The VH platform V8 Vantage will always be my favorite Aston. One of the most beautiful cars ever. 15 years later, it still looks like a new model. Timeless.
Why a One-77? It's a great looking car, but it's neither a great GT as it's way too raw, nor is it an outstanding hyper car which it should've been for that price tag...
I’m so happy to see the V 12 DB7 on this list. My dad had one when I was a kid and to this day it’s my favorite car he’s ever had. So many amazing memories.
I’m obsessed with the gen 1 Vanquish, so naturally I feel it should be on the list. The Vantage of the same era is on the list and that’s what I would swap it with.
Mine too it was the most dramatic and in it's day the most powerful road car in the world. The documentary was disappointing missing major facts and some of the most important models like the V600 Le Mans and the Vantage 550.
I always thought the DBS was the best looking model until I saw one parked next to a 2015 Vanquish at a cars and coffee. Both were beautiful but the vanquish topped the DBS.
My favorite AM DB9 is one of the best GTs of the 00s, with one of the best designs in car history. The DBR9, which won the 24 Hours of Le Mans, was also built on the basis of the DB9.
It’s always subject to comments when someone makes a list of “the best of something” so I won’t go into that, but say that I enjoyed the video and didn’t know about the first car being lost forever. Maybe that would be the barn find to end all barn finds. V8 Vantage S is my personal and attainable favourite.
V12 Vantage should have got it's own space. It sounds like a pub board meeting,,,let's take the biggest engine and squeeze it in our smallest car just for fun a few early manuals about too
Rather obviously, V12 Vantage is better looking than the V8, but the V600 may be the best of that bunch. One-77 is arguably the best Aston Martin of all design wise and is certainly the most stunning road car.
Surprised to hear the Vanquish II referred to as not as stunning as the old DBS... to me, it knocks spots off it. The 568 model that is, before all the added on splitters.
Of course the DB5 is king of the hill. Had the chance to hear this engine at a traffic light (lowering the window and the driver knew what to do... what a sound!). But if I had the choice for my own, I would take a V8 Vantage.
i would've thought the V12 Vantage would've taken the spot of the V8 Vantage, putting such a powerful V12 in such a small car is absolutely mental also, where's the Valkyrie? Adrian Newey made another masterpiece
The list is flawed, the best Aston Martin ever made is the v550/v600 twin supercharged vantage from the 90s. Hand built, Aston Martin engine ,not a ford ,or a jaguar engine. Beautiful car. £500000 for a nice one.
Not only did you leave out the One 77, but also the DB9 GT (2016 only). It's better and more powerful than the DBS that modelled the older version of the DB9
What happen to the Alfa GT (I have a 2007 black line twin spark) in your deliberations - once hailed as the most beautiful car in the world. Come on get a grip!!!! Best wishes Robert Squire
Obviously, you missed the DB9. It was the car that made Aston what they are today. You added the DB7 which was named, and rightly so, the Jag in Drag. The DBS wouldn't have existed without the DB9 and with a more uncomfortable ride and spoiled lines for the sake of a few extra horse power, not worthy of a feature of the best ever. Also, you missed the vanquish... There's a school boy error!
I think it should. The last and most developed Aston all made in-house at their Newport Pagnell factory. After that, it all changed at their new factory. Engines made elsewhere and a Mercedes gearbox. I know its more efficient but the concept of "bespoke" disappeared.
So, two DBS and two V8 Vantage...but not the most powerful Aston Martin (at least until the Valkyrie os actually released) ever, the One-77 not the most beautiful Aston Martin ever (the DB4 GT Zagato)?? Shame on you...
Will the Valkyrie hit this list?
Anybody heard of the One-77?🤔
The 2007 DBS is one of the best looking cars of all time for me and the whole package is the perfect GT.
Mates found it a disappointment having owned predecessors so bought Bentley got instead -bought all new.
Love it to bits
Yes and the 2000s Vanquish is a stunner
If only the reliability was better. But it is one of the most beautiful cars ever built
Agreed
V8 Vantage was my dream car as a kid. Still is.
