To me, Astons are the kind of cars for someone to go to a very expensive restaurant, or to drive from a luxurious hotel. Aston Martins are stylish, sexy and beautiful, not just a show-off car like Ferrari and Lambo
Ich verehre dieses Auto. Das Design ist perfekt, der Motor ist riesig und genauso perfekt und der Klang jagt mir eine Gänsehaut über den Rücken. Ich habe noch nie in meinem inzwischen etwas längeren Leben etwas so wundervolles gesehen und gehört
It really is absolutely gorgeous, but what amazes me about aston martin is that their cars never look outdated after they've been updated, which is rare in today's market. For example, an audi from 2004 looks really shit and boring compared to a modern one, whereas I love this vanquish, but I still equally love the original vanquish, the last dbs, the db7 and the db9, they all still look perfect
Alfred Munkenbeck Look at the Bentley Continental GT, the older version and the updated. The back-view went worst on the facelift model due to those taillights. The Bentley-boys better should have left it alone and create a completely new model after the Bentley GT
***** I think I disagree. I thought the old bentley continental looked a little ugly, I don't really know why, but the subtle differences made on the new V8 model make it what I believe to be one of the most elegant cars on the road today, and I still don't really know why. The facelifted Continental is one of very few cars today that I can't divert my eyes from when I see one, and again I don't know why. I love it.
Hermann Göring you never heard them in person to say that... at iddle none of those you mentioned does not even come close of what an aston sound like,, accelerating, maybe the AMG, but definitely not the M and much less a S Line which doesn´t even is the RS line from audi...
Zunächst erstmal danke für das tolle Video! Als ich selbst Gelegenheit hatte dieses Auto zu testen war ich so davon fasziniert das ich es vergas Videos davon zu machen. Auch wenn das Auto eine B&O Anlage für ca. 15000€ besitzt habe ich sie eigentlich nicht benützt. Der Motorsound der sich durch die Klappensteuerung ab 3000rpm entfaltet ist einfach abgöttisch gut!!! So war bei mir die S Taste eigentlich immer an und ich habe keinen Tunnel oder Unterführung ausgelassen um mal den Kickdown zu testen :D Besonders in München gibt es ja genügend davon allerdings vorsicht den die S Taste ist im Straßenverkehr nicht zulässig ;) So kanns passieren das man mal eben schnell von der Polizei angehalten wird aufgrund der hohen Lautstärke. Das Auto ist vom aussehen und vom klang definitiv äußerst auffällig. Ich konnte damals kaum iwo stehen ohne das mich Leute auf dieses Auto angesprochen haben. Sollte sich mir diese Gelegenheit wieder mal bieten würde ich sie aufjedenfall sofort wieder ergreifen. Denn dieses Auto vereint Stiel, Power und Understatement und ist eben ein echtes 007 Car. Vg
Very nice video. You've got the right idea - sound is crucial, and I really like how you include starting and letting it idle, not just revving. I agree, too, it sounds fabulous.
To me it is fast enough. This would be the perfect vehicle for me especially if I am in a situation where id have to pull away from torrential situations on the highway. Too many laws in place to even try going 100 plus these days. :(
To Kristian; Very well said. Aston & exotic cars speak to that sublime thing in our hearts. It is not all about speed & millisecond transmission shifting. But your the second person to compare the GT500 to an Aston. They couldn't be farther apart than the countries that designed them.
Hello, I would love to get a review of the 2006-2007 Aston Martin Vanquish S ! Only 1086 units ever built from 2005 to 2007. The last handmade Aston Martin at Newport Pagnell factory. Newport Pagnell opened in 1958 to build the DB4 and closed on 19th July 2007 when the last Vanquish S was built. One of the most iconic Aston ever, very rare. It was the fastest series production Aston until the V12 Vantage S. Its top speed was measured at 322.8 km/h (more than 200 MPH) (GPS speed). Only 2578 Vanquish ever made, 1086 of them were Vanquish S The most beautiful Aston V12 sound... much more impressive than the new 2013 "Vanquish" which is simply an evolution of the DB9 since 2004 (same VH base), while the Vanquish was a complete new model when it was first launched in 2001. Better to review a 2006 model to get the new dashboard with big navigation screen. Nice video as always ! :)
Thanks for you comment and the nice explanation. That Vanquish S from 2006 indeed sounds very interesting, especially what you say about the sound. Of course it will be super hard to get my hands on one of these for a Drive & Sound, but I will give my best:-) Cheers
Automann-TV There is only one for sale in Germany, at Aston Martin dealer in München. The car belonged to goal-keeper Oliver Kahn (written on the sill plates), it is for sale at 130 000 €. Maybe you could contact them, it would be a great advert / help for selling their car ! :) Viele Grüsse
Oh wow, that really is a rare car. I have been in contact with several dealerships (even luxury cars and super car dealerships) and they are more an more open to provide cars for promotion purposes. Unfortunately my time is very limited and I can't take all of those interesting opportunities. But I'll keep that in mind. Grüße aus Kaiserslautern!
