[@TheSlowoldman]

So funny you mention the Daytona... I was thinking Ferrari is close to the Daytona but there is just something off....the front of the car is much better looking than the rear (that is where it resembles the Daytona most to me) maybe it's the way the indicators/daytime running lights stick out from the body lines that just make me think close but not quite..... the rear loses the plot for me......weird fender bumps out of nowhere and the super thin LED tail lights.... I'm missing the round tail lights that are so Ferrari to me. I want to like the rear window treatment but it just seems off or overdone...Overall, I just can't seem to get behind this design.

[@CatsAreRubbish]

Nah. Big creamy smooth engine with plenty of low-range torque is perfect for a grand tourer. S65 Coupe, new Vanquish, Brooklands, all those cars have engines with a tsunami wave of torque mated with auto 'box, and it is a perfect recipe for cross-continent trip.

Then drove one and cancelled my order as all I found to be the fun of the 812 was gone. Was never an F12 fan. Very strange suspension, a bit like the Cali. On one hand very soft with a lot of body roll, on the other they somehow managed to make the suspension annoyingly busy. The 812 is planted when you want it to be, and one of the most happy and playful cars that eggs you on when you start to push. For me having driven the F12 and 812 back to back several times, made me have zero doubt as to how good the 812 is.

'V12 owners don't drive their cars much, that means people don't like V12s anymore so they're selling them' or 'V12s have low mileage when owners sell them, that must mean that they're worried they're gonna break so they don't drive them'.

Well mileage is linked directly to how much they are driven and more importantly debunks the notion they drive them on long cross country journeys.

Ferrari another level

[@heint8169]

The Ferrari is really engineered. What a dream.

22:22 that view tho

[@MamiDgg]

Daamn, top gear now vids are amazing😮❤

[@monaro383]

great video, thankyou for sliding the cars everywhere during the vid, cannot watch reviews without the drifting.

[@hoody3758]

difficult choice. Aston looks better, but Ferrari is Ferrari.

[@greathey1234]

I'm an Aston Martin owner so this is ab easy decision

[@all-caps3927]

Ok maybe the Aston looks a little more polished but it gets harder and harder to differentiate the Aston martins from each other. I'm a very avid enthusiast that knows every Lamborghini, every single modern Ferrari and which lineage they belong to, every McLaren, every pagani, Bugatti, koenigsegg etc etc. but Aston Martin simply has the most convoluted lineage of cars ever - they essentially have 3 main line cars that all do the same thing and its tiring. I think the 12c looks very sleek and futuristic, it looks much better outside Ferrari press shots which somehow always look awful. I think its a good looking car but people hate Ferrari for the sake of Ferrari these days, its so tiring.

[@cn27videos18]

​@@all-caps3927I totally agree.

[@space.youtube]

Complaining that the new Ferrari GT car is capable of being the GT car the 812 wasn't is an interesting criticism? Seems to me like you're trying to frame the comparison in terms that flatter the Aston because it can't hang with the Ferrari otherwise. 🤔

[@aardvarkmindshank]

The Ferrari looks breathtakingly fresh and elegant to me. The AM just looks iterative over every other prior model. Boring.

[@Marctastic1]

Facts

[@christophebrou1178]

I agree

[@BOOSTEDDUDE]

Both of them are amazing! Thanks for the awesome video!👍

[@aakashchand5041]

The cinematography, the location...the cars...My God, such a blessing to have these

[@lorcanmaher9249]

That's the best looking Aston since the DB7. That's the worst looking Ferrari I've ever seen.

[@IYKYK-UK]

I think it's one of the ugliest since the DB7! The front end looks like they've taken the (stunning) DB11 and just pulled it wide.

[@treapyoney5886]

As a ferrari fan, i'm disappointed

[@F1ll1nTh3Blanks]

Why, fundamentally, it's still a good car.

[@dogguy-pr9pw]

Me too it’s so ugly 😢😢

[@ALMX5DP]

@@F1ll1nTh3Blanksbeing a “good” car is only part of the equation. A Ferrari is suppose to also stir the soul. Seems like at least for Jethro this newest iteration didn’t quite do that.

