New V12 Vantage

[bigbob]

If I had the money to be splurging on something like that, Bob, I'd have to assume I'd not see half of it back again. Any appreciation* would be a pleasant surprise.

*and I'd get none from Mrs Crud, let's be in no doubt.

Not in those seats.

It’s a difficult one as Aston limited stuff at the high end does seem to hold well….GT8’s are still at new prices and the GT12’s are around 300k and cost 250k new.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. ;-)

Is that a reference to #20?

Looks better without the horrid rear wing which you can clearly delete.

Rear end does look someone’s sat on a pack of Kerrygold butter

Have you seen the reviews Adam…..Most headlines are saying it is the not best V12 Vantage you can buy. Not that Aston Martin would be that bothered as they are all sold.

Mixed reviews for sure. Henry Catchpole likes it. I'm sure a few will be back in dealers when buyers switch for the inevitable roadster.

I bet all will carry a premium over the already silly price tag.

Probably awesome but for ne it's just trying too hard - still prefer the 4.3 or 4.7 V8 Vantage it does't scream and shout it just gets on with getting you where you want to go quickly

If it can be as sought after as the GT8 or GT12 then I agree. It needs to win some more adoration first.

A visit to Dick Lovett today and they had one in the showroom. It has so much aggression and presence in the flesh….I think this one belongs to the chap who had a GT8, the lime green GT12, a Vantage F1 edition and now this…

Would you have one for that money, Andy? Factor in that oh-so-not-premium Mercedes darth vader interior.

 

[Andyk]

After driving one I really love the new Vantage Adam interior and all but no I wouldn’t have the new V12 Vantage even if you could get one because next door in the used section was my all time favourite car and the only car I want to keep for ever….Again silly money but I really don’t care as every time I get close to one of makes my knees go all funny…

But there would also be an aweful lots of cars I would also have before the new V12 Vantage..

MC20, McLaren 720s, McLaren 600 LT, AMG GTR, Vanquish S…To name a few…

I like the idea of that (in a proper colour) but I imagine they’re just hideously uncomfortable.

To be honest from the reviews of the new V12 Vantage seems to say it’s like a car that doesn’t really know what it wants to be. I am sure it is just amazing to drive though and while so know lots don’t like the new Vantage it just had me fixed in the detail of the car and it looks very mean indeed.
