Taken Too Far? NEW Aston Martin V12 Vantage 700bhp 200mph Review

I honestly wouldn’t care how heavy it is, how stiff it is, or what else you could get for that money, just look at it 😍

[@rscholey85]

For 265k … you could get a house maybe two, a Porsche , Ferrari pretty much anything better …theirs a reason why Aston Martin isn’t as profitable as other car brands . looks don’t don’t cut it when other car company’s do things way better

[@beluwuga]

Bro cars nowadays are making a comeback. See 1st gen impala then a 2006 impala, see a C1 corvette and then C4 or C5 ... design and quality dropped from 1960s to 2006 / 2010 ish to commercialization. Now they’re making a comeback, bro we have cars we thought could only be a concept, now are available on the market. Not only high end cars like DBS, Portofino, Panameras that are getting prettier, cheaper cars are also getting prettier. With the projection they are right now, I hope cars keep getting prettier and prettier to the future... bringing back the balance of design and quality of 1930s - 1960s

For the price... It has to be.

[@allensaunders449]

[@Achromatics]

Wow i haven’t seen a candy red aston in a long long time. It’s exactly what this model needed though!

[@Schmitzelhaus]

I feel like all the supercar-hype these days got to the head of Aston. For me personally, what made the original Vantage so great, was the fact that they put this huge V12 into the body of basically a DB7 with it´s straight-6. It was that formula of putting insane engines into small, unsuspecting Coupés that made Aston so special to me. I mean, look at the DBS, both Coupé and Volante are still to this day absolutely breathtaking looking cars! Especially the DBS Volante, imo there has not been a more perfect looking convertable period. But this is just so in your face looking, that it´s actually has to perfom to this look to meet the expectations it creates. But hey, with it´s limited production almost all of them will disappear in some billion dollar car collection anyway so 🤷‍♂

[@mrbillcollector]

L take... In your brain its not a sleeper so its a bad car ok buddy of course thats what you think, your an e46 fanboy

[@mrbillcollector]

This is a sports car and an insane one at that...and since when does aston Martin have to meet your expectations lmaooo you will probably never be buying a car of this caliber

[@Schmitzelhaus]

@@mrbillcollector WTF are you on about lol?!?! I literally answered with my personal opinion to the question they asked in the freakin title of this video. "Meet my expectations..." LMAO 😆 Apparently you think it´s normal to believe that absolutely everything has to resolve only around yourself like you do, so let me explain: No, i don´t think Aston should strictly only build cars that meet my taste, therefore i didn´t had any expectations for them to meet in the first place. Also nobody questioned the cars performance, it was only about the looks. JWW asked for our opinion and i answered, that´s about it. Relax a little, my man. 🤷‍♂

Either too much feedback or not enough not sure which. Very uninteresting interior should ditch the center screen if that can't be made premium. Be nice to know what all the buttons do as well. Verdict: Suabru WRZ still winning with the stick and feel.

Hmmm, maintenance is going to be a PAIN. The engine shoved that far back means that reaching the rear sparkplugs is going to require quite a bit of peripheral disassembly. A tune-up at the dealership will probably cost a couple of thousand dollars.

[@simongilliat2205]

For various reasons, which aren't important here, Aston gave me a Vantage for a weekend back in 1994. Stunning, brutal power, great fun. However, heading home Sunday night, after a fine cross-country jaunt, the seatbelt housing fell off, and the driver's reading light came on and refused to go off. Cue several miles of discomfort. This was a car valued at 178,500 pounds. I felt rather let down, actually. I know it was a different Aston era, but James' comments here brought back memories. Aston: don't try to do too much. You're good enough anyway.

[@stevenduncan3392]

i preferred 2021 front grill

[@gbvtt76]

i don't really like this car, because I feel like, contrary to its predecessor, it's trying to be something that it's not, a car for the track. The original v12 vantage was supposed to be kind of a sleeper, a v8 vantage body with a shouting v12 inside, it was heavy and a bit clunky but had much soul, and was unique in that way. This car put downforce and carbon fiber parts, and shouts look at me, but it still weith at nearly 1.8 tonnes, has as a slow gearbox, and will never be a great track tool. And that's even more true at 250k. For this price, you can buy a 992 gt3, a 720s, or an 812 if you want a v12 (NA and more powerful for this one), and all those cars are faster, less expensive without even shouting look at me. I'm not sure if this is the right path for this kind of car

[@AB-fr2ei]

its because thats a track speck you can have a more roadgoing spec

[@william_SMMA]

Why do you think people don't want their cars to command attention?

[@mrbillcollector]

What a Dorky comment bro this car is perfection talkin about its trying to be something its not lmaooo have you driven it? Have you taken it on the track? No you havent...in fact your probably making this comment from your moms house

[@zumezoom9593]

I don't get it. How is it that toyota can build a 1.3L and push out 300 horses when a V12 only spits out 700 horses?

[@aston-martin-internationalist]

1.3 is highly tuned, granted you can get more out with significant modifications, this V12 was detuned form the original as it has to take a smaller transmission. Increased in capacity isn't exponential - it depends on many things. The V12 5.2 Twin Turbo is very under stressed. Tuned, it would give ungodly amounts of power.

[@mitchellsteindler]

[@PascalCrypto]

Perfect Gumball car!! V12, fast, sound (Certainly when it's a straight pipe 😈) with enough room for luggage. I wasn't a big Vantage fan but I really like this one! I'm really curious what a good tuner/builder can do with a header, straight pipe and tune. It would be best of both worlds if the sound still be like a n/a V12 but maybe a higher pitch with some good headers while boosting the turbo's with a tune. Imagine it sounding more towards a SVJ with Gintani F1 exhaust with that beautiful high pitch and having the turbo's working a higher hp gain.

[@AleksandarGospic]

Looks so much better than the V8 Vantage, which I don't fancy at all, but this is something else 😍

[@dn5511]

So where does this Vantage V12 fit in with the DBS Superleggera?

[@ehyojono]

I love how monstrous this smaller AM looks, but with 690bhp, 555 torque and 1800kg. Why would I buy this when the new Corvette Z06 is 670bhp, 420 to torque and 1420kg? Yes I know the AM is more rare and there is some bespoke luxuries to it, but then again it has dated UI from Merc that puts a sore tooth in my mouth. And then the price of $346,000 USD I could buy three Z06's and still have $46k to waste at the strippers. I get it, this car is pure SEX, but I think I'd rather have a foursome with three 10's instead of just one.

[@johnnyboy1586]

No need to worry,they have all been sold out already

[@princesekyere9679]

I know it's rare and has a v12 but holly vow 280,000£ is a lot for an Aston. You could get yourself a super car with crazy performance

Damnit Aston you were already 95% there. The vantage already has a manual option so we know the pedal box is ready to go. Such a fail for a final sendoff to not have it with a manual v12 option.

Saddest part is when you realize that most the folks that can appreciate this machine wont ever own one, the ones able to own one will likely lose possession of the car sooner rather than later and the only survivors will be hidden away and may never see the road again.
