Vanquish S Forever ! Timeless design, one of the greatest engine sounds ever, last of handbuilt Aston at Newport Pagnell and only 1086 ever built. This car has a huge road presence. What a sound !!!

would love ferrari still have manual option... 575 looks great even nowadays, awesome style

Great video! I own a manual DB9 V12 and have driven about 10k with it through Europe and the UK. I can highly recommend it and the sound is just awesome (especially through the alps).

I just don’t know which one I would rather have , I would imagine the Ferrari would be a better drive but ...the Aston has that special something you can’t quite put your finger on It also sounds incredible, I think I’ve made my mind up , I’d take the Aston 👍🏻

The vanquish looks so much better it's stunning

I love my 575. I've had it for 6 years and will never sell it. Even with the F1 shift it's so easy to drive..in town it makes traffic driving easy and on the attack on the mountains the changes are plenty fast enough. Faster than I could shift gears in my 355. I always use the paddles, never the auto setting. The car is great on long journeys and tremendous in the twisties. It's a hidden gem.

I just think that Vanquish S looks amazing 🤤😍

Great review! Made my Good Friday morning watching this in isolation.

As a British kid born in the early 60's,and a OO7 fan,I had to buy an Aston Martin,so I did. 👍.

Both cars are fantastic. Totally shocked the 575s are as low as 60ks these days. One sold at auction yesterday for £61k and the one Damon Hill tested on topgear is currently for sale at £59k....bloody nuts😳 But I suppose collapsing the economy will do that🙄 Great video thank you.🤗

Just found your channel by searching 575m manual. Well done sir. Subscribed

Thank you for this video, these were two dream cars when I was young, and the Vanquish still is. So beautiful it's almost perfect !

Manual Vanquish S, every time. That said, 550 is the best value of these Ferrari's imo.

Like JWW but civilized and better audio. My one requested would be make the video longer. 😁

GOOD WORK. Lots of driving video, sound, great scenery while avoiding choppy editing and too loud music. Comparisons really help reveal differences, please make more. Go back prior versions and models, so 575 without handling pack (thus less bouncy), 550, 456, vs Astons and even some of the Jags despite their auto only configurations.

I'd love to own a straight piped 550 someday, Ferrari V12s are something special and they need to be celebrated. Aston,well that's the best of British muscle. It's great to see Aston Martin Works put in the effort to install the gearbox Vanquish always deserved.

I would pick the Aston... such an incredible looking thing.

Excellent review. Can actually hear the speech which helps. Subscribed!

Fantastic. Imagine an open gated manual ENZO. That would be awesome. I wonder if any were built for the Sultan of Brunei....... 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

The Vanquish was made when Ford still owned Aston. The 5.9L V12 it used was essentially two Ford Duratec V6s welded together

Very good video - well done

Great video. Love them both. I'd have the 575 in Tour de France blue and the Vanquish S in British Racing Green.

Driven a manual and paddle vanquish and on an open road preferred the paddle version. In town and parking, might be a different choice..... The paddle change needs careful setting up to work at it's best, but if you lift throttle slightly on up changes, you don't get the lunging effect, just reasonably quick, smooth changes. Thank you for the video scd.

Two of my favorite dream cars. I love them both equally. Thanks.

Great review!

Shall we talk about looks? That alone would give the Aston my vote. Couple that with the sound, the cachet of the Aston brand and the better chassis. I'd save 100k and be far happier with the Aston. Great video

Another great video, thanks! 575M for me.

Both timeless cars

Ferrari for me ,especially with that gated manual,love the click it makes with every shift😊

Well balanced and perceptive review; but forgive me, the paddle shift on the S is far from “woeful”. Having driven one for several years, I can say all it needs is just a little patience to realise the sound of the engine tells you when to change up or down best, and to treat the change as if it were a manual one. Once mastered its fine! Sadly few reviewers knew this, so the false heresy of an appalling Vanquish S gearbox was born. Loved your vid anyway and of course subscribed; thank you.

