New Aston Martin Vantage vs DB11 Volante with RACE TRACK ending! w/ Tiff Needell
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 окт 2024
- Paul and Tiff get behind the wheel of two latest generation Aston Martins; the brand new 2018 Aston Martin Vantage and all new Aston Martin DB11 Volante - with a very surprising race track head to head ending with Paul and Tiff on an oval race circuit.
Both of these Aston Martins are now powered by the same AMG derived V8 twin-turbo engine and we see just how different these two cars were to drive.
Which would you take? The sharp-handling Veridian Green Aston Martin Vantage sports car, or the Skyfall Silver drop top DB11 Aston Martin Volante GT cruiser? Oh... and did you know what the "Mum Test" was, according to Dr Andy Palmer? ;)

Easy question... DB11 Volante or new Vantage? Answers below...
Lovecars DB11 I mean how could you not?
Lucky man!!
new DBS for me tickes all the boxes. Vantage looks not up to AM standards inside and I also do not like convertible cars.
Vantage from the front looks like a new mx5, so neither. M3 for me...
Either one. Both are beautiful cars. I wouldnt be to fussy that's for sure lol
That opening...Shmee anyone...
Tiff attempting to be a RUclipsr!
The RUclipsr p1ss-take cracked me up! Got to love Needles!
Lol, Tiff ripping RUclips Car Vloggers. Great one guys.
Hi Sach - thanks for the nice comments as always
Vantage needs DB11s headlights then it would be near perfect
Looks pretty good now! :)
Absolutely. Vantage headlights look like a 90s Mazda 323
it looks good overall but if one was behind me at a light i probably wouldnt know it was an aston martin. astons have a pretty distinct look and the new vantage strays from that a bit
Well the new Vantage has the more Bond DB10 (Spectre) headlights and overal looks Having it in Skyfall Silver means that you almost have a Bondcar of yourself. Hopefully it doesn't come with an Atmosphere button. XD
I was thinking the same thing. I wish you could have the DB11 front end and the Vantage rear end for the perfect looking automobile.
You both bring so much fun to motoring thanks
Thanks as always Bob!
Don't know why Vloggers worry him so much. He's in a different league.
Thanks! Was only a bit of fun. There's a lot of respect for those guys
@@lovecarsTV no doubt.
Excellent. Great ‘proper film’... Lovecars raising the bar yet again. Thank you guys
Thank you for watching and for the nice words!
Have to agree with Tiff, the Vantage looks good. It starts to grow on you after a while. From the side, it kind of has an F-Type design feel to it.
I'm seeing you on EVERY car video 😂 seems you're into cars as much as me. What's your dream?
The front of the vantage, mainly the lights, looks like they are extracted from a HORROR movie.
Oh! Definatintly personal choice, but can't see that!?
Thanks for the video Paul and Tiff!
Thank you for watching and for the very nice comment!
Both of them are great especially because they have steering wheels. Steering wheels are just a great addition to the car overall, I'm amazed the designer took the time to add them
Tiff is a flipping legend, good to see fifth gear back on TV last week also!
Out of these 2 cars I think the Vantage would be the best to drive. Can't wait until the make a more hardcore version of it.
Thank you for the nice comments!
Can't believe this channel is not more popular. Took me forever to discover this. Tiff is tops! Will be sharing this with my mates for sure.
The beginning was so funny, reminded me of supercarblondie haha
Thanks
I adore Astons 😍 but that new one looks a little bit 'MX5' at the front.. 😕 I think it's the lights...
More Tiff,more Tiff!!!!😃
Lots more coming!
i love this intro, the way tiff was acting should be the definition of being excited "look it has a mirror 😂😂". great video lovecars keep up these type of intro. 👏👏👏
Thank you! Was a bit of spontaneous fun!
both for u and us
Always super enjoyable watching you Tiff. I miss 5Th gear and your banter. But your back!
Sorry I’m so late watching but the wait has been worth it. I can never get myself to say anything wrong about Aston Martin. The filming was great 👍 and the presentation superb, as always. I’ve only been to Aston Martin Bristol to look but they are always very courteous. Regards, Bob
Hi Bob. Hope you're well. Always a pleasure to hear from you
"I've seen it."