For me the DB9.2 takes it all....perfect balance of all the beautiful Astons in one package(2014-2016)
Completely agree
v8 Vantage, the most beautiful Aston ever! It’s timeless looks,and chunky body, always reminds me of a silver bullet love it
The VH platform V8 Vantage will always be my favorite Aston. One of the most beautiful cars ever. 15 years later, it still looks like a new model. Timeless.
Was hoping to see a Vanquish or a One-77. Expected the DB5 and DB7
Me Too!

I am picking up my 2009 V8 Vantage in a day and a half. Cannot wait - a fulfillment of a dream.
I am so pleased to see the DB7 V12 on the list, such a beautiful car in its day, still is now.
Have always loved the v8 vantage, one of the most balanced and attractive designs ever
I have always loved the first generation Aston Martin V12 Vanquish S and would place it above the DB7 on this list.
Weak list doesn't even have my favorite Aston Martins the DB4 Zagato, Gen 1 Vanquish, One-77, DB9 GT, V12 Vantage, Rapide AMR. 🤷♂️
Vantage 550 is still a favourite of mine.
Mine too it was the most dramatic and in it's day the most powerful road car in the world. The documentary was disappointing missing major facts and some of the most important models like the V600 Le Mans and the Vantage 550.
@@contingency9 agreed. 👍
My favorites got to be the mighty vantage from the 1990s
V8 Vantage will always intrigue me....
I always thought the DBS was the best looking model until I saw one parked next to a 2015 Vanquish at a cars and coffee. Both were beautiful but the vanquish topped the DBS.
I still remember John Bolster's road test of a DB4GT in Autosport magazine and he started the piece with 'Please may I use some superlatives'.
My favorite AM DB9 is one of the best GTs of the 00s, with one of the best designs in car history.
The DBR9, which won the 24 Hours of Le Mans, was also built on the basis of the DB9.

With no doubt and no appears, the Vantage V600 Le Mans, and second the Vanquish
100 percent agree about the DBS
From France with passion and respect ✌🏼⚜️🇨🇵😎
The One-77 would be in the top 10 Astons for me for sure
Same and vanquish
Please feature the DB9, please feature the DB9, please feature the DB9... Oh. DBS is fine too
I’m so thrilled to see the DB7 V12 on this list. I have the privilege to say that I own one! :)
I'm suprised the One-77 wasnt on this list honestly.
Thanks, the DB2 is my favorite.
I 💘 the beautiful Aston Martin.
"Aston Martin has gone bust 7 times since it was founded". Probably that what's makes it such a characterful carmaker.
Aston Martin V8 Vantage … well I would say that … I bought one!
But like some others I was surprised that the DB4 Zagato didn’t feature
3:35: didn't realize Aston Martin used a counterclockwise tachometer since as early as the DB2.
The DB7 is perhaps the most beautiful car of all time.
For me it’s the 2007 DBS
Nice selection! I missed the DB4 Zagato! 😎
For me is the DBS V12
V12 Vantage should have got it's own space. It sounds like a pub board meeting,,,let's take the biggest engine and squeeze it in our smallest car just for fun a few early manuals about too
This is bet answer.
Rather obviously, V12 Vantage is better looking than the V8, but the V600 may be the best of that bunch. One-77 is arguably the best Aston Martin of all design wise and is certainly the most stunning road car.
V8 Vantage 😍
Just into it and I can say , excellent.
Surprised to hear the Vanquish II referred to as not as stunning as the old DBS... to me, it knocks spots off it. The 568 model that is, before all the added on splitters.
Of course the DB5 is king of the hill. Had the chance to hear this engine at a traffic light (lowering the window and the driver knew what to do... what a sound!). But if I had the choice for my own, I would take a V8 Vantage.
Beautiful cars. But the answer to the best Aston Martin is the one that isn't broken.
