Roaring V12 Luxury GT - 2014 Aston Martin Vanquish POV Drive (Binaural Audio)

[@TedwardDrives]

What do you think of the Vanquish? Special thanks to Boston Motorsports for offering this car for video. Find their inventory here www.bostonmotorsportsmaserati.com/

[@goyangi2014]

how tall are you?

[@pascutia]

There’s something about these Aston Martins before they switched to their new design language. I think they’re so much prettier than the new cars. Plus the sound from the naturally aspirated engines is so much better!!

[@oscarkenyon8011]

I think all the new ones look awful from the back and the grilles look a bit weird

[@gianniferrari1122]

The new ones are shit. The older versions are fucking legendary.

[@dcs0113]

The new ones are nice , but not nearly as classy.....I'll keep my db9.2

[@bathembufutshane1462]

Spot on. The older Aston are gorgeous.

[@enigmatwist6548]

The new DBS is rather fetching and the DB11 has grown on me but the Vanquish is still my favourite.

[@jfdb59]

It's refreshing to remember that there are classy sport touring cars being featured and not just ridiculously impractical spazzed out screamers doing highway pulls. Nowadays horsepower is easy, creating an iconic gentleman's conveyance that makes you want to put on a suit just to drive it is entirely another level.

[@sirtobigoodboy]

I love this generation of Aston Martins, they're just so pretty. Especially the Vanquish, I think it's the best car I never want to own.

[@TedwardDrives]

The convertibles are my favorite...plus more exposure to the V12!

[@cavansirhasanzada1755]

Never?

[@HanshiroParker]

@@cavansirhasanzada1755 It's an opinion, bro. It's *his* opinion. ❤️

[@markcarter9476]

"It somehow manages to be a supercar without making you look like an arsehole" , love it and it's so true. When you drive an Aston other drivers treat you with respect, they let you out at junctions and people engage you in conversations when its parked up. The entire ownership experience is truly something special.

[@frozenpete788]

Their v12, while they are not screamers, they have this typical English melody, classy, a bit posh just like it should. Nice!!

[@TedwardDrives]

Wild right? More of a smooth grunt.yourr right. They don’t scream they roar!

[@Raze145]

The name’s Martin, Aston Martin.

[@Donald_Trump123]

The names coight. Russel coight

[@SIRXNZ]

The names Rolls, Rolls Royce

[@villagernumber9233]

Definitely my favorite Aston Martin out of all their models. I love the sound of that V12 and the front end looks so sleek.

[@TedwardDrives]

Such a handsome car. Makes sense that zagato used this platform

[@andy-james-]

As Jeremy Clarkson once said..."This is a British brute in a suit". Given the choice between a newer AMG 4.0 V8 Aston or the last of the 5.9 V12 Vanquishes, it's the V12 every day of the week for me.

[@Hopgop1]

I've got a friend with a 2013 version of this car, had it since new in the UK, love your knowledge and especially how you knew that British B roads are why it isn't so stiff and miserable.

[@LifesJoys]

I’m so looking forward to getting one in the very near future

[@gowen_places_5471]

Love the sound! Vanquish is one of my favorite Aston Martins!

[@Calaghi]

Love it. My dream car has been the DBS from around 2010/2011 for years. V12 with a manual, what more could a gentleman want? These cars are the perfect blend of beauty, sound, and more than sufficient performance.

[@exiges]

If I were driving up close to a Vanquish, I'm not looking to race, I just want to hear that glorious V12!

[@diegoalvarez6861]

I didn't quite realize until today the amazing inventory that boston motorsports has to offer. Definetly a must go place when visiting boston

[@JG-ce6op]

My God those Astons were a work of art. Every time I see one one, I just can't stop staring. They are so gorgeous yet so sleek, they sound like a million bears trapped inside a cage. I also love how smooth the gearshifts are.

[@Meindl-zm8jq]

Timeless, this car's character will never diminish with age. The sound, well if you don't appreciate it, you're probably dead.

[@WunHungLo99]

My much loved Vanquish 2003 was incredible. I would drive it back and forth through the tunnel in Puerto Banus, what fun. The auto 'manual' box, much criticised was actually really fun too. Foot off gas like a manual but change gear with padle then accelerate. It meant you could get that double de clutch type popping you don't get from auto boxes.

[@jaypatel7424]

My absolute favorite Aston Martin of all time alongside the V8 Vantage ❤.

[@TedwardDrives]

V12 vantage with a stick is my pick!

[@thatcleanjce1049]

You can audibly hear him thinking about just never returning this car 😂

[@somebloke2238]

Best looking car of the last 10 years

[@rennspd1]

This is one of the best reviews I’ve seen for the Vanquish! Thank a for making this video.

[@TedwardDrives]

Thanks!

[@deacondavis5098]

Aston Martin is a functional exotic

[@CARBONHAWK1]

In my opinion, the best looking coupe, it’s just so well proportioned.

[@dmbassett]

I have always loved Astons. You summed it up mate - they work in the real world. Everyone falls for 0-60 times or 1/4 mile times but those are just numbers. live with, and drive a car, Aston makes a whole lot of sense when you really dig deep. long may they continue to build superb sports cars that can actually be used/driven/enjoyed on the road.

[@daverobert6761]

I love the idea of a V12 as a daily driver

[@tyvekhomewrap9164]

This thing will still look like a brand new car thirty years from now.

