Is the Aston Martin V12 Vantage S the best Aston Martin yet?

- Forget the Aston Martin Vanquish: the V12 Vantage S is Aston Martin's real range-topper. It has a V12 at the front sending power to the rear, and very little interferes with the fun. Mark Tisshaw reports.

Any great drive requires three elements: a great road, great road conditions and a great car. And one of the greatest in 2013 was in the Aston Martin V12 Vantage S. Anyone who says there are no such things as decent driving roads in America has not been to a mountain pass a couple of hundred miles inland from Los Angeles. On these perfect surfaces, under cloudless skies and amid zero traffic, the V12 Vantage S showed us everything that we'd ever wanted an Aston to be.

Love the fact that you are having so much fun reviewing the car, most presenters try so hard to look cool in the picture no matter what beast they are handling. Changing the subject they should offer this car in manual
The v12 Vantage S literally looks good in every bright color.
never seen anybody put so much steering input and no drifts
Gotta love that sound! Nothing quite like the howl of a big V12.
I didn't find any real information from this "review". It was all just a list of features and gadgets this car has. Get Sutcliffe to review this pls.
I think this was a pretty good review!
Proper hard driving and good commentary of the handling and sensation of driving it (agree specs should be added, but those are easy to find online). Good audio with plenty of outstanding noise and nice photage and view as well.
I liked the interior drive and comment view
Good reviewer! Keep up the good work son!
I think its one of the best astons yet but if they make the vanquish s then that will be something truly special. Aston are just so good at making cars and i really do take my hat off to them. Well done aston martin
lol This guy is driving on one large really squiggly line
First Video I've seen from this reviewer, nice job.
Everyone who says that there is no design in this car needs to wake up. I think it is great to see a company sticking to its guns on design. If a new car came out from them and had no badges, you would know what it is. that proves that they have a recognisable design language. also if you look at the first DB9, and then this, the V12 looks a lot more modern and evolved.
Also, the whole idea of a V12 Vantage is just awesome. When the normal version came out it was amazing to see a car manufacturer having the balls to cram (it really only just fits in there!) an oversized engine into a small sports car. It is like what AMG used to do befre they got bought out by Merc.
It's a shame that there is no manual option but the whole idea of theis car makes me glad as a car enthusiast.
is this a review or a commercial?
GOD it sounds good!!
It could be only me but I really like this reviewer.
I still love the Aston Martin Zagato 1 off just IMO one of the sexiest cars ever
how many corners has he made in each corner?...
It is so fantastic that it does not have the dual clutch and you can change your seats position by accidentally brushing against the controls on the transmission tunnel. But it is a gorgeous looking machine.
The sound on that engine is delicious :)
I found it quite irritating that you see him correcting oversteer in the car, but every outside shot shows the car just turning. He's not even pinning the corner.
I love how he praises the steering yes is seesawing away a the wheel, i wouldn't trust him with my AM(if i had one that is)
Amazing car one of the best
Absolutely love the car and the sound it makes. The only thing I didn't like is that the driver couldn't drift(I guess that's why they didn't show it to us outside the cockpit)....I mean he presses the gas, car goes sideways and then he just lets go. What's the point? Drifting is beautiful when you do it for the whole corner, if anyone has seen Chris Harris drive on Motortrend...that's what I'm talking about.
I don't think, that this is Astons best car. Maybe one of the best handling cars. However what is an Aston Martin all about? Elegance! And this is as elegant as a tuned Mustang.
The DBS, DB9 and off course the Vanquish - these cars are the ultimate Astons.
Incredible car, average review, poor reviewer
this is a flash car! in my opinion a car with an S or a T or a GT in its name deserves a proper review , one with a lap time . a drift circut lap and a balls out fast run . i got nothing from this but a buetifull note!! thanks anyway
best car I've owned to date. the money goes into the driving experience ,not electronic gadgets
Is he using the steering wheel to saw through something.
Awesome Sound !!
I Love It :)
Completely agree with rexetron..
Don't watch these videos to listen to spec sheets .. Need top drivers and road testers like Steve Sutcliffe...
Great car... beautifully simple. The reviewer is no Chris Harris!!
Big engine, small car; a great recipe!
It's only missing the option for a proper manual transmission...
Magnifique!
Aston should begin using the great suspension of the new Mclarens. Get rid of the anti-roll bars.
Dat Sound!
Are you using a bad microphone or is the car really that noisy
Does the steering wheel have a lot of deadzone? the reviewer was wiggling the wheel left and right at 1:20...
Not another Aston !
what are you talking about
James Carson fuck to you
fuck to you
No another troll!
And the winner is.. Land Rover! Oh wait..
nice colour...
'no such things as decent driving roads in America' ... it's a rather large country!
I like this guy. He is no Chris Harris but still... Nice review, awesome car but in a horrible colour.
Which road was this?
Could have done this in 1 second...
'Is the Aston Martin V12 Vantage S the best Aston Martin yet?'
'NO.'
