Was thinking the same way, yes, it is stunner from every angle outside, but wait with the judgement until Doug opens the door. Oops... Check out Chiron interior, same price tag
@@SkodaYetiFan I agree the pricing on this one is just ridiculous. I guess they charging this much because it's one-off limited edition and because they can.
@@SkodaYetiFan Well, it's true for every other ultra-luxury brand.The pricing on their products and real value does not corelate. They stick whatever price tag they want, rich people will buy it anyway no matter the price.
2030 Doug: THIS is an Aston Martin Vanquish Zagato Shooting Brake... and I can't believe I'm saying this, but it's MY Aston Martin Vanquish Zagato Shooting Brake.
@@ramrodson5461 Nah man it's a limited zagato piece this thing will be at the very least 500k in a decade. If the Lagonda Taraf is still worth a million this isn't going anywhere. If it was a regular vanquish, sure.
When Doug mentioned the horn switches on the steering wheel, I realised he never shows us what the horns sound like anymore. :/ It was silly but I liked it. Lol.
I'll never understand why there aren't more shooting brakes made, it's the perfect layout for most people, useful but still fun and they look fantastic.
@@HunterJs2 It doesnt meant they have all to be hypercars. We could have had GR86 shooting brakes or MX-5 shooting brakes. It would make GR86 into a perfect daily and make MX-5 livable. Closest cars we had to that was Hyundai Veloster and VW Scirocco, but both are far taller and not exactly coupe like as GR86 and definetly like MX-5.
It might be largest in sales. The dealership on Greenwich Ct though not large is more beautiful and a bit larger. Old world looking and made of stone from what I remember. Nope. Just looked it up. It’s a new building now. It looks like a much larger version of this one on two floors. Makes this look like a fast food joint. It’s named Miller Motors. I’m in Palm Beach now. Our Aston dealership is shared with Jaguar and puts this to shame too.
@@yogeshp8542 go away. I doubt you’re a psychologist. It was just a comparison. No one said anything about jealousy. You’re not qualified to psychoanalyze
I’m not sure they can! For such a rare car, a lot of them were available for purchase, with initial buyers backing out. I think one local to me sat on the lot for the better part of a year.
Why people think manufactures can make a car that will be worth millions in the Future ? If that was the case they would keep it and have 10 million in future it’s regular car and in the future if it becomes classic then be it it’s by luck same as other old classic cars when they were sold in the 60s or 70s nobody knew it would be millions now and back then 50000$ this will be only rare 30 years from now it’s not guaranteed either it all depends on what comes out what happens next what cars will come out there is many factors before it comes classic and this 100% won’t be classic and if it does will get 30 years from now if someone kept it in shape but manufactures don’t make cares to be classic and worth millions in the future nobody can actually know that because then someone who works there would buy it keep it they make it to sell what happens later nobody got control over
@@Evan-memo so if 50% of them won't sell and aston Martin keeps them for 20 years and sells them for 10 million each then, the jokes on u. You can't predict things with your narrow mind you need to broaden your scope
@@Thebrothaisback This is the case behind everything, not just oil. You have to get profits from something to be a billionaire once. If you won the lottery there's other people's money behind your fortune.
I know I'm a bit late, but I really don't like the taillights. Special and unique but I would love a more traditional or simplified design. Otherwise, I'd sell my organs for the chance to own one
This is so much better looking than the Lagonda Taraf though. But yeah either way it's half a million too expensive, even being so exclusive. 400k is much more understandable.
One of the few zagatos that's not insanely hideous. Zagato is the worst major design house imo. Most of their creations look far worse than the donor car.
@@akshayy_xd Like I said, Zagato is a terrible design house. Their entire job is to essentially make good looking cars, but every design they tweak comes out looking uglier than the original.
Who actually uses the glovebox anyway on cars it sits far too far away and is opened maybe once a year to see all that useless crap you forgot is still in there
His pockets aren't quite that deep I don't think. But more so Doug is way too practical to own one of these. As freaking lovely as it is, it's too nice and too rare to be used as it should be, and thus I couldn't see Doug buying one. Even if he could swing it.
I actually have a similar problem in my Toyota Paseo. The two handles for the fuel door and the tailgate are under the left side of the front seat. The tailgate is in front, the fuel door is right behind it. Although I know this sometimes I still open the fuel door instead of the tailgate.
Costs about as much as one also...and still wondering how the dealership allows someone dressed like this in one of their cars....he looks more like someone delivering tires for this car...
When you’re shopping for an Aston you don’t really care about price. To me I don’t complain about it, I strive and grind to maybe one day be able to financially afford one.
I think Aston could write a book on how to make an interior dull. Ferrari has been killing it for 10 years now on their interiors and they make so many different models compared to Aston. Aston is on fumes...
Glad someone said it, the exterior is incredible, looks worth the million dollars. The interior looks like it's out of a 2000 semi luxury car. With that interior its definitely not worth the million
@@jefffaller8474 Can you imagine using a 5 year old Mercedes infotainment on a million $ car? Even if I had the money I wouldn't buy this car. At this point Aston needs to heavily improve their exterior. The DBX interior is pretty nice.
