[@ibbz6932]

I swear Aston can keep making variants of this chassis forever and it would keep on selling. The design is just so timeless and whoever drew it first is an absolute master!

[@burtdemill9393]

Ian Callum and Henrik Fisker combo......truly a timeless masterpiece.

[@RealRaynedance]

It sounds like an OLD V12. And that's a good thing.

[@vaughnsigal4560]

Still here 6 years later, still adore this creation

[@camryt]

The new cinematography was gorgeous in this vid. Stunning shots of a great car!

[@thimble288]

***** Hello, cat brother

[@ChrisHarrisonCars]

Don't worry, Neil's going nowhere. But we have other projects and we need other people to help us. Al is pure class and I like working with him.

[@alasdairkerr258]

Love Neil's work, but good to see someone else's style - liked the back seat shot especially!

[@LooneyJuice]

Chris Harris on Cars Woohey, I've actually seen Al's work elsewhere, pure class indeed. Top video, guys. Thanks a lot.

[@lea2666]

Chris Harris on Cars What other projects are you working on other than "C.H. on cars"? I would love to watch more of your work. You should have a twitter of facebook or something to keep us posted on the work coming out! I would watch every single video, and i am sure i am not alone on that... Think about it!

[@lea2666]

Alasdair Kerr Cabin sound is pretty shitty though...

[@LurcherVonPapsmear]

Capt Mifune He has both Twitter and FB - Google them!

[@captainwre]

This was the best car channel on youtube. Full stop. Topgear be damned. This was a poetry channel to all of us gearheads. Top gear be damned.

[@razatiger22]

wish i knew how to drive a car half as well as chris.

[@nikb6528]

knew*

[@razatiger22]

Nik Brudar woops I can't even spell today.

[@iainmurray9961]

Razatiger Ault and he does it all while talking or smiling at the camera. Never fails to disappoint!

[@aaronjohnmaughan]

Razatiger Ault Half the battle is simply looking where you want to go rather than at what you might collide with. Easier said than done in a car of this calibre. I'd be worried about stuffing it!

[@Jesskellya]

Razatiger Ault Depending where you live, a local track membership is quite affordable (especially with a club) for the year. Get out there and start burning rubber.

[@itsbillybobs]

Watching this on the eve of 2023, lamenting the demise of cars like this. That V12 howl combined with the characterful sportshift gearbox, carbon and wing everywhere. What a car!

[@longtailgt]

The new editor is brilliant! The overhead shots were purely magnificent. The car itself is magnificent. The noise and the looks! This is definitely the best video I've seen today!

[@jefdamen2977]

***** Nice drone shots

[@craigt5906]

Mac 675LT Jag F-Type SVR Aston GT12 are my favorite British cars of all time!

[@loganjones1672]

Probably the highest quality content on KZbin right now. The editing on this video is superb, credits where it's due to Chris and Neil, fantastic job! An absolute joy to watch, no wonder there's such a gap between videos, but I don't mind waiting two weeks or so if the content is of this quality. Keep it up guys!

[@Chuckyflash]

One of the best, if not THE best filmed car video on KZbin. You are in a class of your own. Outstanding.

[@DouEditz]

Still drooling six years later

[@Youtubedotcomma]

Top gear and fifth gear who?! I'll stick with Mr Harris thanks! Great work as always!

[@samedman1]

1:30 dear god, if only that noise kept going on forever...

[@Rodrigoxki]

still waiting for that RS6 long-term test

[@neilmcmahon]

Rodrigo Pinto maybe it is a VERY long-term test....

[@StefanoTrefano]

that car is long gone

[@Rodrigoxki]

StefanoTrefano so was the FF but he still did it

[@1991julez]

Chris Harris. You sir are a MASTER of car control. What ever you do, never stop making videos like this!

[@AeonSXChannel]

Always a pleasure to watch :)

[@viriatvsoflvsitania5422]

The aerial shot from 2:14 to 2:24 is absolutely breathtaking... great work Alistar! The whole video is superb, with a great "this is what driving really is" lesson from Chris in the awesome new Aston Martin Vantage GT12! You guys are THE car channel to watch. Congratulations to all the team.

[@JonathanMitchellPhotography]

Love the new over the shoulder camera and zoom. Really great sound work in this. Whoa new camera and editor?

[@camryt]

Jonathan Mitchell Not to say Neil was bad or anything, but the new guy does awesome job. Great shots everywhere.

[@Patriiiiick]

Jonathan Mitchell According to Chris' Twitter, a company called TrackdayFilms stepped in to help with shooting and the editing. I'm guessing Neil wasn't available at the time.

[@JonathanMitchellPhotography]

Nope not a new sub. It's not the camera angle that was new. It was the style of the whole program.