Brilliant.
Thank you for watching!
love what you guys & girls are doing I share your vids with my car mad friends and it always goes down well keep up the good work 👍👍
Thank you for watching AND for sharing! Much appreciated
Not exactly what I had in mind when I requested you get Tiff something to chuck sideways guys! Get on the blower to Aston Martin Australia & have Tiff chase you in a DB11 around Bathurst in a Vantage! Tiff in an Aston with the inside front wheel off the ground going down through the dipper would be a sight to see! Only a bit over 3 weeks til the mountain roars into life 😎
Ha! Not quite sideways in the little Vauxhalls / Holdens! Hope to get to Bathurst one day for sure!
What an awesome video, that green 💚
Thank you Mr Fox TV
If you look each section of the car the DB11 look nicer but if you look at the whole package the Vantage look nicer. Honestly I don't like the head and tail lights of the Vantage but when you look at it as a whole package it somehow look nicer then the DB11. As for interior I think Vantage hands down better.
Incredible work guys!
Thank you for watching!
Best intro for a Long time! Spot on!
What? No Paul? Oh there he is!
I've recently found this channel, its great! Interesting, informative and amusing reviews. Its showing up 5th gear, which im glad is back on tv, but that just feels a bit old, its the same format as before. Keep up the great work on here, its the future!
Thank you for the very kind words. Much appreciated
You've definitely carved out your niche in a sea of automotive content. Partnering with Tiff shoots the credibility off the chart. Quality video. Awesome content. As for which one? Tough choice. Two quite different cars form the same manufacturer, for two different driving styles. I'd have both!! (If only!!)
Thanks for the really nice words. And good choice (both!)
The LACK of haptic buttons is a real bonus for the Vantage. As a driver's car - indeed ANY car - the focus should always be on the road and not piss-arseing around taking your eyes off the road to find them!
Tiff is such a charismatic guy, isn’t he?!
That opening is brilliant and what is completley wrong with social media!!! Love both cars also Aston Martin now but always talking about the engines although only mentioned briefly the fact they are produced by AMG and all the electronics are Mercedes-Benz. Tiff/Paul would you have a GTS or Vantage (forget badge).... talking drivers car?
Great video, keep up the good work gents
Thank you Tim
nice one guys, thanks AM Bristol.... :-)
Saw that intro and I was about to think you had a budget cut for this video hahaha
We don’t have a budget to cut 🙄😛
@@lovecarsTV ouch 😂😂😭😭 Well, I believe there is a way for us viewers to increase such a budget, right? Isn't it some crowdfunding, investing-like site?
Very true! We will see what the future holds! (PS - why are you still awake????)
@@lovecarsTV whoops 🤷 too much I wanted to get done 😂 fell asleep very soon after that comment but I couldn't wake up 4.5 hours later to go to the gym like I wanted to 😴
The front of Vantage looks to me like a Mazda MX5 front ... I like more the DB11 and the old Vantage.
dier2tte yea the new vantage needs some styling tweaks
I loved the v12 zagato of the previous generation
Wish they had taken those design elements into the new vantage
I’m sure after a few years of slight modifications they will make it more beautiful
haha he said, "We mustn't call it a v8 vantage because they're pretending there will never be a v12 vantage."
Great video once again. Not normally a fan of green but the Vantage really looks great in it.
Thank you for watching and for the comments
Very much a TVR look to the new Vantage.
Nooooooo!
Nice jab at all the social media car reviewers in the beginning... Tiff, you are the master :)
You do feel sorry for Aston Martin, everyone moaned when their previous generation followed the cookie cutter method of design, now every model has it's own unique look & people still aren't satisfied.
We weren't moaning! (well maybe Tiff a little bit!!)
Who moaned about the db9? Or dbs ... the vantage sold quite well
I remember moans about the virage being bland
I’ve been hoping the db11 would grow on me, just something about it isn’t quite right
The old dbs is my dream car, with a manual transmission it’s sex on wheels!
@@lejink Journalists, spoilt journalists.
Hheeyyy how have I never come across this channel before ?!
I love watching Tiff, is he always on this channel?!