[@dann756]

There are some really beautiful roads in the south west of England. You can enjoy them in a turbo diesel Vauxhall insignia as much as a beautiful Aston Martin V12. I live in Glendale, AZ now, but if you take the time to look at the roads there, especially in Wiltshire, you'll see people driving small Lotus cars, RR, Bentley, MGs etc. I really do have a soft spot for British cars. Oh gosh, you'd be fascinated if you ever visited.

[@Hoffie92]

If you ever get the chance to film a Aston Martin GT8 please do it, Those things sound mental. Love your vids, Been binge watching them today

[@TedwardDrives]

Thanks! I’ve been around a few but none that were available for video. Hopefully soon

[@silentscope7440]

Taking the umbrella out before trading it or selling it shows the kind of class people actually have.

The sound that car makes is amazing

[@gvdb1302]

Hey that's my SL!

[@TedwardDrives]

No way! I was hoping you’d see this video

[@gvdb1302]

@@TedwardDrives Had a suspicion it was you when I saw the GoPro haha

[@gg-ip3zo]

From what I see here, this seems more like a sports car that does great on sustained high speeds, There's many cars that fits into a persons character and this could be fit for someone.

[@jasonforbus8605]

Jesus going through that tunnel sounded phenomenal

[@BoulevardBoss]

The car is just elegant. No other words for it.

[@HugoElders]

Back in 2016 an owner I never met before gave me a ride in his back then 3 month old Vanquish. This video gives me those same goosebumps again. The exhaust note is truly spectacular and for that reason alone a car like this should never be compared to any Mercedes, BMW or Audi rival. It's pure ecstacy this thing, absolutely love it.

[@TedwardDrives]

Don't get into cars with strangers...unless its a v12 Aston Martin. Then it might be worth the risk

[@emmareporter4324]

that v12 despite being 2 duratec engines put together sounds awesome

[@mr.miguelesparza5770]

That start up was meaty!

[@derrickjoness]

Bang for your buck this car is up there! This beauty looks like it came out a year ago ( minus the interior lol) but to the average person they will think you spent 300k plus for this bad boy. Side note keep grinding your channel is BOOMING!!

[@alexkuch9232]

These depreciated nicely

[@williamlong2682]

One of the world’s best V12s😍😛 I remember one of Chris Amos’s very first POV drives on Winding Road was a Vanquish. That drive got me hooked on binaural audio quality!

5:16: It's British. It's "anticlockwise". (I'm just kiddin' ya. But I actually like their word for it better, so I started saying "anticlockwise" myself a few years back.) 5:43: Hah, you're so excited about the ventilated seats! Actually, my 2014 Grand Cherokee even has those, so that one wouldn't surprise me. 9:36: Dang, that just _hops_ when you hit it to pass! That engine sound is *_soooooooo_* beautiful!

[@TedwardDrives]

I was sweating my life away trying to keep the ac off for audio so when I found the ventilated seats it was like finding water in the desert 😂

[@DonFather]

wow, I immediately had to go check out the price on their site. Pretty reasonable.

They did not

[@zumponer4257]

My old 2009 Lexus had air conditioned seats ahead of its time for sure

The reversed tachometer is definitely a trend nowadays. Even current Peugeots have it. I kinda miss them on the new Astons.

[@astonmartin4360]

0:28.It isn't based on the V8.It is based on the VH chassis of the DB9.

There's a lot of carbon fiber on the Vanquish because every body panel is actually carbon fiber. They just paint over most of it, and you're seeing the exposed parts.

[@MIKESTONE111]

Tedward, I recently sold my BMW M3 E90 and I’m looking to purchase the previous generation DBS. I know your review was about the vanquish which is my third pick. My second pic would be the 2019 vantage. Anyway, I wanted to get your thoughts regarding this transmission versus the DCT from the E90/E93 M3. Difference in handling? Driving experience between the two? Thanks

[@Joe32942]

Great Video. I will get one of these next year, my current lease runs out then. Question: Dont you fill up the used gas after a test drive? In Europe this is a common thing. I am just wondering.

[@Fazers-On-Stun]

🙄

[@mikey201292]

I have a 2018 Vanquish S Volante. They did an amazing job on the refresh! I made a couple videos about my Aston that are on my channel. Most notably is the few issues I've had with it lol. Fantastic car though! If you're ever in Eastern PA hit me up and you can check it out.

[@JazzyFeeq]

Would be nicer if it was navy blue. Nonetheless, great video Ted.

[@TedwardDrives]

Haha I guess that would have been a classy color

[@GoldToazt]

This or the Maserati Granturismo from last week? Seems to be quite similar cars trying to fill the same "need" of a GT supercar

[@TedwardDrives]

I think I always have to go V12 if the option is available. I wonder if the transmission can be tuned to shift faster on the Aston

[@dcs0113]

If it helps....I've had both.....I loved my gran turismo, ....BUT.....the Aston is light years ahead.....the mazzi looked flashy, sounded awesome, but at the end of the day, was more show than go.....my 2014 db9.2 delivers all that and the power and class....above and beyond...

[@wezeyp6362]

This generation of Aston Martin was the most beautiful and elegant, the new Aston has lost some of that prestige

[@TedwardDrives]

The style was largely derived from the One-77 and it makes it look like a poster car because of it. Just incredible

[@phil955i]

I think by that time the styling, especially the headlights, had become over-embellished, I prefer the purer simpler lines of their cars of the 2000s. Same goes for the dashboard, it looks like something out of a Honda & were they still using that same flip up sat nav screen that was shared with Volvos even as late as that? Prefer the earlier dashboards from the 2000s. That V12 sounds epic though. Phil from the UK.
