Aston Martin Vantage full in-depth review and specs, on track and road | Autocar

- With 656bhp rather than the 503bhp of its predecessor, the latest Aston Martin Vantage has moved on to a new performance plane.
It was a serious sports car before but the comprehensive overhaul has, as with the DB12 we were so impressed by recently, significantly shifted its capabilities. Its price too: this is a £165,000 before options.
Along with 656bhp at 6000rpm it makes 590lb ft at 2000-5000rpm. It drives the rear wheels through an eight-speed automatic gearbox and weighs (dry) 1605kg.
Performance is strong, with a 0-62mph time of 3.4sec and a top speed of 202mph. It'll return 23.3mpg and emits 274g/km of CO2.
Join Matt Prior as he gives it a full review on road and track and has a look under the skin.

You really have to admire the dedication of Autocar to have the lowest audio quality on UA-cam, their consistency is truly inspiring.
Watch Henry
@@JJ-vy2rhI did catch ‘pole and the microphone he used was much better
I thought you were being nitpicky and then I watched the first two minutes. This is unbearable
Only as your reviews are great, I didn’t switch off….. what on earth is going on with the audio? The mic is almost on you neck, hold a microphone if you have to….. great car though 👍
Haha!
The audio. It's not good, again.
Guys, when the audio is this bad, you don’t publish the video. Just throw it away.
No, restore it with Izotope RX

Prior is one of my favourite reviewers, and I know this content is free, but it is a little hard to comprehend how the channel keeps uploading content with such terrible audio quality. Who thinks this is OK?!
Very sad, Autocar has such good journalists working to high standards but I can barely understand what is being said. Such a waste of talent. Might I suggest that you set higher standards for production. As my old teacher would have said "this is not good enough".
Matt Prior needs to move company. Great reviewer yet Autocar consistently let itself down with the audio.
After 2 minutes looking for another review, I agree with other comments sound quality abysmal.
Like others are commenting the audio being so muffled through the entire video makes this near unwatchable. Was looking forward to this as Matt does a great tech review on new models.
Autocar. I hope you take note of the comments and do something about it.
Did you record the audio on a Maris Piper or a King Edward?
Somehow the audio on this review is even worse than the last one? Matt, spectacular. Visuals, firing on all cylinders. Audio? Out to lunch.
Good content as usual but terrible audio. I could only watch bits and pieces unfortunately.
audio issues during commentary? Not sure if I'm the only one experiencing that. Great video otherwise. Excited to see these on the road. Cheers
No, it sounds muffled and distorted to me too in places :( Strange companding sort of sound during most of the video
Some say that his breath smells of magnesium, and that he’s scared of bells and is deaf. All we know is he’s called the audio producer.
😅😅😅😅....channeling Clarkson eh??
I Love the video but the audio is extremely muffled. Please fix.
This was a cool Zoom call
Shame the total sound of the vid is awful, sounds awful especially thru my tele 📺🙃
It was great review, as always - but the last couple of videos had audio issues.
I really enjoy your informative review... except the audio makes me feel like I am sharing a cold with you.... rather irritating but otherwise thanks.
I especially like how Matt described the Vantage’s brmphdrumphtrmphdudumphum.
It's a good day when there's a new Matt Prior video, but please get some new microphones etc
Turned Rob Brydons “ small man in box “ voice into Matt Prior “ small man in glove box “voice
The Best Video Review for a Weekly Car Magazine 😊
Nice to see a car review and not a poetic travelogue!
Thank you for saying this! I've had this exact sentiment/criticism/frustration for years but didn't know how to articulate it.
Lovely car, indeed. Some snapshots can be found on our channel as well.
I love Mat's erudite reviews, I have a V8 and V12 Vantage, yet the sound quality is so poor, I can't tollerate listening past half way... Shocking...
Audio?
Have had to give up with this review due to the appalling sound quality. Fortunately I have the Autocar magazine subscription I can read. I find it rather strange considering nearly every comment has complained about the sound that there has been no response from Autocar.
Hopefully Harry will do a review soon.
I really like their videos but man they really have to step up their audio.
Such a shame about the audio I had to move top gear it was that bad
There is no audio?
What in the hell is going on with the sound?
Yep, the audio makes this unwatchable 😢 …time to replace the microphone?
As a native English speaker, I needed captions to understand what you were saying. Your sentences are very truncated in delivery.
The audio is unusable. This is not professional filmmaking.
If this happens one time and you have to use your backup mic, that's fine. But this has happened multiple times recently on here!
I agree re the audio, sounds weird
I agree with the others here, the sound quality is simply terrible, as it was in the last video. It has to be better than this if they want to retain subscribers.
You sound very muffled like your mic is covered in material, very poor !!
£20 mic from Amazon? w00t! Is this a back up one? How about upgrading your backup mics to Hollyland Lark M2 Wireless Lavalier?
why is his voice as muffled as a the exhaust on a heavily turbocharged engine?
Great vid but sort the mic out
Hey @NachoVideo
Could do with some Nacho love for some Lloydy!
why is the sound so bad on this video?
Please get a decent bluetooth mike or stop it hitting your neck - fair too boomy with little top end. Hard to hear what you're saying.
Signal stalk looks like a Mercedes part.
Really poor audio.
Unbearable audio. Off elsewhere..like Henry Catchpole..for his review.
This vid has an early 90s vibe to it
911 turbo s deestroya
Come on Autocar! You should be able to do better than this. Everything the presenter said was lost because of the dreadful audio quality. I could hardly even hear the exhaust note of the car.
D- COULD DO BETER
That microphone is absolute trash
What happened to Autocar.
mic! wtf
Exterminate, Exterminate, Exterminate the Dalek sound quality.
audio again!
💪😎🎸 KILLA 🎸👻
Guys, seriously - should be no excuses for the continual terrible sound.
🦻🦻🦻🦻🦻
Horrible audio. Just can't finish watching the video.
Image not the crispest on UA-cam either.
Yet ANOTHER Autocar motoring review completely ruined by an abysmally poor, muffled & almost indecipherable audio soundtrack that appears to have been recorded with a carbon microphone wrapped in carpet underfelt, dunked into a bowl of custard and then recorded onto the wax rotary drum of an Edison windup gramophone. Really, really bad post-production editing and final compilation values...
The dreadfully inadequate Audio, and the consistently stupefyingly soporific somnambulism over many "Prior" years of the said Reviewer in the video and many preceding it, account for the woeful number of views.....they know he is good at writing and editing, but yet with unerring and willfully ignorant consistency, have him in front of a camera instead of behind a desk....get Andrew Frankel or anyone..else...no shortage of brilliant auto journalists in the UK with knowledge, personality, charisma and eloquent speaking skills, not mumblers....Time for Autocar to make a change....horrible tech as well, audio fixes don't take Einsteinian expertise, but definitely require competent crew, quality control and reliable equipment....please don't lose your audience altogether....🙁
Master of Silly Walks
Still not even close to as pretty as it should be. If I’m not mistaken the sales numbers reflect this
As reviews go, this makes an amazing car sound boring
I'm sorry. It's still as ugly as hell. Wrong engine. How do you go from the gorgeous DB10 concept to the hideous Vantage?
If it were my money I'd buy the slower Jag V8 Vantage. I couldn't smile at this new one on my drive.
It's a beautiful car ,but not sure about the engine sound
Nice.
For fucks sake. Bring the other guy