Automann-TV It would be such a great thing if you could review this particular ex-Oliver Kahn Vanquish S (the color is Meteorite Grey). You really need to get a 2006 model, because when the Vanquish S was launched in september 2004, it still had the old dashboard of the Vanquish (2001-2004). Viele Grüsse aus Paris
Just beautiful. I own the Vantage, which is half the price of the Vanquish and they look almost exactly the same. Not sure the price is worth the difference.
Er fährt sich wirklich sehr sportlich aber auch elegant! Zweifelsohne hat er aber den schönsten Sportwagensound seiner Klasse. Eines der tollsten Autos das ich jemals gefahren bin! :-)
Atemberaubend, einfach atemberaubend! Ich freue mich auf einen Vanquish. Wie war Ihre Zuverlässigkeit und haben Sie das automatische Getriebesystem touchtronic 3? (English: Stunning, just stunning! I'm looking forward to getting a Vanquish. How has your reliability been and do you have the touchtronic 3 system?)
+Hans Klostermann Der AMG GTS ist klar das bessere Auto, aber an den Flair des Vanquish kommt er nicht ran. Ungeachtet des Preise würde ich den Vanquish nehmen, noch bessere Optik und vom Fahren her sehr exklusiv, wenn auch nicht so perfekt wie der AMG GT.
Aston Martin was never meant to be a race car, but a luxury car with race car characteristics. I don't think they needed or intended to get into the low 4's or 3's
Naja, die meisten Supersportwagen oder auch schon "günstigere" Sportwagen fahren sich im Alltag oft nicht so einfach und spielerisch wie ein Golf. Sie haben Ihre Ecken und Kanten (von den Herstellern auch teilweise so gewollt) und das merkt man halt schon. Beim Aston Martin (hatte Vanquish, V12 Vantage und DB9) ist die Rundumsicht und das Einsteigen erstmal ok, aber beim rangieren merkt man halt, dass die Getriebe nicht ganz so harmonisch abgestimmt sind, das stört auf Dauer. Auch beim Gallardo braucht man seine Eingewöhnungszeit, durch die sehr niedrige Sitzposition und das ruppige Getriebe....aber mit ein paar Tagen Gewöhnung geht auch das ganz gut:) Die Porsche sind traditionell die alltagstauglichsten und am einfachsten zu fahren, dadurch aber manchmal auch etwas kühler und weniger emotional.
A manual is perfect for a car like the Vantage, but in a GT car like the Vanquish, a smooth automatic or automated manual is perfect. I don't want row my own gears in a big, soft cruiser like this, I think it would ruin the experience and purpose of the Vanquish.
I don't understand why this isn't a replacement for the DB9, but then again, I didn't understand why the Virage wasn't a replacement for the DB9 back in 2010. This should be a replacement, not a new flagship, as it does everything the DB9 does in exactly the same way but is only 2 years out of date as opposed to 4.
Considering the power this Vanquish is really slow. But then this is a car where you appreciate more other things besides its dynamics like the look, the noise, the presence...mainly things you can hardly put a price tag on.
Fantastic video and a great watch, however, the driving style of the driver is very frustrating, change up then immediately down again, up, down etc etc. just let the engine rev or hold in gear for the next corner!
The gentleman's car
Best engine sound in the world!