Subscribed in hopes he is
Thanks for watching and subscribing! Tiff is on most videos. Sometimes he's busy filming this "Fifth Gear" thing...!
Lovecars oh that little side project of his “fifth gear” ?
Well Tiff, don’t quit your day job @LoveCars. ;)
Keep on making these videos, it would be cool if you could get some guest appearances from other 5th gear folk I loved that show.
Fingers crossed one day!
I must agree, I'm not sure about both look. Half of me convinced because they are Aston Martin but half kept believing they are not quite right
Great content as usual. Tiff is very funny, but he's right. The Vantage is the real drivers car and the DB11 is more of a GT cruiser. I am looking forward to driving the Vantage myself.
The front nose of the vantage are similar to the vulcan, unlike the traditional shape of aston martin on the db11. With the right headlights it might look even better.
Paul and tiff need a tv shoe production now.
Not a fan of open-tops unless it's a proper supercar with a rigid shell i.e. 488 Spider or 570S Spider.
A bit disappointing after watching 14 minutes and discovering that it was only a roadtest. It is great to see tiff back in new fifth gear and lovecars after these years but what i am really hoping to see is him pulling lap times on a track and doing a serious dynamical assessment of the vehicle beside a great sence of humor. But hey, never mind me. I wouldn´t be writing here if lovecars channel wouldn´t care about our opinions which in itself is very pleasing and unique to us however mean we might be. I think that all comes in good time in case of you two- keep up the good spirits and i keep on waiting for more great videos!
Thanks very much for the feedback. It's great when people take the time to be constructive. We don't do too many track tests (mainly due to the cost) and always try and list it on the thumbnail and/or in the description. Hope that helps and thanks again!
You reviewed it! Looks beautiful
Thank you!
Back from holiday so I can finally watch this vid :p
I'm the complete opposite of Tiff, I didn't like the DB11 at first but now I kinda fell in love with it. But the Vantage... Nope, not my style, not an ugly car at all but not as elegant as I'd like an Aston Martin to be. I do love the color tho ;)
Great vid!
Thank you for watching and for the nice comments! :)
dat Vantage is soooo perfect👌🏻😩😩😩😩
Top presentation....the way it must be done.
TIFF for ever...
To me the #DB11 has A LOT more charackter in the front compared to the #Vantage.
It's funny how Paul and Tiff completely disagreed on the looks!
I must admit i can't wait for some amazing Vanquish that looks totally different.
Vanquish will be mid engine.
I guess we all enjoyed that intro! So juvenile ignorant automotive corny-joy has it’s place, but it gets old in a hurry. I enjoy watching something a bit more tasteful, with substance and credibility, a show that is both lighthearted and serious, that is cool in a natural focused relaxed style! Please & thank you!
P.S. Hey guys don’t you think that street cars are going to need manual transmissions in the future to compete in the fun-department against EV’s after the EV’s takeover all of the overly-cherished performance figures (if they do)?!
I plan on buying a couple of EV’s, eventually, but I can’t imagine not having one MT ICE car as well.
- North American lifelong manual transmission driver, give me the stick baby!😉
Ha! The intro was a bit of fun. Lots of the RUclipsrs are very talented and doing a great job (and lots are very juvenile and highly irritating!!). Thank you for watching and for taking the time to comment 👍
Front end of the new Vantage still looks like an old Mazda MX6.. Has a Japanese feel to the front, Sadly...
Haha yeah all I can see is MX6! The rest of it is drop dead gorgeous though...what a shame.
It's got a steering wheel.... , I'm sold
😂👍
Lol Tiff taking a swipe at some RUclipsrs ,btw there is a hand full of really good ones about but yeah think Tiff covered the average to poor ones very well there hehe ,love the colour of vantage cant afford either but nice to drool now and again :)
It was only for fun! Big respect for loads of the guys out there!
So paint is an extra, wonder’s never cease.
The grille on the Vantage...my god with respect to our unsighted people,was the designer blind ?
Lol I came here as soon as I knew he (Tiff) is here.
and its definately a DB11 Volante Skyfall silver but with the right "Bond" behind the wheel and "me" right next to him forever, would'nt that be nice, and we can always dream......
Ha! Paul is not the right Bond? He said you could join him at least!
only joking!
