I recently bought a DB9.
My last car was a Nissan GTR R35.That car was mental, the DB9 is alot slower but it is an Aston.Bucket list completed. 👍
This my at the top of my list.
The V12 Vantage is the perfect blend of 'power, beauty and soul'.
Who cares if there are faster cars out there than this glorious V12 Vantage. Just listen to the sound of that lovely V12. Not to mention that gorgeous styling. It's way better than that stupid Beetle GT2. And it's not like I hate Porsche, in fact I own a 944 S myself.
the V8 vantage has 420hp. it used to have 380hp but they upgraded it.
Also porsche is really good driving machine but the Aston is also a delight to drive and it is also really beautiful, it is a piece of art.
That drag race was close enough for it not to make any difference in real world on the road driving conditions! I love the Porsche but in this instance I might just take the Aston:-)
What video were you watching? The Aston got bloody slaughtered!
@@rsrider419 You're responding to a 9 year old comment of mine. That's what amazes me about YT but anyway, I think I would still take the Aston:-)
On the road, the difference is tiny, yes the Porsche won by about a second on a closed airfield. On the road there is very little between them and yes the Aston every time for me.
The host reminds me of a younger more ambitious Onslow from Keeping Up Appearances. AHHHH NICE
There is a man in England.
Who works for a truck company, repairing trucks.
Doesn't have a home, doesn't have an apartment. Or is super rich.
But he has an Aston Martin v12 Vantage.
He bought it with his own money.
And he is my hero.
I don't care that the Aston Martin is a little slower than the Porsche. The Aston looks better, sounds better, and it's a heck of a lot classier than the Porsche. I would never buy the Porsche over the Aston.
Wow! A V-12 lost to a flat-6 engine!That's some real engineering they got going on at Porche. =)
i saw this car today at the gas station,funny thing is it was a country gas station and i almost pee'd myself when i saw it because i was so surprised,so much better looking and sounding in person.i love the vantage.
What's funny is that the 09 Jag XKR went from 420hp to 510hp (in the '10) and it wasn't really made out to be that big of a deal. Yet they dropped the V12 in the Vantage also bumping the power to 510 from 420 in the V8 and everyone is treating it like such an epic achievement and now a true supercar.
True, but Jaguar just doesn't stir the emotions like Aston Martin, the name alone carries so much kudos that Jaguar can't hope to emulate. A reply 14 years after your post and the same is still true.
@@user-qq2mo1ek2r Geeze talk about a comment resurrection. Yeah Jaguar is still a disappointment. But also Aston has now passed peak design. The DB11/12 is a bloated monstrosity compared to the sexy chiseled DB9/S of this era.
@@vantage789 not at all true, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. If you feel Aston has passed peak design then I'm afraid Jaguar has gone back to the horse and cart in design.
The current and new Vantage are great designs, the DB12 stunning, I will allow you the DBX is not their finest but the Valkeyrie is epic in its engineering prowess once you see in detail how it was designed and built, it is incredible.
Jaguar has lost its identity, all SUV and poor quality build and reliability.
V12 Vantage: A gorgeous singer
GT2: A pretty good looking athlete
hard to choose really, but i cant ignore that awesome V12 roar
My dad bought the new Aston Martin Yesterday and we drove down to London in it ...... its so fast and amazing
14 years later, it's still fast.
I don't care that the Aston didn't win that race all I know is that I would always choose an Aston over a porsche
I have never been a sports car person, really, but I have always wanted an Aston Martin. There is just something about them.
Simply my 2 favorite brands there! Great cars!
you have to be either a real nerd or a true race car driver to love and enjoy the GT2 without dying. Aston Martin ftw!
you are absolutely right, the Aston is a very cool GT-car , while the Porsche is more of a "racing" sportscar. The Porsche for the track and the Aston for getting to the track ;)
Just add some quicksilver, tubi, etc..headers and exhaust and that aston would be a symphony to our ears!!! Love how it looks!!
I really love Porsche and - as a german guy - i appreciate the legendary aspects of motorsports etc...BUT i have to admit that the Aston Martin's looks are great and the sound is great as well...
Porsche is the racing car for the road and Aston Martin is the roadcar build to race ;)
This car is soo damn beautiful. Compact, elegant, sportive - and I love the interior. Among (more or less) exclusive brands, Porsche is a mass manufacturar ( ~ 90. - 100.000 units) even though I do admire Porsche engineering. It's just the fact that an Aston is so exclusive. Ulrich Bez has influenced this brand sustainably, especially the quality and the finish. He's never tried to change Aston's culture, rather is he contributing his impressive Know How as a former Porsche engineer.
