Wow! The second-generation Aston Martin Vanquish is a thrilling British performance that boasts a raucous V12 that's as potent as it is melodious. This particular Vanquish is a drop-top Volante model that shows just 24,900 miles on the odometer and comes finished in stunning Rossa Corsa over Sahara Tan. It also features carbon ceramic brakes, quilted leather upholstery, a Bang & Olufsen sound system, and upgraded 20-inch HRE wheels, which complete the look.

Timeless design. And one of last great V12 to ever exist.

@bwofficial1776 5 ай бұрын

2000s-early 2010s Aston Martin was peak Aston Martin. Such timeless designs with great driving experiences. The newer ones, while technically superior, just don't have that secret agent suavity about them.

2 small corrections, Kennan (I am a super geek!): 2014 vanquish has the (slow) 6-speed auto whereas 2015-2018 get the (oh so much better) ubiquitous 8-speed. Also the DBS superleggera had an Aston V12 5.2 biturbo (not a Mercedes v12) ..in any case, love your videos. I hope sometimes in the future u get the chance to drive the final VH NA v12, the incredible 2019 Rapide AMR. I’d love to c a video on that rare beast

15:35 the turbo V12 that replaced this one was made by Aston Martin as well, it was only the optional V8 that was a Mercedes AMG engine

Dear Kennan, there is a lot of improvement in the way you create these videos. Im a big fan of Dougs reviews, now I also enjoy your style of dealing with it, I also like the nerdy technical details. Im looking forward to the next videos to enjoy, nicely done Kennan, greetings from Amsterdam! 🍒🍒🍒

Hey, Kennan's gotten a lot better at this since the last time I watched him! And it doesn't sound like Doug wrote the script for this one either.

@marcushurt 5 ай бұрын

Wait, hasn’t everyone else who has been reviewing Aston Martin’s said that the twin turbo V12 is NOT a Mercedes engine… I’ve heard so many others say it is an Aston Martin creation. We all know 4.0 V8 is an AMG product… but not the 5.2 V12 tt

This gen of Vanquish is actually a good deal. NA V12, best looking era of modern Astons; Cost over $300,000 new with some options, not that long ago. Can get one with low mileage for $150,000 these days. Beat that.

Hi Kennan, nice one this week. Absolutely gorgeus design this one but what I never understood is how AM could use the crappy Ford bits for the turning lights or the terrible aftermarket screens for the infotainment and gps. Look at the seats, leather, stitching.... I never got those stupid things. Anyway you always will have the V12 roar. Anyway thanks for another good one and much love from West Spain as always 😊

@lawrencefearon6830 5 ай бұрын

Superb production value. Well researched down to the mechanical history. I feel like the "Best For Grand Tours" crown belongs on the R230 gen SL65 AMG Roadster. Mercedes just gives more for $100k less with more advanced technology in quicker road weapon.

@Midg-td3ty 5 ай бұрын

Yes that was my immediate thought. The SL65 R230 is amazing and that V12 Biturbo pulls differently than the Aston Martin V12s. But this is still super nice.

@lawrencefearon6830 5 ай бұрын

@@Midg-td3ty Indeed the Vanquish is beautifully crafted. But the SL65 is that 738ft/lbs of torque monster armed with a fully active suspension, glass convertible roof and a 3.7 second 0-60 on outdated OEM Pirelli PZeros. Looked like a bargain at $200k.

@kellingtonlink956 5 ай бұрын

Breathtaking. Absolutely gorgeous! To achieve their 50/50 balance, I think Aston Martin should have considered heavier tyres and rims on the rear (for ‘unsprung’ weight’) and played around with stronger/heavier support beams (sprung weight) or… a stronger (heavier) and more reliable rear transmission. But everything else??… perfect. Especially THAT engine with it’s unmistakable exhaust note. Thanks for the video.

It's RWD. You really think an exotic would ever be FWD? That's like being the tallest midget.

It's RWD. I think the only AWD Aston is the DBX. No FWD models as far as I know, or at least not recently (nobody mention the Cygnet!!!)

Driving an Aston is like cloaking yourself in a well tailored suit - You wear the car and feel it's beauty. You might be overtaken by a Tesla, but they're just 'Riff Raff' on the road to nowhere... 🤓 🇬🇧

I owned a DB9 Volante, which share some its architecture and all of its technology with the Vanquish. Biggest POS on 4 wheels. Such a shame. BTW - @ 9:42. Not entirely true. Many of the engine's internals (including the valves) are straight from the Ford parts-bin :-(