The Vanquish, superseding the DBS is a fundamentally better car (faster, more comfortable and powerful) than the DBS and has a subtle elegance
The Victor, Valkyrie and the One-77
The Dbs superleggera looks amazing
DB9, DB4 Zagato and original DBS would have made my list.
I like the DB2/4 III
Hi and thanks 😊much enjoyed 😀
i would've thought the V12 Vantage would've taken the spot of the V8 Vantage, putting such a powerful V12 in such a small car is absolutely mental
also, where's the Valkyrie? Adrian Newey made another masterpiece
What a pity, the DB9 is missing as the really very best of.
Superb, as usual.
excellent
Only one in the world as well with the colour and spec
Amazing cars
I'd like to have a 2001 DB7 coupe with 6 speed and V-8 Vantage-2011-12!😁👍🛠️
Cannot wait for the 2023 DBS
2008 aston martn DBS = ❤️❤️
Enjoyed...................... 👍👍👍
What about a V12 Vantage!? They're ridiculous!
The first one in the list. I saw it as a 7 year old in 1920. I still hanker after it.
The Vanquish S is my favorite Aston Martin.
The DB4 Zagato is the best of them all
What about the 90s vantage ? 550bhp in gt luxury
I cannot believe the One 77 wasn’t on this list.
I wouldn't say no to any Aston Martin except the Cygnet !
The list is flawed, the best Aston Martin ever made is the v550/v600 twin supercharged vantage from the 90s. Hand built, Aston Martin engine ,not a ford ,or a jaguar engine. Beautiful car. £500000 for a nice one.
Um...V12 Vantage w/6 speed manual??
I'm missing the One 77 here, with its absolute screaming 8.1L cosworth v12
5:07 I always thought the Ford Maverick was a cool looking car. Now I know why.
I, to be candid, do not know the Marque. Well, other than they are so damn handsome.
I love the muscle car from the 70s. I guess I'm just a simple brute.
Nice story
The Virage of 2012 is better than the DB9 & less expensive than the DBS and is pure joy to drive
Instead of the V8 vantage, I would've put the Vanquish in its place.
Rapide. We have a lovely one.
One-77 is the best of all ☝️
V8 Vantage Please.... British Racing Green, Cream interior with black piping.... Can pay on instalments if that is OK..... :-)))))
I'd choose the DB9 GT over the DBS: even more power, and a clean (uncluttered) body like the DB9, the most beautiful GT ever.
Yeah but the dbs is the one james bond drove, so it's more cooler
You missed the DB4 Zagato..I mean if that ain't in the top 10 I dunno what is..
What about Vanquish Zagato?
Where is Valkyrie?
Where is DBS GT Zagato?
And... Where is One-77???
No mention of the virage?
What about the DB11 V12?
What about Aston Non-Road cars? You seem to have ignored those...??? and which are the Aston Martin non-road cars???
Aston Martin DB4GT Zagato
Not only did you leave out the One 77, but also the DB9 GT (2016 only). It's better and more powerful than the DBS that modelled the older version of the DB9

Db9 and dbs are basically the same
Agree the DB9 has the cleanest lines of all the VH platform cars no contest there! The original where less is MORe
@06:45 Thay asked Cosworth, not Ford!
You guys forgot the Cygnet
DB4 Zegato
You didn’t think the original Vanquish should be on the list?
I think it should. The last and most developed Aston all made in-house at their Newport Pagnell factory. After that, it all changed at their new factory. Engines made elsewhere and a Mercedes gearbox. I know its more efficient but the concept of "bespoke" disappeared.
DB11
DB10
You missed Timothy Daltons Aston.
The vantage was in the list.
No he didn't. It was on the list although Dalton had an Oscar India body shape
Aston martin never
Freedom of the day
Margo Robbie, Tiraspol
Here's my comment: 'You made a video.'
maybe they are not big enough!!!!!!
So, two DBS and two V8 Vantage...but not the most powerful Aston Martin (at least until the Valkyrie os actually released) ever, the One-77 not the most beautiful Aston Martin ever (the DB4 GT Zagato)?? Shame on you...
