New 2024 Aston Martin Vantage. I discover all the geeky details with Aston's head of Performance

What a beautiful looking car. Aston Martin really have knocked this out the park.

Overall it looks good, but i'm really not a fan of the black rear diffuser. There's too much going on there.

[@kraenk12]

[@mattwhitfield77]

Coming from a prior owner of a 2021 Vantage, this thing is EXCITING! This fixes so many things that I didn’t like about my Vantage. And this front end is stunning! The interior 🤯 I. WANT. On another note, I very much look forward to your videos - this is no exception. Enough depth and information without being boring. Great one!

[@rescyn1190]

Well done for Aston for putting an engineer out there instead of the usual polo-necked design wankery we normally get subjected to.

That's a Euro thing. Just like those hilarious & trite Euro-pop adverts of the cars driving through cities at night or out in the mountains/countryside with that God-awful accompanying dialogue.

Because it is! The same grille, the same air intake behind the front wheel, the same proportions. But in principle I don’t think it’s bad. One 77 is one of the best cars.

[@Konszky]

@@Neo_LV69 ...as they always have?

[@r0smor]

@MisterLovaLova I agree with your sentiment, but I blame Gen Y rather than the manufacturers. They're only making what their customers demand. Just like Gen Z's first question about any product is, "can I operate it using my phone?", Gen Y's first question is, "how big's the screen?" It's why Teslas have been so successful.

[@Konszky]

@@Neo_LV69 people constantly complain about how everything is so high tech and digital. Depending on constant flow of electricity. Because that´s gonna break one day and you have to switch the entire screen, consol or control unit. Changing a cheap (not 5k, what are you on about?) button or a switch every once in a while, is 100% more preferable.

[@woodreg]

@@Neo_LV69 utter nonsense. whole point of buttons is that they are always in the same place, you don't need to take your eyes off the road as your muscle memory knows where they are. if they wear out, then they're made from cheap materials. Manufacturers went to screens to save money, and accommodate more advanced features. Fine for using a screen to adjust some infrequently used setting, but for Hvac, audio, seat heating etc buttons are way better. So kudos to Aston here for doing the right thing, that customers actually want. Not everyone wants a cheap, rubbish interior like a Tesla where they even have got rid of column stalks...

[@alhemmings8554]

I'm impressed that AM have been so quick to rectify the design and interior gripes that affected DB11 and Vantage sales in the past few years. The latest batch of cars since DBX are so desirable. Any chance of a less manic inline-6 version for us sub-plutocrats, say 500bhp? I know Mercedes has a rather nice one knocking around in the E-class and CLS. It'd be very Aston.

[@HerewardTheW]

Great idea, keeping the spirit of Tadek Marek alive!

[@XantoS771]

They use the Mercedes inline 6 on the chinese market DBX, they should consider putting it in this "base" Aston, similar to Bentley's V8 & W12 engine choices