[@MK48Mod1]

I always take great pleasure in viewing your videos Mr chris harris. When you look at your videos you can see at what point of loving you as well as cars and driving them to the limit.

[@MikeSmith-rd9fi]

Just fantastic! My days are always better when I see a new video came out.Upping my Patreon donation now!

[@leviathan7250]

1 like does not suffice the gratitude I have for Chris Harris and his work with cars. A true driver and an absolute magician when it comes to drifting!!

[@xavierjones4574]

Ben Caprara fund him on Patreon, however much you want

[@trulyinfamous]

The Aston Martin v12 vantage gt3 is my favorite car in Project Cars. It feels so damn good to drive in that game.

[@flangmasterj]

Some seriously physical driving there. Always impressive Chris.

[@Kaisuke971]

You miss Top Gear ? Here are both Stig and hosts in a single body.

[@the-boring-car-guy]

Kaisuke971 very well put

[@TobRacer]

This car makes me feel sad. Cause it's an end of an era of NA V12, V10, V8, Flat 6.... And we won't see anymore cars like this astonishing Vantage GT12. Also, this car holds probably the last best engine ever made. Two original Ford V6 to become a 5.9 V12 only built for Astons for about 15 years. From the Vanquish, the DB9, DBR9, DBS, V12 Vantage, Lola AM DBR1-2 LMP1, V12 Vantage GT3, CC-100 to this final GT12. I'm going to miss that engine a lot... Great review Chris. Thank you and thanks to your team for these awesome footage.

[@bobanppvc]

5:39 that scene is so good

[@majestymanny123]

I smile involuntarily when I watch this videos thank you

[@fattiewsup]

Damn this video was well put together and filmed, good work!

[@stevengore578]

What an amazing car. Fantastic Chris. That noise....epic.

[@zeusdog34]

oh man, absolutely badass review.... You are right ,the sound is one of if not the best sounnding exhaust notes EVER..I love everything about this Aston..Only thing I would change would be the color..Ha-ha ..Super high end with a Muscle car feel..That's what I get from the review.. Anyway great review, badass Auto...

[@tysanborn375]

Sooooooooooo frigin GOOD!!!!!!!!!!! Nice job Chris, beautifully done.

[@AntoniusTyas]

Somehow the camera job feels a bit TopGear-ish. Which is no bad thing. No bad thing at all. Can't get tired of that howling V12 though

[@marcananda5366]

REALLY LOVE THIS Road Car GT12

[@madbloodbandofficial]

Did he said "proper car! proper FUCK! " at 09.42 ?? I LMFAO !! hahaha

[@the-boring-car-guy]

Tula Pitutacha listened to it twice, on the second I heard thug

[@Hless421]

I lost it when he started whipping it about. The noise that engine makes and the way Chris drives this thing was just so much fun.

[@ZachBillings]

Great video. You guys have definitely upped your game a bit on the cinematography side of things. Also this car turns my opinion of Aston around. I thought they were way behind the times and quite boring based on what's out there these days. This car is seriously cool.

[@paskowitz]

Huge props to Niel with the cinematography. The drone shots and slowly zooming interior shots were awesome..

[@danisaelwm]

Chris has some serious drifting skills putting expensive machinery on the edge of control. Great shots where you could actually see the adrenaline rush in his facial expression. Those who haven't done this, don't know what they are missing!

[@carswithluke]

So much want!

[@samlawts1193]

I must have watched this a million times. What a car.

[@Gfffgfggf]

I like Neil's editing better. I'll give credit to that in-car camera behind the seats, other than that, from the cuts to the music choice, I think Neils was better. Does anything happened to him?

[@carcrazyafrica]

Gonçalo Ferreira wondered the same thing; i thought wow Neil's gone for a different look this time till i saw the credits...wasn't bad for me just different

[@ianfid]

Gonçalo Ferreira Yes thought the same here, not sure on the music selection and maybe not as smoothly put together as Neil. Did like the camera zooming behind the seats.

[@Patriiiiick]

Gonçalo Ferreira According to Chris' Twitter, a company called TrackdayFilms stepped in to help with shooting and the editing. I'm guessing Neil wasn't available at the time.

[@surenraj6450]

was expecting neil's name to pop up..:( where's Neil,Chris?

[@bobanppvc]

Gonçalo Ferreira i like this music better. 5:39 is scene that is fucking good

[@MrNvme90]

Holy fuck, I say this during all his videos, but Chris Harris can drive. Even more so impressive that he can explain what's going on while doing it.

[@Coobyliscous]

Best car journalist, end of.

[@sdoubleu210]

some of the camera and production work you guys are doing these days is really just unbelievable. makes pretty much every other car review channel on youtube look like hobbyists

[@juancargts]

Glorious V12 sound, not high pitched or annoying. I can see myself making 10 hour drive just listening to that V12

[@varunreddy9359]

there's something magical about Aston Martin v12 just fantabulously majestic!!!

