Aston Martin's Vantage is back with a bang. The new coupe has some 656bhp these days and some spectacular dynamics which we've already admired in a single-car video. But now the new model faces its toughest test yet, as it goes up against the Ferrari Roma and the Porsche 911 Turbo S.
The three cars are closely matched in ethos, performance and price. Join Matt Prior for the verdict. Find full specifications for them all below.

Don’t understand the obsession with track testing cars, much rather a sensible road test, probably just a nice day out for the journalists

@F1ll1nTh3Blanks Час назад

Are you really in the market for these kinds of cars if you don't plan to take them to a track or somewhere where you can properly unleash them at least on the odd occasion?

@bcraftin7846 22 минуты назад

I respect how you feel but we tune in with these high-performing exotic cars to see what they handle like….What’s the 0 to 60…how they feel on the track? They are sports cars right? Let’s see some f***king sports!!! Autocar always test the proper cars, but they never test them in the proper manner. That’s just my opinion. Boring!!!

100%. I have never tracked a car and have only been on one driving experience on a track. Pointless for 95% of drivers.

@paultucker1272 3 часа назад

Normally a car with looks as beautiful as the Roma would be enough for it to be my pick........but the Aston Martin looks even better externally AND internally and that engine note is glorious. So, the Vantage for me please!

@Drifty325i 4 часа назад

Aston looks the best for sure, engine note is best too. Roma is a stunner. All so close, obviously we know it’s hard to beat the Porsche. Hard choice!

The depreciation on a 2 year old Roma (120-130k with good options) with the complimentary 7 year free servicing makes it a no brainer compared to the rest

@oliverprice7039 2 часа назад

Second hand you could potentially pick up a DBS for similar, that's an interesting comparison as that's an older, but hugely characterful 700bhp supercar v a roma, both designed for longtrips. That's a tough one!

Excellent, entertaining assessment of three of the most desirable sports cars around. I first came to notice Matt Prior when he tested the 991.2 Carrera 4 GTS, all of 7 years ago. If you're on this side of the pond, indeed any side, IMHO nobody does it better and my heart is sold on Stuttgart.

AND THIS IS HOW YOU MAKE A PROPER PRESENTATION.... Congratulations Matt. You - both you and AUTOCAR - have come to be the go-to British car magazine when someone really wants to get some information without worrying about you being biased. Especially when a British car is in the comparison. Congrats again

@mgmarrison Час назад

600+ horsepower is too much to be enjoyed on UK roads. The sections where Matt put his foot down (up to the speed limit) just demonstrate that. I’d have an original 4.3ltr Vantage (and pocket the change 😅)

@JamesDare-w9l Час назад

Never understand when it's a cheap option people don't get the air intakes colour coded on the turbo. It makes it look so much better

@Big_Bruh 51 минуту назад

Almost 130 years is impressive and no small feat, but to think that Mercedes has been around longer and still thriving is insane🤯

@MrOrtmeier 2 часа назад

Fantastic test. Thank you. Three great cars. The Aston wins on looks, for me, and you can’t go wrong with a Mercedes engine. The interior also looks very comfortable. They’ve done a great job. Ferrari is the drivers car but I hate huge screens in cars. And the Porsche is perfect. Beautiful design, fast, durable engine, thumping performance and probably best build quality. Best interior as well.. My preference would be: Porsche, Aston Martin and third Roma.

@MRVSKIN 4 часа назад

In top spot for me. It’s the Aston Martin. In a close second is the Turbo S and then Last is the Roma. Its infotainment is an absolute nightmare and styling just does not hit the spot at all. Yes its elegant but its not beautiful

@johnnyboy1586 3 часа назад

Would love to test drive all three cars,then pick,but as for looks ,aston all the way😊

@IanMacLeansnv 31 минуту назад

I watch a lot of car videos and I am still baffled by the question of Two Wheel versus four-wheel drive. "Not necessarily more grip but more traction." What the hell!?!? I would have thought I would have seen track day tests between four versus two for Porsche, BMW, Mercedes, Etc. The four-wheel drive adds weight but gives better traction, how does this play out in laptimes? I have no idea, and I watch a lot of car videos.

@PutSomeDsonThatBlink 3 часа назад

If you're looking used, what about a GT4Lusso or even an F12? Are these cars better?

@oliverprice7039 2 часа назад

Or a DBS SUPERLEGGERA! 130K. Pretty compelling at that price

@PutSomeDsonThatBlink 2 часа назад

@@oliverprice7039 Judging by the reviews they are pretty underwhelming, but they fixed it with the Ultimate edition. If I ever have the budget I'll go drive them all.

@oliverprice7039 2 часа назад

@PutSomeDsonThatBlink think you have to know what it is when driving it, it's an event, it's not a daily, it's to go on tour with and feel special. Not for track or to go to the office. For that purpose I think it probably is about perfect. I have driven the DB11 V12 which was a good tourer and a V8 AMR, which had a bit more oomph, put them together and add better looks and more power... I think for that it would be epic! I might still take a Roma, though! If I was paying

I am so glad the Aston employs symmetrical diameter wheels. I really dislike staggered diameter on the 911 Turbo. Some cars make it work, but it looks awful on the Porsche.

interesting wheel choice on the Porsche - normally they are on 29" and ride horribly. It looks like Porsche GB have wound them back to something sensible

@johnsim3722 2 часа назад

As a historic Aston fan and hater of Porsche I'd have the Roma (best Aston they've never done) then the 911, which I think really looks good now. But never the Aston. That Aston is a mess of designs, better than the pre-facelift, but come on? How many attempts does it take for Marek Reichman to produce an Aston that people think is "ok"? Nowhere near the talent of Callum or Fisker.

You're just about the only one who thinks the Aston is not gorgeous. Maybe you might be wrong?

@johnsim3722 45 минут назад

@St_McC_Sloth 3 часа назад

I do like the Roma (it’s also my Grans name!) but I’m glad you didn’t get it from Ferrari, they would’ve simply tuned their example before they gave it to you. But I don’t think I’d choose it over the Aston… I don’t like the interior & I think the rear is a bit bland, but it’s tanked in value & you can get virtually new ones (unsold) for ~£140k Porsche is undoubtedly the most practical & reliable though, if you were looking for speed every day, it’s the one to have! But I don’t think I could look past the Aston! I love the noise & styling, finally the interior is also the best in my opinion.

Drove the Roma and New Vantage , Vantage all day long, better looking inside and out, feels more special to drive. Roma is a good car but not special at all and interior quality is terrible