To me, Astons are the kind of cars for someone to go to a very expensive restaurant, or to drive from a luxurious hotel. Aston Martins are stylish, sexy and beautiful, not just a show-off car like Ferrari and Lambo
I would never buy a trashcar like ferrari and lambo
I couldn't have put that better myself
Christoph meister Chill mate, they are still genuine cars.
KallouWhatElse for james bond
kynigh They say the first time you drive a Ferrari you know nothing else will ever be better.
One day....one day
Update ?
Yea Update?
He bought it and deleted RUclips, because he doesn’t need it anymore
This or new Bentley GT ? I think ...this.
update ????
My dream car and one of the best exhaust notes in the world!!
that exhaust is like the singing of the angels
Colin true
Ich verehre dieses Auto. Das Design ist perfekt, der Motor ist riesig und genauso perfekt und der Klang jagt mir eine Gänsehaut über den Rücken. Ich habe noch nie in meinem inzwischen etwas längeren Leben etwas so wundervolles gesehen und gehört
aston martin and lamborghini have the best start up sound ever!
amg
AMG acceleration is wicked
@john m But aston martin now uses the AMG engine in V8 Vantage
It really is absolutely gorgeous, but what amazes me about aston martin is that their cars never look outdated after they've been updated, which is rare in today's market. For example, an audi from 2004 looks really shit and boring compared to a modern one, whereas I love this vanquish, but I still equally love the original vanquish, the last dbs, the db7 and the db9, they all still look perfect
Well its difficult to improve on perfection.

Dude, a 2009 Audi R8 V10 looks more DATED than this Aston Martin Vanquish. I'd take an Audi R8 V10 (especially a V10 Plus) over an Aston anyday.
Dude, basically you Are Right but take a look at the Virage Coupe from 1990...
This is the best car in the world in my opinion !
The world's most beautiful car ever!!!
The true definition of a Sexy car!
I actually would..
Yipppeah!
Nothing sounds like an Aston..
Hermann Göring you never heard them in person to say that... at iddle none of those you mentioned does not even come close of what an aston sound like,, accelerating, maybe the AMG, but definitely not the M and much less a S Line which doesn´t even is the RS line from audi...
This is one of my favorite Aston Martin cars.

Of all modern cars, this is the most beautiful one!
Real car for real gentelmans,!!!!!
love Aston martin vanquish so much
What a beauty of a car... I like the Astons
My ultimate dream car even though there are faster , more show-off , better performance in mostly everyway i just want this.
The sound of this aston martin is better than my favorite song :)
I listened to that thing start 5 times. Damn it sound good.
This is the best car ever made.
Wahnsinn! Das ist ein richtig schönses Auto. Danke für das Video :)
I love Aston Martin Cars!!!!

I agree, this car has way more than enough power for 99.9% of our average everyday driving.
Awesome awesome awesome vid, one of my favorite car makers, nothing but style & quality. Be Safe;-).

One day I will own a aston martin, one day...
EIn Traum verarbeitet in Blech, Carbon und Alu! HAmmer V12!!
Just beautiful. I own the Vantage, which is half the price of the Vanquish and they look almost exactly the same. Not sure the price is worth the difference.
Oh yeah best aston ever
was für ein geiler sound so richtig böse
Great video and sound. Thank you!
Such a beautiful beast
Amazing audio! Thanks
They look good, they sound good, they're perfect.
So beautiful
Perfect spec!
Absolute beauty...
that start up engine is the sexiest thing
Er fährt sich wirklich sehr sportlich aber auch elegant! Zweifelsohne hat er aber den schönsten Sportwagensound seiner Klasse. Eines der tollsten Autos das ich jemals gefahren bin! :-)
truly a dream !!
Masterpiece
Atemberaubend, einfach atemberaubend!
Ich freue mich auf einen Vanquish.
Wie war Ihre Zuverlässigkeit und haben Sie das automatische Getriebesystem touchtronic 3?
(English: Stunning, just stunning!
I'm looking forward to getting a Vanquish.
How has your reliability been and do you have the touchtronic 3 system?)
