the Turbo that could perform like the V12 cars above 6.0 cc. The 6.0 cc just too heavy drinking too much fuel and perhaps paying heavy road tax premium every year in some countries. It's good that Aston Martin now breaks its tradition by going into manufacturing smaller cc cars but perform just like the bigger brothers. That's why Porsche, Ferrari and Maserati selling lots of cars under the range of V8 with 4.0 cc and below. Even at this age, now 59, I don't fancy owning a bigger cc cars. This car is really really awesome. I like to get one for my own indeed. Tq bro.

[@franzamerkamp724]

Wow, what a clip! I'm impressed!

[@rexsolomon6325]

Henry Catchpole is a master storyteller. Someday he will replace earlier master storytellers Jeremy Clarkson and James May after they retire. "Hang in there! We can do this!" - very likeable, natural and affable chap, Henry is. Headed for greatness.

[@oscarlainz]

Thanks EVO...I mean Xcar....I mean Carfection.... Really thank you Henry Catchpole, love your videos no matter the magazine you work for!

[@mrmarrow8918]

Well done Henry and co. for such an enjoyable video!

[@etaesu83]

Every drive he takes sounds so....epic

[@robochitti]

Carfection makes the best outstanding visuals for car review. WOW guys you make the best videos in the planet!

[@AwkwardYet]

One thing you can't argue is how gorgeous this car is

[@Yarso1]

This production was epic! Car-filmmaking as it should be. Enjoyed this one. Thanks.

[@alasdairstuart3394]

Stunning - the car and the scenery

[@brucelee1987]

Great sounds, strong power, amazing speed.... And I would still buy the V12

[@MyersMotors]

Flawless production quality, fantastic work. I only occasionally watch videos on this channel, but I saw the thumbnail and couldn't resist. Best thumbnail on any video I've ever seen. Absolutely stunning. Fantastic location as well.

[@samrudhamalandkar1871]

What you guys do, is art.

[@mohammadrasoulfard-habibi7171]

Stunning motor

[@timgermanyjr]

Amazing spec. Love that color combo.

[@NovieBigSad]

What a country and what a car. Most importantly though, Henry what a reviewer you are!

[@jryalls]

Started the video, saw Henry, liked video

[@petyrkowalski9887]

Wow, what a fabulous review. Brilliant work.

[@daxstevens2461]

Henry could review a piece of stale bread.... and I'd still watch and love it!!

[@AndorRadnai]

You know… If you ever find yourself in Austria for a review… Go and try the Kaunertal glacier road! Another spectacular dead-end road (which is the place where Mercedes were testing their current generation S Class) with incredible views and truly astonishing bends! Nothing short of a masterpiece!!

[@birdman1585]

Beautiful production.

[@rosettedsouza7265]

There are car videos and there are car videos, and then their are your videos Henry. Thank you for being my friend and the superb videos, content and production, a pleasure to watch, as always. If you are near Vancouver BC anytime, please visit us, we are car, motorcycle and cycle friendly......

[@MrGrandAdmiral]

Great Shots, great Film all over! Pls keep it up!

[@samrit123in]

No hard feelings towards Carfection and Drivetribe (subscribed to both), but I'm still unable to understand the reason behind breaking up such a wonderful team at EVO. Harry, Jethro, Henry and team that made appearances in ECOTY, it was just great. It simply worked.

[@BARATTI99]

Beautiful cinematography 😍 especially in the ending

[@DarrenJMHughes]

Brilliant video review with amazing cinematography.

[@arthurhaverkort1927]

Beautiful car! Beautiful video! You guys did what you have to do with a GT car, enjoy the drive and the scenery!

[@allensaunders449]

From drivetribe to Carfection great car presenter

[@richardlawes8893]

Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant review! Keep them coming!

[@incognito8219]

That is a brilliant colour on the db11

[@tris7]

Superb film, well done guys!

[@sunlee3561]

Fantastic review Henry and bang on scenery!

[@fefe8607]

Amazing Video Im so inspired excellent have subscribed !!!

[@mattrockwell6214]

There's only one Henry, Most excellent!

[@SlickRick214]

Love the purple interior for some odd reason, if I had the money I would get one pearl white with that purple interior.

[@bobbybass7972]

Finally !!! you guys have an actual automotive journalist on staff..

[@FredB458]

Beautiful car review and filming!

[@mgmarrison]

Perhaps now Matt Le Blanc is stepping down, Chris Harris and Henry could start up their own show? Yet another amazing video, Henry and team!

[@humphreybradley3060]

Great review Henry as always, must check out Andorra! Bodes well for the new Vantage!

[@MrAndres6935]

The end of the video reminds me of the flash tv series lol amazing drive I’ve been there before but on a tour not in sports car but must go back and try it out

[@countrylife2747]

Henry does great reviews very informal. 👍👍

[@adr0110]

Tip of the hat! Another class video, now watch autocar & laugh! Well done!

[@SpurtingRod]

Great review. I always like his reviews. Very zen.

[@terryboy1235]

Brilliant car Brilliant review may I add so is Henry he’s a class act!💚👍

[@xkrnxboix]

Anyone else think the "DB11" font on the headrest looks absolutely unfitting an Aston Martin? It should be regal and elegant not childish cartoon-like.

[@Avrelivs_Gold]

this may be extra cost trim details, as always

[@kraenk12]

It's embarrasing what AML designers have become.

[@richjohn9356]

Yes, had one ordered, cancelled an bought a Vanquish S

[@Avrelivs_Gold]

your loss

[@ASLUHLUHC3]

Far better than any other current gen aston

[@g3whg247]

Loving your reviews Henry, great work

[@MinhNguyen-rw2in]

Goddammit man, you make me fell in love with the DB11 more. Awesome video.

[@Shafiq1969]

Great review! What was the name and location of the road where you ended your trip? Thanks