Super video, thanks for posting! Actually walking around my neighbourhood here in Takaido, Tokyo I noticed one of my neighbours has this car :)
It is true that, yes Astons are not the fastest cars in the world, but GOD they are adorable, lovable cars. I am a huge Gallardo LP560 fan, but I admit no other supercar has these wonderful lines.
Go Aston V12 Vantage!!!
power is wonderful but there comes a point in every gear heads life where beauty trumps power. Aston Martin is that beauty.
No way this gonna be faster than the GT2
but I love Astons the way they are. very luxurious, sexy designs, good power
> Respect !!
The main reason that Aston lost is its heavier weight. Also, porchea has bigger pistons which makes every displacement of the gear way more powerful that of Aston's. I have been a mechanic for more that 25 years and I am familiar with these cars. Both are awesome cars.
The Aston Martin for cruising around everyday. The Porsche for when I decide to go round a race track.
Check out this: evo 9 vs Aston Martin v12 vantage , the vantage keeps up pretty well considering the evo was a race car with 600hp slick tyres and all and the vantage is fully stock !
I agree, the entire Aston Martin line are great looking cars.. the best design out right now ( that others are copying ) without getting ridiculous, with something like a Zonda.. my other favorite.
Aston are actually very successful at racing GT cars and their road cars dynamic's are meant to be VERY good.
V12 in Vantage is NA which means it's more controllable than the TT H6. Turbo umpf can kill when you press the pedal hard in a corner.
Aston Martin makes one of the worlds best GT cars. Sure, they aren't as fast as some of the others. But if I were to buy this car, it would be more of a daily driver. It just looks so stunning... classy, yet mean. I love it :)
I love aston's car's they r soo beatyfull and they have class and elegance. I dream to have one of new astons in the future mayby when I will have 40years... I hope
The GT2 does have an unfair advantage though, it's got semi slick track day tyres as standard, I reckon if both had them then the aston would have kept up with the gt2, but I'm not sure if it would beat it though, but ether way, I would have the aston over the gt2 ANYDAY
Sure he lost the drag race, but he'll win with the ladies simply by the ASTONishing looks.
@e36mmm It's actually 6.2L v8 producing 500hp@9200rpm plus 2 electrical motors for additional 218hp
is it weird that my mouth started watering when the aston came on the screen?
Plus, where are you going to fit a 6 liter V12 in the Porsche?
took V12 for a spin today (thinking of trading in the V8). within 10 meters I realised its a beast... can I tame the beast is the next question!!
I Like this guy much more then the other tool they had. I like the format ...
@jakewars it is a little jingle on imovie that comes with macs
Both are incredible car manufacturers.
I'd rather have the aston than the porsche. The GT2 will run rings around the aston, but... if you really like how the Aston looks, you will probably think it is one of the most loveliest cars ever in production (the DBS especially). I'd buy an Aston Martin because it does deliver plenty of power, it's delivers beauty the size of the sky. And soul? Honestly, I won't know. I just hope I'll never be convinced to sell my soul for one before I can find out first hand.
Such a shame seeing one of the prettiest cars in the world lose
never seen such a great showcar...no other car has this effect in combination with such a performance. well a porsche will never be as rare as this..
Excellent review! Great detail!
@trento728 The porsche uses a horizontally opposed flat 6, not a V6
That was a real good one, mate! :D cheers from germany ^^
The McLaren F1 is in the NA Supercar category as well. Don't think the Aston would have too much hope against that, either. How does the 0-60 compare between this Aston and a Gallardo, I'm wondering?
Top gear has been around for a very long time. its here on youtube, still going strong. they do weird challenges too.
This is a masterpiece.
i don't care that the aston lost the drag race
a porsche or a ferrari may be faster or whatever else
but this aston is a car i fell in love with and so it's my winner
I'm talking about the Koenigsegg,I know top gears were made a long time ago since the early 20th Century,right.I was actually saying that Koenigsegg aren't that old they were starting in 1994.I mean that was 15 years ago and they are still in business.
all Astons are brilliant
wish i had one from every one they make
in every way of taste and elegance the Aston wins :-)
when steve swore, that was the best part.
I think the rivals of the v12 are the R8 GT 5.2 and 599 GTB, Bentley SS GT or GT3 RS. The GT2 is another kind of car. I have a feeling that Aston were not looking for GTR's or GT2's when making this car. You even said, "three quarters GT3 and one quarter Vantage" You should have raced it against the benchmark they were aiming for.
It's slow for it's price, but it's still a good all around car, considering it's beautiful looks, amazing interior, and wonderful exhaust note.
The Mclaren mp4 12c when you want to cruise around and also when you want to take it to the track...it has these two combined into one!
Does anyone know what's going on with the speedometer and tach at 2:34?