[@jansedlak8505]

It's still the best GT car that you can currently buy. Arguably sexier than the Aston, lighter, and with a better sounding V12.

[@mossessolomon441]

i know its hideous

[@powerslider30477]

12Cilindri, easy decision.

[@mariodiniz21]

Beautiful video, and 10 stars for Jethro, he's on top of the game, best in the business!

[@reinmansmith]

Two amazing cars …. But the cinematography is the star here along with the roads and scenery, absolute perfection 🤩

[@thebreakbarrelshow]

Personally I think this new 12 cylinder is very poor. It looks like it should have come before the 812 not the other way around. Aston Martin new models are killing it lately. Ferrari, I think they've lost their touch the last 2 years.

[@leeryan1969]

Totally agree

[@powerslider30477]

Absolutely disagree with that.

[@DevKumar-bi2ld]

In 5 years you will be praising the ferrari design

[@powerslider30477]

@@DevKumar-bi2ld Looking at some of the comments here, some ot them have started to appreciate the 12Cilindri's design in just 5 months or so.

[@DevKumar-bi2ld]

@@powerslider30477 indeed, hate it today, love it tomorrow, that's always been case with ferrari design

[@kokibalboa9527]

In 10 years or more this Ferrari will look even better and will be the most wanted . The Aston will be forgotten

[@mohamednawfeltoumi77]

Was thinking the same, 12 cilendri is an ode to Daytona, and the last V12 motor, it has the exact design to keep it value very high

[@aston-martin-internationalist]

I don't know, I almost forgot about the FF, but remember the DBS extremely well.

[@edward92128]

@@aston-martin-internationalist I mean, you do have Aston Martin as your username so it’s hardly surprising you feel like that

[@aed2047]

The Ferrari looks cleaner and fresher. The Aston is more of the same but still very nice on the eye. DCT gearbox of the Ferrari will make it a much better car to drive in the end. Shame it’s a little quiet but the n/a engine is superior. I can see why Jethro favours the Aston in this test but I don’t think it will turn out to be a better car.

[@mintimage]

Beautifully filmed! Thank you for sharing

[@louisalexallen]

Production quality here is absolutely immense. Congrats to the team

[@edward92128]

The vanquish has the exact same interior and headlights as Astons entry level car. For the money they’re charging, you’d expect something more unique to that model

[@maximborodyuk3773]

good thing ferrari is not like that...oh wait

[@0llieeNZ]

What? Like a v12 and different body ?

[@KentPhillips]

In the Vanquish’s defense they’re not nickel and diming you like Ferrari does. The base car has so much as far as options it seems like. For example every panel is body panel is Carbon fiber so the exposed carbon pieces that you see come as standard.

[@aston-martin-internationalist]

"Exact"....no, it definitely doesn't.

[@edward92128]

@@aston-martin-internationalist The headlights are exactly the same and the interior is basically the same.

[@aless569]

In 5, 10 years, we'll still be talking about the 12cilindri. Not the Vanquish... 😉

[@Shawnthesheep1]

vanquish is unmatched

[@francescotrombetta8548]

Mid compared to the ferrari

[@sevensixtysteve8662]

What an epic episode and so much for the eyes to feast on in an outstanding piece of film. The scenery makes me want to jump in the car and go there immediately. Sadly I don't have either of these cars to go in, but if I was offered a choice, it would be tough. I love the Daytona vibes of the Ferrari but the Aston is flat out stunning and the closing piece to camera of Jethro leaning on it is such an iconic look, I would take the Aston. What a beautiful car.

[@LucienMarc777]

Another outstanding piece of motoring journalism! I love a proper, honest shootout, too. Mine would be the AM, all day. Bravo, Mr Stroll.

[@RaphaëlF-r1w]

To me, the Ferrari look just sooo Ugly and as the same time, I never saw a car as beautiful as the Vanquish