sidenote: The reason that it is so expensive is that they had to recrash the car for several reasons, as doug mentioned the car has a "new" chassis with the rear subframe out of the rapide. And secondly the designers did not want many cut lines in the body, so the roof and rear quarter panel, and half of the rear bumper(look at the surrounding of the rear tail light) are made with one sheet of carbon with no cuts. it might look like there is a cut between the quarter panel and the roof, but the line is molded in the carbon, making it the largest carbon fiber piece ever produced. and because carbon fiber has specific directional strength, they had to glue several carbon fiber layers in cross pattern which resulted in a much stronger panel than the original. so the car was crash tested again, Aston never revealed how many cars had to be crashed but usually it takes a minimum of 6 cars, that’s if you rebuild the cars in between the crashes which is possible only if the main crash structure has 0 damage. or around 18-22 cars if you do not rebuild them. And don’t forget that this car has the engine out of the vantage gt12, essentially a gt3 engine made to handle the 24 hours of le mans, that means titanium inlet valves, Inconel exhaust valves, titanium valve retainers, titanium rods and a custom magnesium inlet manifold and titanium exhaust manifold. Second sidenote: if you ever wondered why manufactures charge more for naked carbon parts than panels with body paint even though both are carbon, it’s because naked carbon has really bad reflective properties and can therefore get extremely hot under some light sunshine. so, if you use normal clearcoat over bear carbon the clearcoat will peel in just a few years. Hence the manufactures must use a special kind of clearcoat that unfortunately is sold by some 3rd party company, I remember that Chevrolet said that they paid 15k+ per gallon when making the c6 z06.
Yeah someone made a reaaaaally big oopsie there for sure. It seems like that should be clear coated or something though, since that would happen with age anyway... If the owners ever drove it that is.
@@brom0sapien Yeah, if it’s a nice, metal plaque with the names and signatures of the people that designed and hand built the car or something like that, it’s one thing. But the CEO’s signature in sharpie seems a little silly to me. I guess it’s supposed to make you feel like you’re getting something extra special for your $1 mill. 🤷🏻♂️
The whole time he was driving I was like “ARE WE NOT GOING TO ADDRESS THAT TONE???” and then I had to scroll down quite a way to find your comment about it. I’m so confused right now.
Yeah, that's a half million dollar car, not nearly a million. Aston Martin has a history of over pricing their cars. If every car in its class is $100,000, the competitive Aston Martin is $250,000. They do it all the time. That's why they only made 99, not because of exclusivity, but because they are only confident they can sell 99 of them...
@@jackscott6393 ok 1) that profile picture is from 3 years ago 2) I’m not reviewing a $919,000 car 3) I’m not criticizing Doug 4) I don’t know how to change my picture 5) that’s a damn filter 6) it’s a freaking joke jeez
That's how most Aston Martin's are, overpriced crap. AM is absolutely overrated. Some people just have so much money that they would rather waste them on AM and let them continue producing overpriced garbage. With that said, I still like AM's exterior design and their v12 engine sound. Everything else apart from those aren't worth it.
yea, this car's interior absolute garbage, from the steering wheel, to the windosw switches being right beside other switches, to the horn placement... just ewe.
@@xxblade.2272 Vast majority are sold to the middle east. Create something limited, price it at least 6 figures and it will sell there regardless of quality
He has a passenger and they don't have their belt on. With expensive cars like this reviewers need someone from the dealership to ride with them for insurance purposes. You can see that at 23:06 in the video
Doug: thanks to the dealer for letting me review and drive this Aston Martin Dealer: OK Doug hand over the missing roadside tools from the trunk compartment.
Don't forget they are charging so much because they will make so few. These cars are not vehicles, they are investments, and their purpose is not to carry people, but to hold or rise in value. It's a safer investment than stocks, that's for sure. And you have 919.000.000$ safe from losing value from inflation. If you see it that way, it is a very sensible thing to put your money on
its there , seat belt warning on passenger side maybe .If there is anything left on the seat ,the car will sense it and tell you to put on your seat belt .
@@jessearroyo93 Not only this but I have to be warned with a constant chime when the TPMS malfunctions, which it most certainly will early in the cars life? In a million dollar car? 🤔

@@hellothere1056 Do they hold their value as well as every other aston martin product, Doug had a vanquish before he was even well known because they depreciate so horribly
Doug, we would love to see short 5 minute videos called CarsandBids specials. The cars you show during your bit about the auction at the beginning of every video, are intriguing to say the least. 🙏🙏
Aston Martins always look incredible on the outside but every time we see the interior... it looks awful and outdated. My Mazda 3 interior looks better
@@Chris-zi4mo I mean if anything this should be the ONE example that would prove Aston Martin can make a decent interior for almost A MILLION DOLLARS. It looks like the same interior in all models Doug has covered as well in recent videos.
Doug also made a video on the Aston Martin Lagonda Taraf, wich is also around a million dollars if I remeber correctly, and its pretty much the same problem. Incredible exterior but awful interior.
@@sebdreiundsiebzig627 exactly! I love how they look and how they perform and they really are BEAUTIFUL cars. However the interiors are suitable for cars from 10 years ago, not a million dollar car from 2020.
@JJCHCH You post complete and utter rubbish. Hand built cars are expensive. Fact. US car manufacturers cannot, under any circumstances build vehicles comparable with Aston Martin. Fact. The engine in the Vanquish is a 6.0L Naturally Aspirated V12, producing a staggering 580 horsepower and a 0-62mph time of just 3.5 seconds. No US car maker produces a V12 engine nor does it produce engines built to the same tolerances as the AM V12. The most expensive US made car is the Hennesey Venom GT ($1.1 million) and that is based on a British Lotus Exige with a US V8 stuffed in it. Value for money?............ I think not.
@@colintawn3535 I completely agree with you but just a little correction: the most expensive us built car is the Czinger 21C which is 1.7m~ still overpriced (Also if you count auctions, the most expensive car is the 2019 Ford GT Heritage for 2.5m)
@@colintawn3535 When the fuck did I mention American cars? Compare the Vanquish Zagato Shooting Brake to the Ferrari GTC4Lusso and the Lagonda Taraf to pretty much any Rolls Royce or Bentley sedan and its pretty clear both Aston Martin's are very overpriced.
Exactly, I understand at this price point money is not a factor, but if anyone thinks this car is worth a million is crazy, I don't care how rare it is...
