Aston Martin Vantage Preview | Will it be better than the Porsche 911? 

Love everything but headlight shape too big weird

This looks much better than the previous version, the previous version just looked like an Aston trying to be a Huracan. This looks like its own car but I still prefer the 911.

I prefer the last generation of the Vantage with the naturally aspirated V8. I don’t think this shape will age as well.

I preferred the look of the original version.

this car is for classy people

Right

Love when the supercar flagship styling finally trickles down to the entry models

It’s the best looking car on the market. Not a bad angle on her

Hard disagree. I've loved Astons for the better part of 2 decade's but the rear lights on this gen vantage are just a mess and really take it down a notch for me. The tailights of the DB9 era were just so much more beautiful. I get that they're trying to invoke the classic Aston grille shape in these taillights, but it's kinda offputting to be honest.

​@woutergrob8587 naw, man. You're in the minority here. The car is stunning from front to back.

I really don't like the back I prefer the valour or Victor style at the rear

As if you'll be touching any of those lmao

Not available until April for them to test drive

No one will buy this, because they wanted a Porsche. Publications should stop always comparing every new Vantage with a 911. Buy this if you prefer this, buy the Porsche if you like that, buy both if you like both.

@@stefegiliomeeCorrect. Different guy. The guy who wants this likes fine wine, weekenders and fine food. The 911 guy is different. Permanently unmarried, occasionally tracks it, hates Corvette guys.

@@jamesdellaneve9005the guy who buys Aston Martin wants a long and intense relationship with his mechanic

James is 5’10”. Very comfortable inside!

Believe it’s Podium 👌

I just checked the Aston Martin page. This is a transmission car, so the gearbox has been moved from the rear axle to in front of the driver. This will make for a much less special driving experience. Just a fancy F type.

😂

😮

@@CARmagazineTV haha true though even Mercedes new GT63 has all wheel drive this is a dinosaur, try thrashing it in wet or with the slightest bit of frost, gt for me anyday.

no chance

655hp is the entry level, if anything, a special edition with more power will appear (F1 V2 perhaps). No word at all on a manual, but none of the last range of production models; Vantage, DB11, DBS, DBX were blessed with a manual. Only a couple of the limited edition specials they produced such as the Victor had one. So, I'd say that's an almost definite no.

Sadly I doubt they will make a mass-produced manual ever again

it wont pass emission with manual

Vantage is the sports car in the range and DB12 is the GT.

This should help explain it: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pmfufcIYYiw.htmlsi=PZa76p_nLzKcWQ-q

Green! 🤣 Seriously though, I believe it is called "Podium Green" and is their standard racing colour with the lime green highlights/contrast, and black

Yes, AMG-sourced engine.

Because rich people don't care too look rich they want the most engaging better performance car. Which the 911 is. A poor person that wants to look rich would love to have this becuase it's more "look at me" I have money.

The aston destroys the boring 911 turbo in looks and the very boring 911 beetle turbo destroys the aston in overall performance The 911 is not popular because of the looks (it’s so stupid judging a SPORT car by the looks), it’s popular because the 911 is unmatched in global performance/engineering (acceleration,braking,lateral grip,steering,endurance,…)+ they have space and reliability and when you buy a sport car it’s firstly for the driving capabilities, if not you miss the whole point of a sport car

911 electric steering robs you of all connection to the road and it weighs a bloody ton. Get me a radical sr3 for the track and a Caterham for the Road.

@@CLSTRN911 in this sense you may as well just buy a Lotus then, it beats every car on driving dynamics, the vast majority of people buy what looks best to them, the Vantage has never looked this much better than a 911.. hence why people buying cars in this price bracket will now give the Vantage serious consideration as it blows the 911 out of the water,

@@HANNON1066 yes lotus are also crazy cars, a true raw driving experience but Porsche’s are still faster on the track than a lotus ( I see that you disagree but it’s the reality, Porsche’s (and not necessarily GT3RS’s) are doing better laptimes + they are more reliable and they can handle a whole day of track day better than any other cars + you can still daily it etc,… it’s a global package whereas a lotus for example will be good for one thing but sacrifice all the others stuff Go on a track day or on the nurb, it’s 75% of 911’s 15% of BMW’s, 5% of Renault sport and 5% of lotus (random number) these people didn’t buy a 911 for the looks. not all people are buying a 911 for the performance you are right, a part buy the car for the looks but the big majority of people who want the best car for hard push driving and track day are choosing 911’s And I agree that the aston is beautiful but it’s not 500x time better looking than a 911, a 911 is still good looking, you can personalize it more and it’s more timeless than a vantage At the price of the vantage with options etc you can have a 911 turbo (which is maybe too classic for some people I can understand) but you can also have a GT3 Touring with an exclusive manufaktur interior + a PTS color and it’s one of the most beautiful car you can have

Gorgeous Cars For Sure!

Neither should go on a track, too heavy and soft. Who cares if the turbo S is faster, This AM is waaayy better looking don’t u think? If I wanted the fastest car, I would go McLaren again.

Astons don't depreciate that much anymore you're stuck in the past bro these aren't Ford spare parts anymore these are AMG high tech cars

@@BrainFuck10 what does AMG even mean anymore. Mercedes is making terrible engines these days. Only BMW is making great perfromace and reliable engines.