I know I am only saying what pretty much everyone else here is saying, but the Aston is so beautiful inside/outside/ to the ears/everywhere, it wouldn't matter if the Porsche was twice as fast as the Aston. The Aston would still be the best by a very long way.BTW 190+mph is more than I will ever really need.
okay, i want an Aston Martin V12 Vantage now!
The ZR1 ran on street legal slick tyres plus was the time an official verified time?
@Cybergig00
Yeah, his name is Guy Martin and he bought it with his prize money from racing in the Isle of Man TT. He's my hero too.
i know the aston is better looking than most supercar but you guys who are commenting got to remember that aston isnt only a luxury car but its still pretty damn fast
I get to test drive the v12 on oct 5! I'm ordering one!
Youll be glad to know that the Aston V12 unit is assembled near Ford's European H.Q in Cologne, Germany.
Love is the triumph of imagination over intelligence
always follow your heart
the Aston Martin V12 Vantage is soo beautiful but i prefer the Porsche 911 GT2 in desing and engine....nice video :)
Why is the wheel on the left side of the car?
And how many turbos does it have? How many intercoolers? I know that you can get a 3.2 liter into 700hp territory. But it's also a V8 so that could also be why.
@sultanabran1 Thanks for the comment, and you're right, I guess I wish it could have both speed and cool gadgets
That Aston is one beautiful car.
@cyclingguy3 I agree with you, I got to drive the Carbon Black V12, made a vid. Amazing car experience and this is coming from a driving event where I get to drive all the 2011 porsches on tracks all day. I wouldn't even look at the porsche if the Aston is available to me. That V12 can make you feel amazing downshifting and hearing it pop and gurgle and laugh out loud when you get on it. Im going to buy one God willing in a two months from today...
@crazyboyxx i agree but then why put a V12 in it?
@nickeroo so 13bhp more for the Porsche is a big difference in power output for you???!!!
GT2 might be faster but the Aston Martin just looks so much more awesome...
On a side note I'd also like to state that I wish i had that job.
@atami210 what about like mountain climbing and the sort? Porsche was built for mountain racing was it not?
@BonhommeHero I totally agree, plus look at the dynamics of both car. Both Rear Wheel drive cars only the GT2 has the engine at the back pushing down on the rear wheels, getting everything out of the engine. The Aston now has a big V12 in the front, which doesn't help in getting more downforce to the Rear wheels. But the elegance and grace of the Aston more than make up for the fact that the Aston can't beat a GT2 in a straight line. I would have the Aston over the GT2 every day of the week.
ferrari used to make 3.5L V12s as did bugatti.
6L is a very standard size for a V12.
a 6L V8 is a large engine
i would still take the v12 vantage cause its better looking, sounds nice, and its unique and its still a fast car i mean it doesnt have to be the fastest car but its very powererful
Did he say its a 1/4 of a regular V8 vantage at 2:03? How does that make any sense?
Dollar for Dollar its a fair comparison, however, The Aston Martin has the "WoW" factor. The Porsche (despite that its a GT2) is a very common car on the streets today. You think you need that much speed but more than likely you'll never get your money's worth unless you're on the track. With that being said, I'll take the V12 as my next ride.
Its not a fair fight. The v8 vantage is like a carrera S and the V12 is like the GT3. Prices for the aston may be aligned with higher model porsches but that reflects the exclusivity of the astons, not their performance. Also, a drag race isn't really a measure of a better car
nice,
British loves V12 , Respect !!
come on guys...360p?
The V12 Vantage is an absolutley great car...but still have to admit the GT2 is a legend...
Few if any can better Porsche's engineering, whether in road or race cars. Aston Martin has it's appeal but in terms of performance it's not even close.
Peformance: Porsche
Luxury: Aston
I want the Aston
Sounds like something that would appear on the Aston's dashboard when you start it.
@Cybergig00 he races bikes though doesn't he. He knows that his life could end at anytime and yes he is a legend.
If you placed the two of them side by side which one would get all the attention something that is basically over 30 years old or one of the best looking cars ever made??
@sw1000xg You might reconsider if you've got a chance to own any of them.
Performance doesn't only mean "Raw Power". It's a pleasure driving experience.
Don't judge anything with numbers, try to feel it.
their style is very unique, but they give reliable information. They are biased, but they do it in a comical way
At 4:18 does he have the A/C on?
i like that car wanna tell u my favourite cars:
zonda f
lamborghini (any type)
porche (any type)
skyline
z4(bmw)
aston martin (any typeexept db9)
and more thanx for putting a smile on my face =)!
PEACE TO THE WORLD
gt2 = speed vantage = luxury
the aston and the porsche are both really good
I sold my DB9 after 4 months for a 997 turbo. Every month there was a problem with the car. Bare in mind that Ford Mondeo parts are scattered all over the car as they come from the same factory.
