DRIVING the stunning NEW Aston Martin Vantage | Henry Catchpole - The Driver's Seat

[@HenryCatchpole]

Hope you all enjoy this! After the DB12 last year, it feels like Aston is on a bit of a roll and I loved the exterior spec of this silver car (even the green brake calipers, which was a surprise). Familiar but in a good way. Thank you, as ever for watching, commenting, liking, subscribing, sharing and all that good stuff. It really does help us.

[@shaheenevans]

Another top review 👌🏻

[@tamasszabo8824]

It raked my moon. Top notch review as always.

[@cavb748]

You look far too tall next to the Vantage. Awesome job. ¡Greetings from México!

[@gordonmills2748]

So damned happy to see your reviews here. I'm not sold on the green bits, but then...I don't have to worry about being able to afford such poor choices. Well done.

[@potbellyfatguyfromnewyorkcity]

this car always reminds me of old people due to james bond. a guy in his middle age who is aging out into retirement...

[@ericmin832]

It looks absolutely gorgeous, like a baby One-77, I would definitely get this over a 911 Turbo, but idk why I'm speaking as if I'm not a broke ass college student

[@dammyo6010]

Hey, we can all dream can't we! Maybe someday you look back on this comment and laugh before taking your Vantage out for a drive. God bless!

I have to admit, I love that the front is a bit of a throwback to the One-77.

[@omerfarukcan4407]

The rival of this car is Roma not Turbo S.

[@Gaudine]

@@omerfarukcan4407Roma is considered a GT car so the rival of that would be the DB12. The Ferrari won’t depreciate like the Aston Martin and I think it’s also a nicer car. Certainly less fussy and more understated which astons used to be.

I read a comment many years ago under one of HCs videos which simply said “I could listen to this man describe a cheese sandwich “ still true to this day. Aston also amazing.

This has got to be the prettiest I’ve seen this car on KZbin! Catchpole hit it out of the park yet again. Thank you Hagerty for enabling videos like this, and Camissa’s Piechisode to continue being produced. With Top Gear gone and Grand Tour going the way of the dodo soon, you’re our only hope.

You can't deny they make a gorgeous car, and that interior looks better than many other current cars twice its price with manufacturers using haptic buttons and massive screens.

Henry Catchpole- Superb Automotive Journalism. I wish his videos would come out a little more frequently than they presently do. His expressions and overall knowledge are a real treat to watch, as a car enthusiast.

[@JamesPink-j2k]

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... I love all the power of the 4.3 living at 7000 (7300 on mine now) makes it a strange experience from turbo engine fed drivers. Just brilliant, A great achievement!

Love my '19 Vantage and this video confirms the new, new Vantage is an improvement. I've driven mine on track and like he said, the Vantage is just...fun. Not hard-edged track monster like a GT3RS but definitely capable on-track. A great combination of speed, beauty, ability on-track and on the road, and cool Bond.

I hope we get a V12 Vantage with the facelift.

[@culloutoltec9111]

it's gone way past stunning to freakingly, magnificently beautiful..

[@kiwi335d]

Henry you uniquely presented this car in a way others didn’t, showing it in a way that makes one want to buy one and head straight on a European tour with it. Aston should gift you this very car.

[@--Wingman--]

I actually love the fact there is no technical evolution like a hybrid engine, just old school V8 power. But there is a lot going on with this Vantage, it’s not just a facelift, it’s a new car. They fixed almost all the issues with the last generation…

[@gonzochild]

Catchpole is my go to for reviews. Consistently excellent.

[@GeordieAmanda]

Henry and Steve Sutcliffe both reviewing this beautiful car is a wonderful thing for me (you both have such soothing voices). The widescreen format enhances this particular video too. Lovely job (as always) Mr Catchpole

[@dwolfism]

I love Porsches and have a GT3 and two others. But this car is absolutely stunning!! For me it would never replace my GT3, but I would take it over the Porsche Turbo any day!!

