FIRST LOOK: Aston Martin Vanquish - Ferrari 12Cilindri Or This?

Which are you choosing: Ferrari 12Cilindri or this?

Never thought i’d say this but the Aston. Ferrari’s design language fell off recently (apart from the 296) which is a shame as that N/A V12 must be glorious

[@almac9203]

Ian Callum came up with the modern Aston Martin design language. That was the pinnacle of car design. Every subsequent Aston Martin designer is basically tweaking his perfect design. All Aston's look good because they are derivations of Ian Callum's design however they can't really improve on his work.

[@SellingLAandMiami]

This is the smartest comment I’ve seen in the two reviews so far. Ian is the man. As a 2nd gen Vanquish Volante owner as well as a 2017 Jag F-Type R convt I really think Ian has to be one of the very best coach designers ever. I think the back end of this Vanquish looks like a pick up truck door. Side is nice with wide deck sills and the front looks about the same as previous models. Interior is great

[@gwolks1008]

Exactly!! Callum was peak modern Aston design. What a shame.

[@IanBirch-v7y]

They need to take that rear 3/4 shot of this car and redesign the front around that same language because its gorgeous from that angle, and while I'll never be a fan of modern interiors that steering wheel and panel is miles better than what Ferrari are doing. Give me a carbon fiber roof for more head room and a lower center of gravity than a glorified window though.

[@AmosDohms]

Totally agree. I like the front on the Vantage, on this it kinda lets the car down. Aston still hasn't found a way to top the looks of their VH cars.

I completely agree. At least make the grill black. A redesign would be better but I think if it were at least black, it would go a long way.

Regarding the roof: I have a 2015 Vanquish with the carbon roof and Alcantara headliner, and I sometimes find myself wishing I had glass up there to make the interior a bit lighter, which makes it look/feel bigger inside. Mine feels quite dark. At least now there's an option. I do wish it had the electrochromic tint, though, a shame that wasn't possible.

The new rear is interesting and unique. I'd like to see it in dark green with those bronze wheels. One criticism: why is the badge green? It should be black.

How you going to present a new V12 without letting us hear it roar 😓

[@markdance574]

Having driven afew AM I can honestly say whilst the exterior styling has often been quite nice I’d never once thought I’d buy one over the same Ferrari option . This new AM again looks nice but it’s also like someone mounted a sports car body onto a 40ft flatbed lorry chassis

[@DaveJordan310]

...big, brutish...?? With just 5,2 l? Your description of the motor (around 12-13 mins in) is inaccurate and misleading. Aston elected to do it with turbo vs Ferrari doing it with more displacement and many more revs...two very different approaches, which you don't do justice.

[@kero-x8l]

Twin turbo bro it would definitely feel more Brutish with all that torque and less revs

[@DaveJordan310]

@@kero-x8l point taken re turbo torque, but the "real deal" has to be high revving NA. There is just no other spine tingling sound like a V12 (even a V10) at 8 or 9000 rpm. It is just glorious. Sounds like F1 from a couple of decades back 😊👌

[@kero-x8l]

@@DaveJordan310 I agree that the v12 in Ferrari is preferable to this... It's a bit of a nightmare to actually own though

[@DaveJordan310]

@@kero-x8l true, just ask DDE 😂🤣😂 But funnily enough, most of their troubles seem to be with anything other than the motors of their 3 or 4 (5?) Ferrari V12's. But it's really difficult to decide which sounds sweeter: Ferrari or Lambo? Or BMW or AMG? There has been a great history of legendary, naturally aspirated V12's over the years, and these may sadly be the final incarnation of these glorious machines. Long live the NA V12 😊💪💪 PS. Given the ideal piston volume of around 500cc, that explains why the most successful versions are all around 6 liters, 6,2, 6,3, 6,5...not 5,2l. I hope that 5,2l plus all that plumbing is really well insulated and ventilated, otherwise they're bound to suffer extreme heat soak 🤦 Aston have consistently been on my very short list of most beautiful cars in the world, but I can't recall them ever being on my list of turbocharging experts 🤔🤔🧐🤔😏

Oh my goodness me. I expected a front similar to the Valor. This is beautiful

[@sutats]

Nice looking ride. Aston Martin hopefully will secure a bigger market from the other marquees.

[@derekb5749]

I may be back in love with a Vanquish.

[@Roddy_Zeh]

The first-gen Vanquish is *still* my favorite. I'd gladly take one, with a 6-speed manual conversion and the 600-hp naturally aspirated 5.9L V12 from the V12 Vantage RS concept car, or even, boldly, the 750-hp 7.3L from the One-77. I don't mind if they lack in power over the new model, but I'd definitely choose it over this one.

[@manuelvpr]

Aston has done it again. It is better than the previous model and quite close to the limited 1-77. This car is gorgeous. Aston design is just world class.

[@jamessellards7157]

That is automotive port. What a beautiful car.

[@olatundeaboaba]

This has to be one of the most beautiful cars out there today.

[@chrishepworth6801]

Is it just me or are Aston Martin on a roll at the moment? That thing is stunning!

[@LaczPro]

While I've always said the best Aston is the tiniest Aston (the Vantage. My all-time favorite sports car), it is lovely to see the company bringing back the Vanquish in a big way. I see some cues from the Taraf, the One-77, and the current Astons, which is nice to see, but also it is its own thing which is awesome. This is going to be a great grand tourer, though it makes me wonder about the future of the DBs.
