- Aston Martin very kindly dropped me the keys to their last V12 Vantage S before the switch over to their new lineup, to be unveiled in a few short weeks at Geneva!
A genuinely fantastic car and a massive thank you to everyone at Gaydon!

Just bought a V12S four months ago, very influenced by your video. This Aston is fantastic, fantastic, fantastic.
Still with you?
Big issues?
@@KHD1982 Still with me! No issues at all actually. I've owned Porsches, BMWs, 20+ cars; this is my favorite by far. So much soul.
@das9125 Wow, sounds amazing. Keep it and enjoy 😉
@das9125 how is transmission in full auto for easy driving and city traffic crawl?
Dude your review was literally perfect .. Keep it up buddy . ddnt even feel 11 minutes passed . Please make more reviews . Cheers
The first thing you need to upgrade is the shocks , they’re wrong on the track and on the road ! I’ve got mine upgraded with custom Fournales suspensions and the car is so much more stable and confortable and the traction is hugely improved.
Nice review by the way ! ;)
Great review, I can tell that you genuinely love that car. I’m in the market for 2016 Vantage was going to get the V8 but now I will definitely consider the V12. Thanks David
Excellent review. Love your accent and how eloquent you speak. Good job sir!
Much appreciated, thank you! I can't believe it's almost at 40 000 views!!
such an amazing review - solid effort man!
Thanks man, more to follow!
A young Clarkson in the making. Good review thank you.
Really, really well made review man! You've gained a sub.
+wrigley090 Thanks man, glad you loved it! There's a lot more coming for sure.
Dude you should be working for Sky TV or the BBC .. great narrative
This is a brilliant video! So surprised the sub count doesn’t reflect this...
Great review of a great car. Subscribed!
+storck08 Thanks man! More coming soon...
excellent review!!! Hope more reviews are coming
+sammyhtb Thank you! As a one man band these opportunities don't come around often, but more to follow for sure.
Spot on. That review did the car justice.
Thank you! It's great to know this is still being watched years later. More content to come later in 2018!
Really surprised they don't put in the 8 speed ZF from the vanquish.
+Bill Lump I dare say it would have made the drive too busy. Given the power, the tall gears let you enjoy the rise through the RPM. I would have even been happy with 6!
Excellent review Richard, very enjoyable. Have you tried the dog-leg manual and if so, when is the review coming? I have an N430 manual and it is amazing but having the V12S manual for a day was a dream - it is simply unbelievable to drive. The DB11 although excellent is nowhere near as good.
Thank you! I would love to produce a dog-leg review, but time and resources are short. I'm hoping to do more very soon. I've heard the N430 is amazing. Good to race, I'm assuming!
Whenever someone asks the question "why is an Aston Martin's key is named Emotional control Unit " I will link them this video.
Great review, why aren’t there more?
Test the V12s manual.
How do you not have more subs? RUclips is strange.
Have to agree with everyone fantastic review, another Sub here. Would love to see a review on the Jaguar-F type R ;)
+Suga Papi Haha, thanks! I actually have a few Jag reviews I've done, but I'm not sure if I should release them...
+ManualFox definitely, I would love to see them.
would like to get your view on them. I'm currently looking at the jaguar xf 2016 , not quite the F type.....yet !
+Suga Papi I've done the XJR and XFS... I'll post them up
engine bay is immaculate
This is a good video (though it would've been good to have done it with a stick). Why aren't there more videos?
Thank you! Glad people are still enjoying the videos... there will be new, regular content starting November 12th. Cars will be coming back eventually.
Ohhh I need this car! just need to win lotto first lol
Now they have a Dogleg and it's like "Biatch please peasant Lamborghini with your automatic fuckhead"
Haha lambo's are jelly
b0ss your alive boss how have u been
+Alejandro Pena Good, man. Just extremely busy. Been making a few videos for another network. Geneva in 2 weeks, a lot of videos to come.
That was one of the best goddamn reviews ever!!!!!!! Now, when it comes to V12's, I'd rather prefer with turbos, why? b'cus I hate reving the life out of the engine while it's gasping for air but not getting any...... I own a 2005 S65 AMG, and I know from experience how much heat a normal aspirated V12 soaks in the engine, while my biturbo V12 with 2 intercoolers are feeding the engine with fresh cold air, yet still the heat is tremendous due to the turbos and the engine. Imagine runing a mile with a scarf wraped around your face during summer time.....you still get air alright, but not the kind you need..... need I say more?
+mikealanzo Glad you liked the review! More to come, in time. I'll take your word on the Mercedes. For sure, the effects of the inter-cooler and increased VE certainly help... I just hope it doesn't take away some of the positive "personality" traits in nasp engines seem to give. Aston have said they're excited to show me what they've got in Geneva and I think it's going to be more than just an engine upgrade.
:). And I take your word on the "personality", you got a point there.... the feeling and the sound is completely different. As you mentioned, let's hope the AM ppl do a good job on the new engine. PS. you got yourself a subscriber :)
+mikealanzo Let's hope so, and thank you!! Much more to come very soon, you won't be disappointed.
That sound is scary
Should I buy one for 60k in 2021/22??
how much is the cost now
FUCKING AWESOME REVIEW. Loved it. Thank you. She is a bad woman..lol
+manchild Thank you! She was... looking forward to making more.
what's the 0-60 time?
haha, nice...next clarkson!
+Patrick Reh Thanks! I don't have a producer to punch, though.
ayy b0ss thats pretty good.
+yesdawson ayy, thanks Dawson!
*Dank car memes*
+Jimbob32165 the fiddle Franku pls.
manual fox...more like automatic fox. Sad choices...
It's a goddamn shame they refuse to use a real triple-pedal setup in lieu of their awful paddler.
+noobasdfjkl I think so too. Who knows, maybe it will happen... still, wouldn't be upset if I had to settle for the paddles!