[@RoshanTorcy]

Ehhh... I don't know if I should commend Aston for not just plopping a ZF Tans in the thing and be done with it to get high praise from everyone and their mum like most of the other manufacturers do or if I should slap them for including an outdated single clutch system in a 250k limited edition car as one would expect such a thing to be built to the highest standards. Well, they are all sold out anyway so who am I to judge. :|

[@Kaisuke971]

Roshan Torcy The gearbox is part of the experience. The Vantage GT12 is a very pure car, and this is, besides a manual (but this does not really represent racing nowadays), the purest and most mechanical form of flappy paddle gearbox you can get.

[@Beer_Dad1975]

Roshan Torcy Might as well let someone who knows what they are doing build the transmission IMO, rather than trying to cobble something together in house - I'm sure it's a fun exercise for the engineers, but they clearly either don't have the resources, or aren't capable of building a competitive transmission. But yeah, it's Aston Martin, they can get away with flaws and still sell out.

[@MrRoyalestCrown]

Roshan Torcy There maybe limitations regarding the torque, but I don't think it is likely. They would have to reprogram the computer to use the different ratios, etc which might be too great of a hassle instead of modifying a sort of tried and true in house gearbox. Also, keep in mind that Aston Martin is not doing so well money-wise.

[@alexpeak16]

Roshan Torcy The purist in me still thinks this should have a manual gearbox to gain an advantage over the Porsche GT3. My issue is; why do they get these gearboxes so wrong when Ferrari got them so right with the 430 Scuderia and 599 GTO? I remember when you could get conversions to a manual gearbox for an original Vanquish S.

[@Beer_Dad1975]

Alex Peak I think Ferrari outsource most of their gearbox design to Graziano Trasmissioni and Getrag, who know their way around a cog or two. Seriously, it's such a difficult thing to get right unless you have huge resources and a dedicated division working on it, you just aren't going to compete.

[@Desus80]

I never though I could ever said that but...A big wing on an Aston, and it looks good. Just an amazing machine.

[@jami7772]

wow cinematography is on a new level. Apart from the drone shots the slow zooming from the rear is a new one but effective! keep up the cool vlogs Chris.

[@soyeux27]

Super videogame-like shots from the camera in the cabin. Keep up the good work, Chris and the team!

[@ArthurZakaryan23]

That road especially shown off with the helicopter shot is amazing, perfect place for this car and any high profile supercar.

[@chron123]

We all know a lot of us here use adblock and yes i know how annoying some ads can be on some pages. However, ads are pretty much the only way youtubers get revenue from youtube. You can help Chris and other actual good youtubers by left clicking the adblock button, and whitelist their channels. I mean, it doesn't hurt to wait five seconds and skip the ad, while genuinely passionate video makers like Chris gets their deserved support, right?

[@TheoGregoire]

This Chris Harris on Cars chap is absolutely brilliant.

[@chrisdblue]

"squeezed 600hp from the v12" eh? lol. Aston really had their work cut out for them...

[@TassieLorenzo]

chrisdblue Well since it's just two Mondeo V6s joined togehter, they had their work cut out for them to make something special out of it... :)

[@XSV9222]

haha I thought the same thing.

[@Mediarahan003]

chrisdblue Austin isn't even the main engineer don't pick on Austin.

[@Soulvex]

chrisdblue aston.

[@Nemoticon]

TassieLorenzo The Mondeo V6 is actually a very good engine and a great place to start from. It was developed by Cosworth don't forget.

[@The416punchaman]

Just awesome! What a beast of an Aston Martin the GT12 is! It definitely has boy racer looks, but the ppl buying this are still children at heart. Also, love the drone/heli footage too. Beautifully shot and presented/written as always! Thanks Chris & team!

[@tommyerhardt3640]

Quality is spot on. Amazing video, they all are. Keep it up.

[@DreamCarGarage1]

A thoroughly pointless machine for rich people. For crying out loud Aston just design a new car!

[@Prodriver33]

That V12 is so distinctive. It doesn’t sound like any other V12. Most V12 have a more harmonious joining of cylinder firing, like a musical instrument. This is like a big V8 with a spicy 4 banger friend next to it. You can hear every one of the 12 explosions individually.

[@romandulce999]

Too bad they made this car garbage in Forza Horizon 3 :D

[@umarazhar6311]

roman dulce how bad?

[@romandulce999]

Really bad :) Ints too unstable in S1 and too slow in S2...

[@Michael-wq7kx]

Chris...Hi from Australia. Simple love your work to bits! Thank You

[@guywheeler4225]

I've watched your videos for 8 years and this is one of my favorite

[@remiestelle6939]

This V12 sound makes my day! Thanks from France Chris!!