Beautiful car Xx
Really Nice Lookin' Front end :):):)
Gentlemen's car !
those gloves tho! 4:20
komische Frage: Welches Auto gefiel Dir persönlich besser? Der AMG GTS oder der Vanquish? Sowohl vom Fahren her als auch von der Optik :)
+Hans Klostermann Der AMG GTS ist klar das bessere Auto, aber an den Flair des Vanquish kommt er nicht ran. Ungeachtet des Preise würde ich den Vanquish nehmen, noch bessere Optik und vom Fahren her sehr exklusiv, wenn auch nicht so perfekt wie der AMG GT.
+Automann-TV danke für die schnelle und nette Antwort :D
beautiful car
Bang & Olufsen real audio quality for cars :)
Rombo fantastico!
erste mal ich habe gesehen diese model 2013 and one 77 ist auch good in beide falle geheimlich und elegant soft
is that the onix black on ASTON MARTIN Vanquish,super
amazing car
Everything is perfect but why is 0 to 60 4.8 seconds? it seems relatively slow
***** Yes I know it's 4.0. but they tested in the video at 4.8...
Sarin Murlidar That's the driver, not the car
Aston Martin was never meant to be a race car, but a luxury car with race car characteristics. I don't think they needed or intended to get into the low 4's or 3's
Hammer sound
VW Touran catching you up at the end lol
Einfach ein geiles Auto.
I have no money but still have a cool car! a dream! F1 Sound 😅
Never seen a Tachometer go Counter clockwise :):):)
fantasic car I love the Jag XKR and its more reliable too
better dealer network too
Ist es grundsätzlich schwerer einen solchen Sportwagen zu fahren als z.B. einen "normalen" Wagen (z.B. einen Golf)?
Naja, die meisten Supersportwagen oder auch schon "günstigere" Sportwagen fahren sich im Alltag oft nicht so einfach und spielerisch wie ein Golf.

Von der Optik und vom Klang ein Traum von einem Auto :)
+Automann-TV naja porsche sind aber bei schlechtwetter und eventuell im winter auch nich ganz so toll zu fahren.
looks nice but the price and interior don't make sense....
soooooo true
Same thing with bugatti veyron :)
imagine that car with a manual transmission… :O
A manual is perfect for a car like the Vantage, but in a GT car like the Vanquish, a smooth automatic or automated manual is perfect. I don't want row my own gears in a big, soft cruiser like this, I think it would ruin the experience and purpose of the Vanquish.
Ein Statement für die 12
Danke fürs im Leerlauf einfilmen.
Kein Pallaver, pures Auto empfinden.
handling gloves are brand ??
Das ist das non plus ultra von einem Auto. Alleine der Ton da braucht man auch keinen Radio mehr. Die Verarbeitung usw. das gibt es nur einmal.
ist es nicht ein sixt wagen? :)
How did you make a one minute, fifty second video into almost ten minutes!?
I don't understand why this isn't a replacement for the DB9, but then again, I didn't understand why the Virage wasn't a replacement for the DB9 back in 2010. This should be a replacement, not a new flagship, as it does everything the DB9 does in exactly the same way but is only 2 years out of date as opposed to 4.

But then this is a car where you appreciate more other things besides its dynamics like the look, the noise, the presence...mainly things you can hardly put a price tag on.
No a Ford Fiesta is slow. You don't know what your talking about.
Driver is vastly inferior to Car and Driver and Road & Track drivers who get much better times.
Its from Auston Martin in Munich i know it personaly :)
Velocímetro vai ate 360 km/h ta loucooooo...
Its GTA V Dewbauchee Massacro :)
You need class to drive and aston martin :)
Maravilloso
無茶苦茶かっこいいな
Ese sonido del motor es como una pieza de mozart.
ich würde so gerne mal mit fahren...
@ EXACTLY 4:22 ! .........aaawwhhhhhhH!!!! :)
00:55 ohhhhh god
Algun día se que algun día ..
All Aston Martin vehicles sound the best ever apart from the V8, V10 and V12 are better but This Aston Martin is the best ever sound!
short shifting. your changing up the gears too soon bro
Fantastic video and a great watch, however, the driving style of the driver is very frustrating, change up then immediately down again, up, down etc etc. just let the engine rev or hold in gear for the next corner!
qué hermosura
but aston is class I must admit
суперррррр!
Transmission seems very laggy and slow. Slips from gear to gear like slushbox automatic. No crisp snick feel and sound.