❤
Love this!
Thanks Nick!
Please get some better interior cameras and don’t use the go pro if your going for that tv looking shots and try to get a mic that you can hear the exhaust. Huge fan been subscribed since 10k and please keep tiff!
TV look on RUclips budget = GoPro for in car shots! We're growing and adding to our equipment list as much as we can - but 4k GoPros for the in car stuff will be around for a while (unless we get some sponsorship!!). Thanks for the feedback and for being around since 10k - much appreciated! And we hope Tiff is around for a lot longer to come too!!
Omg I can't unsee this, the new Vantage (from the front) looks too much like the new shape MX5.. 🤦♂️😮
Tiff, don’t you know that all the kids are doing “black everything”. Don’t join the me-too crowd. I always thought you were a rebel.
Green is mean.
Agree. This looked great
No contest, the DB11 is superior in every way. 💕💯
Quality as alway
Hi Carl - thank you for watching
I'm not a big fan of the Vantage front end (it looks a bit like a Mazda MX5 Miata) I say DB11 front end with Vantage rear.
Trouble is with the James bond palaver is the way you feel you should act in someway swarv?
Imagine following through or gassing off in a Aston,
All the more insulting to one's inner ego.
😧
im really stuck between which of these to get can any car buffs give me a bit of advice please
Get both 😂
How do you rent a private track? How much does it cost?!!
Well this one wasn't that much!
I LOL When Tiff imitated a RUclipsr, perhaps he also got an idea how it is to produce a video with nothing but yourself as a film-crew. It’s not easy to maintain quality at all time, speaking of my own experience as a RUclipsr...
Hi Janko - love your channel. Great filming, effects and presenting (and you have external audio!!). Now subbed!
Ohh I feel honored having you as a subscriber not sure if i'm worth it... anyway keep up the great work with the channel and the car manufacturer will through cars in your direction.
It's all about passion Janko! Very enjoyable videos and looking forward to watching more
Gentlemen. Just seconds after the comment "we are making a proper film", just 1 min 2 seconds in it cuts to a gambling add.......and again at 5 min 30 sec.
Come on. Adds at the beginning please so I can put them on 🔇 before listening to an uninterrupted classy review
Tiff... Such a jokester... Lovecars... BAMMM 👍👍💥💥
I love Aston Martin's style but these 2 have headlight design problem.
Amazing Content 👌🏼
Both are nice, I would take the Volante though.
Thank god he didn’t take that Vantage on the track!
Ha! Not on that track at least!!
Ha ha 😳
Why?
Thought that into was hilarious.
db11 looks strange, seen it in person but something about the back looks cheap.. maybe the taillight needs to come out. like the zagato
I hope you drive the DBS Superleggera
Us too! Working on it!
Victor Meldrew drives the DB11.
I love both cars but the Aston Martin Vantage looks like a 2019 Mazda Miata honestly.
Somehow the new Vantage front end looks like a catfish to me. That grill is so ugly and spoils the look of what could be a gorgeous car. The old Vantage was stunning to look at and is still my favourite - I'd take one over the new Vantage any day.
From the side Vantage ,DB11 AND DBS all look even more similar than the last cars. Not normally aspirated, terrible interiors, expensive for performance and quality and design good but nothing like the iconic cars they replace. Big fail = big depreciation, No waiting lists is proof ,unlike the old ones with two year waiting lists when new !!!!!
Why is he look so familiar??!?!?
30sec in I already like the video
Fantastic. Good to hear your confidence in the rest of it!
Wow my friend.
AM Vantage everyday.... especially if we get driver day training with Tiff....
The title is weird.
You're right. We spent a long time deliberating it.
What can we do to up subscribers to 300M ??
🤷♂️
Someone get their grand dad.
To me the Vantage is like looking at the most beautiful girl in the world then noticing that she has a big hairy mole on the end of her nose, you just can stop staring at it. So Aston why the MX5 headlights.....Why!!!!!!
Good morning mate
Good morning!
I don't think either is as pretty as the generation before.
Lets be honest, that thumb nail is click bait.
🤷 🤷♂️
We just updated it. It was rubbish
haha, fair enough, still enjoyed the vid.
Show!!!!
