We had a go in Aston Martin's fearsome V12 Vantage. We had fun in it, too.

stunning, this car just makes me so proud to be British an Aston Martin.....I want one NOW!!
...... and just remembered the presenter of this channel you do a great job of car talk you choose all the right words and phrases and the right amount of information us car fanatics enjoy to hear. keep up the good work
I love Aston just for the fact they stuck with the stick. V12 + manual transmission = Fun.
Love it with the manual gearbox. Such a good car.
This reminds me a bit of Top Gear of old, back in the good ol days when they actually talked about cars WITHOUT blowing them up. Brilliant job, loved every micro second!!
Amazing car. Great writing also. Well done XCAR, that's quality automotive journalism/entertainment.
Please, continue.
As usual, a fine quality review done by XCAR. You guys have only been on RUclips for a about a year now but you're already on par with Top Gear, FifthGear, EVOTV and CAR Magazine :)
I wish there was an option to hide those exposed carbon-fibred air intakes - it slightly destroys the beautiful profile. Personally I'm not really bothered if the brand new V12 Vantage S has better traction and is lighter than this 'older' V12 Vantage. The V12 Vantage will remain to be more rewarding to drive as it WAS pretty much, the VERY LAST MASS PRODUCTION CAR with a V12 + 3 pedalled manual ;')
The editing you all do to every video is just amazing.
My future second car. A 2012, or if I can stretch it, a 2017 V12 Vantage S with a 7spd dogleg manual. I personally need to stay with naturally aspirated big engine sounds because the NOISE is part of the driving experience. I’m going to have to make do with my V8 2015 Audi RS5 for now, which I will keep as the perfect daily driver with this V12 Vantage being the weekend warrior 😍.
"it will hit 60 in brooooom .2 second" LOL you would think thatt it was kind of a fail from the audio guy there because it wasnt clear what he was saying, but i think it was a WIN that car sounds amazing and i believe that is what a car vid should show how amazing it is so great job guys...by the way it was 4.2 ecs for those who are curious
If I must choose one car to own, this is it! Thank you very much about making review of it, one very good review of it! It's nice to see it again when it's replaced by V12 Vantage S and on YT there's been only 3 years or so old vids.. Thanks for making my day, think I must subscribe ;)
Seriously? who edited this video?@1:57"it'll hit 0-62mph in *WROOOMMM*"
He says 4.2 seconds. But then again, it isn't really important.
Honestly pretty funny if you ask me
Three reasons why I believe this will appreciate in 50 years or so: Manual transmission, 12 cylinders, normally aspirated.
1:38 That made me chuckle! this guys good!
GOD I LOVE THIS CAR!!! I was fortunate enough to ride shotgun in this car. You could hear the exhaust note very clearly inside the cabin. The only thing I thought was a bit "meh" was that there wasn't a lot of leg room but maybe that is just because of the humongous engine...
Love the number plate as well
Astons are my favorite. Full of soul
Ohh that V12......
Manual Gearbox, thats more like it :)
this guy is a good reviewer.
I have to say this giy is one hell of a reviewer
What an epic noise... thank you!!!
Itll hit 62 m/h in just EXPLOOOOSION.... good editing !
I wish they would put a manual in the vanquish. The most beautiful car .
It looks and sounds great, as usual, but it accelerates as quickly as a $40k 370z or a four door S4 family car? With a V12? I don't know where all the power and weight goes on these cars, I mean they're not spacious and have very few features yet somehow still manage to be nowhere as quick as similarly powerful/heavy cars?
The best sound :)
Great car. If I had the money I'd buy this immediately.
Hey Alex, V12 Vantage manual or N430 Vantage manual?
I think they covered the acceleration figure with exhaust noise because it's so astonishingly bad for sucha powerful car. No Aston driver will ever care though, because it's all about the experience, not the figures, and that's what I like about Aston Martin;-)
Would love a roadster version, has to be the updated one though.
Had to turn my volume up and listen real carefully @ 2:02 to hear the time loll
Same song used at the start of the inside koenigsegg drive videos. I think its called the forest or something or other.