[@patrickpierre6114]

Again... brilliant work. Chris could be behind the wheel of a Festiva and I would be glued to the tube.

[@edwardfeast]

That noise is just evangelical, it can genuinely bring a tear to my eye. There is no better word, it has such a soulful, emotional wail to it that I just can't help but feel addicted to it

[@tomwanks2294]

I might create more accounts so that I can subscribe more than once. You and your crew's videos are always something to look forward to. I love it.

[@MrVollidioten]

Wait.. is this really only a KZbin-show?! I can't believe it because it's so professional! Awesome!

[@juliencourteille6995]

Hello Chris, Just amazing to see you each week from Belgium. My English is not very good but when you explain and make feel what is your passion, it's just wonderfull!! Just continue to make us dream!! It will be great you organize a test road and track meeting with Steve Sutcliffe, Dickie Meaden, Jethro Bovingdon, Henry Catchpole, Tiff Needle(you did it with the Speciale and GT3), etc... Thanks again for your perfect knowledge and driving experience.

[@Marc1d1Rose]

Man I miss this Chris that gave us real in depth look..

[@samshimmin8562]

The styling may be a final swansong, but that exhaust note is timeless.

[@drumnbass8]

Genuine goosebumps watching that, what a car, and WHAT a noise!!

[@Patriiiiick]

Those top down aerial shots are fantastic.

[@ArunNarasimhan_arun1997107]

Wow...the shot at 10:30 will stay with me forever. What a noise. Seriously. What. A. Noise.

[@jackelliott123]

Those 100 people are going to make soo much money on these in 10 years time. Best sounding v12 ever

[@EvanMJones]

I've said this before but honestly want to make sure it's seen. The overhead shots (dji inspire?) are absolutely lovely. the long tracking shot though the s curve where the camera stayed straight over the grass is spectacular. keep up the good work.

[@muttbone01]

CHRIST that shooting location in the hills is spectacular! I've been to the UK, an no, it doesn't ALWAYS rain, but I didn't see anything like this either!

[@PMcGuffin]

I like the aerial photography on this video, nicely done.

[@josh9220]

Epic once again... Chris Harris for car journalist of the year☝️

[@SergeantMoetz]

Looks like this Aston is filled with raw and pure emotions and is a real hoonigan. I really would have had bought one if I had the money, my favorite british car at the moment.

[@ChristopherBurgessTaskbar]

Good film work, feels like its more about the cars and less about being a pretty video project. Albeit that the film work is amazing but just fits better. Some of the latest videos have been all about all about cinematography and scenery slow mo's. Nothing better than seeing Chris Harris driving the nuts out of something and having a face paced car focused edit. Top work

[@unijoe]

Awesome car, great driving and fantastic cinematography!

[@ericgardner3877]

Cheers,Chris, you are one hell of a driver in almost anything you get behind the wheel of. I must also say your reviews are superb, hitting all the key points. Keep the sticky side down mate.

[@JordanPayneLV]

What an amazing car and filming! Top work guys

[@toddkennedy3929]

Chris Harris please never stop doing what you do one of the best ever car reviewers you need your own show, would gladly pay a subscription just to watch your videos Thank You

[@williamcarlsson8669]

Wish more than anything I could just buy you a beer to thank you for making these videos, Chris. Nothing comes even close. Can't wait for the next one!

[@MrManuel1329]

Now this is a proper thoroughbred! such a beast!

[@VenomousGarage]

Viceral exhaust notes. Love this car.

[@giuniral]

AMAZING material. I'm subscribed to an infinity of YT channels. For car lovers, this is the best material possible. The driving, the filming, the editing, the writing. All very well done. Great job. Greetings from Brazil.

[@jamesstorey5902]

I must say, some excellent filmography and music in this episode, top job!

[@l3agel]

What a drive Chris. My heart rate is a little elevated! I've been watching for a long time, I'll be subscribing to see this stuff.

[@lynx7575]

Chris, great job as always! Cheers, Marco.

[@86minority]

Chris, your films really are beautifully shot.

[@brunoamedoreiii10]

heroic wet-road driving! really enjoy your work. sounds great indeed

[@TheMrCrumble]

that noise and looks... fantastic car. awesome video as always :)

[@sterlingsilver320]

The gearbox in these Astons may have a slight hesitation during upshifts but, during that pause the momentary backfire from the exhaust is absolutely mega.

[@nondvcordvco4244]

Chris, since top gear is gone, you're doing the best presentations, keep on

[@xavierjones4574]

this is one of the best videos you've done

[@alisterlor9135]

The scenery along those roads are amazing!

[@kelvc6512]

It's absolutely mesmerising the way you get car sideways