Astons have the best exhaust note of any car.
Aston Martin... we make one car design & stick a variety of engines in it & charge shed-loads of money for it.
i hope this is his first review..
Question of the day. How many times Mark repeated the word damping ?
Looks like a video from Aston Martin it self to sell this car
i like this car,but i love the vanquish 10 times more
what colour is this? tried to configure one on the aston website, and couldnt find this coulour :/
don't you miss the manual gearbox?
Was that a bad mic or a horrible amount of road noise?
Does the reviewer have to cackle in each corner?
this car should be no more than 1500kg..no excuse for it being 1665kg..it's basically the same weight as a DBS.
Great looking car.....if it were 2003.
AMATEUR DRIVER ! give it to Chris Harris plz
He doesn't work for Autocar numpty!
DumpValvesAndDnB i know :)
Probably one of the most frustrating reviews Autocar has produced. The young presenter, whilst no doubt deserving of a start in auto-journalism, didn't fare too well I'm afraid. His car control was poor, commentary lacking any real substance and the editing seemed a little wayward. I'd like to see a more seasoned review of this car. Suttcliffe please.
Dat red carbon fiber interior
Amazing engineering but I have to say it's nothing to look at , the older Aston's have far more wow looks wise
Nothing to look at? Are you blind?
Who put the computergame addicted picolo in a sportscar and told him to review it? O_=
One of the best cars deserved a way better presenter, at least with tons of more experience!
Just my words.- @ André -
What a noisy car! I could barely hear what Mark was saying!
Fug me, that noise!
I'd have it and in the same color!!
but not the latest double clutch shifting!
Is it me or does the presenter seem awkward? Chris Harris or bust!!!!!
He is a beginner ... I guess... He can do better...ok... But who approved the release???
Why he keep on wiggling the steering wheel even when the toad is straight
Is a fucking beautiful car from the best fucking car manufacurer
great car, average review.
I hate the black on the rear, makes the car look cheap.
It would be better if it were all electric.
Sounds good. But comeon Aston the designs nearly 10 years old. Update it. Don't be like porche
The Aston design is just fine as-is; no need to change it. Its very likely that any change to this design from AM would be disastrous.
Just saying that it doesn't look that good. And they could change it. Calm down lols.
doesn't need changing.
JJspitfiremk9 Listen, KID. Since when was James Carson mad at you? No need to hide the fact that you can't spell Porsche. Quit being a wannabe petrolhead who gets bored on beautiful designs by Marek Reichman. Nobody gives a shit to your opinion because its not constructive criticism (e.g. carbon fibre vents on bonnet). Now get the fuck out of here haha
I have a car thanks :p. And what is this world coming to :(
nice car. Bad review, bad presentator
720p? DISLIKE. FOREVER.
This guy was a JOKE he was scared of the car ... Just FLOOR IT ALL THE WAY Don't let off !!!!
Who is that child?
Aston Martin DB5 better
Wow bad sound
Hugo Marcos ROFL :'))
Lucky begar
I wonder why this is guy weird ..
Tāds trumulis
You guys and gals over the pond have to get your brains together, really & honestly. SHEESH !
So Prince Charles can afford an Aston, big bloody deal !...and this just in : .... big friggen' deal, the rest of you can't !
The working class over on the OTHER side of the pond however, in 'Merica (Canada too) ...CAN, yes CAN..afford a Corvette, so stop dreaming and get a real car......
I know cause I have one.
Reckoning Day A corvette is a plastic lump of pig iron that is quick in a straight line but falls apart and can't corner for shit.
The reason Aston martins are expensive is because they are made properly from extremely expensive materials. Hence why all European sports cars are better than a corvette. Plus in the US nobody respects you if you get a "vette" because they are so damn cheap. If you get a jaguar f type then everybody is impressed.
Does that counter your stupid accusation?
I own a Z06. So I know what it can do. Therefore I can say, you, are full of bullshit. Simple.
I own an Aston, so I also know what it can do. Therefore to counter your stupid accusation I know you are also full of bullshit.
Aside from my previous statement, I'm sure the zo6 is a good car. Not better than anything to come out of Britain due to reliability and build quality.
Bullshit. And all you have is a baseball card of an Ass-tonn. If you knew what you were talking about, which you don't, you wouldn't say such hogwash.
Reckoning Day ahahhah, give me a way I can prove it and I will. How do I know you own a vette?
Not the best of drivers :(
Hi! Have you heard about - Danga Video Pro Maker (google it)? Ive heard some interesting things about it and my m8 got great money with it.
Autocar? I don't like this guy and filming the engine note and showing the car going around a corner not matching exhaust note is super lame.and not once did you show the car actually getting sideways.just editor twitching his neck.I WATCH EVERY VIDEO YOU MAKE.AND USUALLY YOU START BY (GET A LOAD OF THIS) BALLS OUT
ugly outdated car
Dat stupid color
Going above the speed limit on a road obviously not closed for this drive, the limit 50MPH? clearly over I bet with him struggling at the wheel, he could kill a family in his enthusiasm, the car BTW is beautiful.
I prefer the look of the Vanquish much more than this.
I agree, but let's face it, any Aston will be something beautiful.
that sound is unbefuckinlievable
And I thought Sutcliffe was bad... This guy thinks he's playing Gran Tourismo. I wonder if he knows crash damage is 'on' in the real world?