Holy shit is that a manual? Omg its rare to see a manual in these exotic super car!
what's the name of the sont that starts at 0:30? PS: great video,guys!
Great vid plus good insight
V12 manual...awesome
A small request to you XCAR, could you include the song titles in these videos? Thank you. Also what is the last song in this one?
Thank you!
No v12s? great review though
gah six years agi so soon.. needs a diablo red gts even w the 8 tis greet
there is aston martin vantage v12 S too
Love this car ! It's awesome
If you have enough money to throw at them they'll make one for you, I don't see why the wouldn't as apparently manual conversions are done for the old Vanquish.
a modern v12 supercar with manual 'box! that's the fucking dream man!!
Song at first half of video????
Did you ever find out?
I recognise you from the cnet videos !! :D
Will it get over speed bumps?
Love the video but I'm sorry I will still chose the V8. Lighter engine at the front=better handling and it's quicker like you said.
Ive owned both, the V8 is killer, the V12 is epic. I miss mine and I’m on the hunt for another
v12 vantage s is even better!
clearly da best aston to bless the roads. v12 engine, manual gearbox, and will u just look at THAT !!
Since when a 4.38m and 1680kg car is considered tiny? I suppose an elise (3.78) for example is... microscopic. Nice video as always though.
At least one car company stay's away from those damn turbo chargers.
My dream car. My ULTIMATE dream car. Full stop.
Your videos don't look the same have you guys changed your editor?
Please! please! do the Vantage V12-S!!!!! Please!!!
Inside Koenigsegg music! Oh yeah!
does any one know the name of the song in the beginning
Did you ever find out?
Anyone remember the Top Gear episode (end of season show) where Jeremy Clarkson drives this in the country side? What a terribly sad video that was. This is better. Thanks.
Now in 2022 I laughed when he said the base price was £135k like it was expensive for a v12 Aston. Total bargain nowadays.
I think the N400 makes the best noise of the Aston Martins.
When are they going to start using Mercedes transmissions?
my 200 quid corsa has a manual gearbox too!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Try Shazam Software in smartphones.
In the words of mr Jeremy Clarkson POWER!
Nothing sounds better than an atmospheric V12 (and nothing sounds worse than a turbo whatever).
The music in the beginning is the same on as Koenigsegg on /Drive...
i love it
0:16 *5.9L V12
Shoulda had about 90 more seconds of car noise.
Same RF music that is used for Inside Koenigsegg on @Drive... Come on XCAR! You can find something different.
The s is awesome
If I had the money id buy one just because it has a manual gearbox
Manual gearbox
Freakin' Nice!!! :D
Why do you look like Chester from Linkin Park???
The opening music is now used by Koenigsegg's videos...
Yup. Know the name?
Please start including song titles.
F*ck yeah
The only problem with this car is... the 911 Turbo.
My god this car is just soo sexy...
It'll hit 60 miles per hour in *RAAAAAAAAAAWR!!*
Buy my 14 year old subaru 1.6. It has manuel transmission.
i do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i'd rather get the 550 maranello
I couldn't hear the 0 to 60 time because of the noise, I forgive you anyway...
Man you're talking about another car...
no drifting?......... oh ok then..
i dont know if its just me, but i never likes the look of the vantage dont know why
so I take it this isn't a car for tall people?
Jeremy Clarkson has driven it, and he's about 6'4"
ianrkav
yeah but was he comfortable?
He seemed to be. He's also driven the V8's too, which is the same car except for the engine ofcourse. He's also driven the DBS which he prefered. It's a bigger car with slightly more room inside. Funny thing is though, the DBS was 2.9s quicker around the Top Gear track than the V12 Vantage! I don't know why.
ianrkav was it the same Stig driving?
ianrkav was it the same Stig driving?
This car isn't a 6.0 litre, it is in fact a 5.9 litre. I know, I know, in reality this changes absolutely nothing about the car and its qualities. It's just dishonest, and sort of like the car world's version of a padded bra.
less talking, more revving please!
It's not a super car
Jesus Christ
THAT'S where I've heard it before...
no drifting?...... oh ok then..
