  • The new Aston Martin Vantage is a potent machine to say the least, but what happens when you turn up the wick, add some serious aero and a more focused chassis setup? Steve Sutcliffe finds out in this on-track review of the 2021 Vantage F1 Edition at Silverstone's Stowe circuit. A 4.0-litre V8 motor with 528bhp, rear-wheel drive and Sutcliffe at the wheel can only mean one thing...

    Steve Sutcliffe has to be my favourite motoring journalist along with Chris Harris. Great driving skill and they're able to explain driving dynamics without confusing people.

      I drove both the gtc and the aston. I ended up with the Aston. The amg better on track probably but I think the Aston is criminally underrated. When driving on the road the Aston had better road manners and felt more special and I loved the soundtrack better. And I loved the steering wheel much better than the AMG.

    As much as I love Aston Martin, that doesn’t look like it’s capable or even comparable to the new Porsche 992 GT3. Maybe it’s closest competition are something between the AMG Mercedes GT S and the GT R models. But hey, we all love to watch new videos from Auto Express with Steve! Make that a track battle, please!

      I hope and expect the new Corvette will give it a run for its' money while costing much less. Maybe one day the 911 won't be regarded as the best and Porsche will be forced to put their big engines in the Cayman, that would be a good thing.

    It absolutely pains me to say, as I totally adore Aston Martins........ but this is just not an attractive car. The droopy nose and awful looking 'ducks@rse' tail just don't look right at all (and that 'ducks@rse' boot looks even worse on the DBX!). Granted, I have yet to see one in the flesh, so may look completely different then, but every photo and video so far...... it just doesn't work. 😟

    • @user-hr2zy7ct8h
      @user-hr2zy7ct8h 3 роки тому

      In the flesh it's very attractive. The ducks@rse looks pretty nice imo, but when you put a spoiler on it like on this car it completely ruins every line for me. It ruins the front 3/4 angle at 0:30 , and it doesn't even remotely match the lines of the rear end. Without the spoiler it looks very clean and beautiful imo, maybe not very special, but imo the older Vantage doesn't look much better even though I adore that car. I would say a 2007 DB9 looks better from the front, but imo the ducks@rse looks better than the dated look of the '07 DB9 rear end. Just don't put a spoiler on it.
