NEW Aston Martin Vantage F1 Edition: Track & Road Review | Carfection 4K 

😂😂😂

nikita can

Fellow fan here and yes he can’t

haaaa

The front view of this car is simply ugly - esotropia @ 2:23

Lol 😆 lol 😆 hilarious.

Shut up, we don't talk about that 😂😂😂

It looks ugly compared to previous gen

Not that there's anything wrong with that

@@kellyr.tourigny6762 I get that but you can't get that out of the car driving back and forth to a bakery.

What.. People buy almost every sportscar for that reason. XD

@@jacejohnson7113 i mean its like porsche its not ment to be the attension seeker but those who see one and know what it is know is a pretty cool car

U like Matures?😉🤣

British accents work like that, they'd tell you slavery was okay to use in monarchy and people would be all in it oh wait

@@einautofan6685 Mature & curvy!

Yes, real journalists not actors.

I would loose my s*** if this happened, especially if the holy Top Gear trio were to join!

@@anydaynow01 Tiff and Henry are level above those three.

Nothing wrong with roadtrips if its Harrys garage style

No! Let’s keep it like it is!

That’s very true lol

Well the Mercedes AMG GTR is still active so they'd be able to regardless.

I agree. I see quite a few grumbles about the styling in the comments but to my eyes the shape and the paint look very sharp, very modern. I think the spoiler even works for this F1 special.

No shit

Blame emission regs for that one :/

He says it in english, actually

@@Marz2695 LMAO

I’ve been trying to think of a clever way to describe how I feel about the interior of this car and you’ve done the work for me. Totally agree.

@@JonTruelove it's a gorgeous car nonetheless

I second that. 😊

fart

I like it and hate it. Both looks stunning but the overhang on the grill throws me off. But legitimately like it.

@James Smith that's right. It doesn't

Looks like someone took their vantage to west coast customs or some naff styling garage Wack on a matte wrap, spoiler and black out bits

They're not

@@graygamingps4503 Well who provides the electronics and drive train? Who is the CEO? What is Daimler's shareholding in AM?

@@uberseehandel They do provide some on the drive trains now but at least they've been fettled with by AM, different turbos different exhaust etc. unlike some other manufacturers. The electronics never come into it for me because literally every performance brand you can mention uses a more mainstream manufacturers electronics. 95% of sports/super cars now are just other cars in a skin. Aston Martin are still designed in the UK, built in the UK and assembled in the UK. Aston Martin even use their own chassis and platform (for how long I don't know) and the only others I can think of that do this are McLaren and Ferrari. Don't get me wrong, as an Aston fan I don't like thay V8 under the bonnet but in the grand scheme of things compared to everyone else they are very much still an Aston Martin in my opinion

@@graygamingps4503 According to Lawrence Stroll, "They'll still be AMG components but bespoke-manufactured in Germany." So not fettled by AM. Time to face up to reality, AM has joined Rolls Royce and Bentley, selling German internals covered by a British frock. This is no bad thing, far from it. Sadly, the largest British owned car company is Morgan now that McLaren is predominantly foreign owned. Incidentally, which mainstream manufacturer supplies McLaren roadcars' electronics?

@@uberseehandel I believe that quote is referring to the new 'bespoke' engines coming in the next few years, not the current one being used in Vantage, DBX and certain DB11's. I'm not getting into an argument with you but I'm an Aston Martin enthusiast and believe me I have done my research. When I get chance today I can tag you in a few articles where it explains what I mean, I know for one the firing order has been changed. Still, they're not even close to being similar to Bentley, Rolls etc. As I said in my first comment, they're built on their own platform in the UK, the vast majority of the car is still AM. The same simply cannot be said about the other two. The days of a car manufacturer being owned by the country is resides in a long gone I'm afraid, shareholders come in all shapes and sizes and come from anywhere on the globe. I'd wager the vast vastajority of manufacturers are 'foreign owner' if we follow thay principle. On the Mclaren comment, I said 'literally every' performance brand uses a mainstream manufacturers electronics, McLaren are cleary the exception here and that's maybe the reason they have so many electrical gremlins

Because optimization costs time and money

I know nothing about F1 but I'd assume Aston or Mercedes have to pay to have their cars there (and they're basically an ad for the company) whereas Ferrari or McLaren are probably winning races so they don't need to?

@@TC-lk2ev mercedes won way more than Ferrari and McLaren in the last couple of seasons. Its not even close. That McLaren and Ferrari build great and fast road cars doesn’t mean they build the best f1 cars. Redbull is a sugar water company but they build a beter f1 cars than road car manufacturers such as Ferrari, McLaren, Renault and Aston martin.

Because its advertising and you don’t want the safety car to be to fast because that defeats the purpose of a safety car in the first place. If they wanted fast lap times they would have used an f1 car as a safety car.

That’s Aston for you

How is that cheating? That’s just clever engineering. Makes the car more stable at high speeds and improves the turning cycle in slow speed corners. Not a gimmick but a big improvement

Wtf?? How do you get the idea that that is cheating??? We have pretty much pushed the performance of current road tires to it's limits with conventional suspension, so now we need to improve handling without putting more load on the tires and that's what rear wheel steering does.

Do you see rear wheel steer in ANY racing series? WEC, IMSA, etc.? It’s a gimmick to cut off seconds on ring laps. It’s a gimmick

@@Braydenplaysallday you are comparing race cars, that only have to compete on a racetrack with streetcars that need to be able to handle multiple scenarios. Rear wheel steering is an attempt to broaden the usable range of a sports car while also providing significant performance enhancements. This is not a gimmick, it is a masterclass of engineering. Your comparison is not really convincing

It’s personal preference, don’t care to convince anyone really. I prefer my sports cars to have natural driving characteristics instead of having to use parlor tricks to help me drive/track a car. Sorry ✌🏻

typical aston

What's wrong with that??

@@obidean3964 Aston Martin is a premium brand that is perfectly capable of making its own engine. I understand that this is the cheaper alternative but it dilutes the marque imho...

It'll be so stiff and harsh driving at low speeds, have to bring a spare set of arms and arse cheeks.

Not really. Just because it has an improved laptime doesn't mean it has to sacrifice comfort. I am pretty sure the Gordon Murray T50 can go around the Nordschleife in 7 minutes, doesn't mean it isn't comfortable

The harshness criticism of Nürburgring developed cars is a perennial misapprehension common amongst British motoring journalists and commentators. Take a race car to the ring, such as the Porsche GT3 Supercup, and the first thing that happens is that suspension is raised, spring rates changed and the car is made "softer". Look at the manufacturers who keep premises and development teams at the Nürburgring, their cars are not all harshly sprung. I wouldn't assume anything.

@@uberseehandel it's a narrow high speed track that favors stiff suspension Not a criticism of the ring..just a reality of what it takes to reduce a cars time on track

@@Meowface. The Nürburgring does not necessarily favour stiff suspension. On more than one occasion, Porsche, having developed a 911GT3 softens the suspension on the subsequent GT3 RS, in order to improve handling, and, inter-alia, lap-times.

These Astons are far from just a Mercedes with a different badge