[@thehomelessproject3784]

That amg v8 is a masterpiece easily one of the best twin turbo v8s ever made

[@adrianharrison5208]

Its a shame Aston Martin can't make there own engine

[@thehomelessproject3784]

@adrianharrison5208 they probably could. They made their own v12, but it would probably be a 4.0 v8 twin turbo anyway... don't forget these engines are forged from the factory and are capable of 1000hp on stock internals reliably, and you can do that relatively cheaply... where as the 4.4 from a m5 you'd struggle to make 750hp+ reliably and to go any further would be 50k plus to build the engine...

[@adrianharrison5208]

@thehomelessproject3784 If they could, then they would be doing so. Can you imagine Ferrari with a Mercedes engine? They would go bankrupt overnight.

[@thehomelessproject3784]

@adrianharrison5208 not necessarily... pagani uses AMG V12'S Noble uses the volvo v8 out of xc90... nothing wrong with it and like I said that amg 4.0 is capable of serious power... ferrari and aston are chalk and cheese... don't forget the 6.0 v12 was 2 ford v6s ... even with the valkeriye it was cosworth developed Ferrari is a much bigger company...

[@adrianharrison5208]

@thehomelessproject3784 All the companies you mentioned are not in the same league as Aston Martin, who once apon a time were in the same league as Ferrari. How the mighty have fallen. Spoke to my wife about this last night, we will be shopping for a 911 once we have moved to the US

Just scrolled through 50+ videos in my subscription feed and came back to this. Not disappointed

[@projectg408]

This is an absolutely perfect looking car. Best looking Aston to date IMO. Better looking even than the DB12. If it came in a manual, I’d do just about anything to obtain one lol. The ONLY detractors are they don’t make their own engines, which would be pretty cool, and they don’t offer a manual. The go to competitor for this car is 100% the 911. And Porsche makes their own engines and offer trims in manual. I think I’d still pick the Vantage tho.

Aston Martin did GREAT job with new Vantage! Henry always has great videos.

[@wisruteb]

Finally a Vantage as it meant to be. 🎉. Thanks for another solid review.

[@Petrospect]

This review definitely Fingered my Gold. In other words, worth staying up at 2 in the morning to see it accidentally. Not surprised it's not a precision instrument but for something to cruise down the coast with some panache, looking mysterious set to a great soundtrack... this may as well be like Lazenby's DBS. I sure hope it's more memorable than that. Sounds like it delivers! I just wish it wasn't Turbo S priced. For how good it looks though and how much One77 I'm getting out of it too, what a thing.

[@R8andGT3Fan]

The car looks really nice, but the new front end is too "friendly-looking". I would've liked a more angry headlight. The AMG V8 seems to sound A LOT better here than it does in any Benz! Great review, as always! Henry rules! 😎

Hagerty's videos and commentary is so beautiful. Almost like a 1950s British Pathè news reporter with a mixture of Sir David Attenborough. His video on the DB12 was absolutely glorious. This makes it doubly better. Nearly Clarksonian in describing a Aston. Bloody lovely this video is. ❤

[@nonamenameless5495]

Yet another great review...and gee, Aston Martin is on a roll, the new DB12 interior makes a world of difference to both cars and finally the Vantage looks like an Aston again...and not a blown up MX5/Miata. Think they also made the right choice not focusing on its track performance but more on the playful and sporty GT side of things. That sets it apart from Porsche and others. I d say it s the Charlene Wittstock/ of Monaco of cars, very athletic but unlike the superstars in sports: simply looks great and graceful no matter the circumstances... like an Aston should be.

Aston has finally caught up to today in the interior, they always look great almost timeless styling but I always thought I’d get in thinking oh that a ten year U.K. interior that was even dated looking back. But what a Car……..I’m fully onboard with the EV transition but let’s just enjoy that engine and engineering while we can. An instant modern classic in the making. Yes some may say it’s just a AMG Mercedes in a fancy dress but is that a bad thing I don’t know. I don’t want to blast around a race course ( yes it’s fun) I’d want to effortlessly blast across continents. 👍