Vanquish....soon beautiful and awesome noise

Just like the old comparison with Jeremy Clarkson and Damon Hill! Great video

I would take the Ferrari that gator shift , moving that must feel so good

This reminds me of that Top Gear episode, but with the crappier gearboxes replaced with manuals

Ferrari 550 is may favorite front engined ferrari but damn that Aston Martin vanquish is so much more beautiful

Awesome content👌🏻

At the time I thought the Vanquish looked nicer but 20 years later I actually think the 575M has aged better. I loved this generation of Aston's styling but the DB9 and V8 Vantage were the real lookers in the range. The Vanquish isn't bad looking at all but from certain angles it looks a bit awkward. The way the rear quarter panel meets the doors for example almost looks like two different cars stuck together. Wouldn't complain to have either to be honest but a manual 575M would be my choice

3:42 that transition is cool as hell

For a GT car and been both launched not too far apart, I gotta give this to Aston Martin. It looks better and more cohesive. I love Ferrari, but the 575m was just a refreshed 550 Maranello and it seems out of place next to the Vanquish

More like this please!

this feels like an homage to the Top Gear piece with Damon Hill...

😍 Oh that 575 though! 😍 Nice one Matt.

Ah, the good ol’ days of the timeless big engine out front rwd manual

This recipe is perfect for me. I will miss it.

Nice one.

Imagine just one instant a 812 and a d11 with manuals today?!!! 🙊🔞

Love the 575M

Remember when top gear did these two. Jezza n Steve looked like they had good fun.

Manual 550/575 has been a dream car since i was growing up

Make more cars like that manufacturers! No more turbo and hibrid shit

The 575m is timeless and georgeous. One of my favorite ferrari designs. The vanquish is so masculine, handsome and suave. I feel like i would rather own the 575, but rather drive and daily the vanquish, kinda wierd

Ferrari, simply the best. Awesome video 👏🏻

I’d like to see a c6 z06 in this comparison

If I'd be in a market for a "horse" I'd be probably looking for a 430 Scuderia or 458. In a grand tourer field I'd definitely take the Aston. It has so much more coolness and elegance than the ostentatious Ferrari... Even though 575 in a gray or blue paint would be also sweet...

That 575 also has the HGTC package.

This is why I bought a 550. Half the price of a manual 575 and 99.9% of the car.

Love both cars, both are gorgeous, both have aged well, both have their own charm. The Vanquish sounds monumental while the Ferrari looks slightly better, more sporty. If I had to pick one, I'd take the 575M.

Is 3:10 just before you get to middle rasen?😂

Never been a fan of the 575 styling, I much prefer the 550 with its smiling front end. As for the Vanquish, it definitely should have manual gearbox as standard since day one.

Two beautiful cars...I'd take a DBS Superleggera over an 812 in terms of design, but in older cars, Italy wins! 550/575 is to me the best looking front engined Ferrari! #SaveTheManuals!

Well done! Ive had both the Vanquish and the 550 ,while the 550 or 575 in this case looks dated to its time period but its still more nimble and was born with the stick shift . I love the Vanquish , its character and charm, but its a Grand Tourer these days. The Aston turns the heads of all, the Ferrari to some, both great cars.gtjoey1314

Question is: manual Vanquish S or *550* Maranello?!

Is it me or does that 575 have a huge front bumper-bonnet panel gap?

Among every iteration of Ferrari vs Aston Martin V12 GT, this was an easy pick for the Vanquish. The 575 looks a bit boring and the V12 in Vanquish just sounds so much better.

I love the two cars, but the 575 is another level of performance and beauty, the British insist on comparing the AMs as if they were at the same level of performance and are not even close, in the queisot beauty is relative according to the taste of each person, but Ferrari performance is one step up! But I still prefer the Ferrari 550 over the 575, although the differences are small in design and the 575 is a better car, I think the 550 is much more beautiful! Great content!!

Ferrari 575 plus an aftermarket exhaust, jobs a good un

Can I take the 575 but in blue with magnolia hide please.. And. . . . The Aston with a baseball glove interior.

I still don't understand why Ferrari won't build limited numbers of some of their cars with manuals. They could charge whatever they wanted and people will pay.

calum version of vanquish is better

This is an amazing FERRARI...

Love the Aston but my transit van has a better interior

The front of 575 M looks like a Supra.

I drove a manual 575 and fell in love. I can't stomach the premium for the manual box though so I'm on the hunt for a 550. The best exhaust you can put on one of these is made by an enthusiast engineer owner in Italy - Fabio. It then does sound like something special. www.fiammenghiengineering.it/index-en.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jNGCiM6AmLGchGQ.html&feature=emb_rel_end

I would chose the 575M

I sold the 575 back to JCT600 in Leeds a few years ago during my divorce when my wife stood on the doorstep demanding to know 'where her Ferrari was' one of my bigger mistakes....

9 9 3

Ferrari could do with a Tubi..ha yes, the driver noticed

Only Britain bias person would choose the Aston. That interior would not look out of place in Volvo.

You could have F1 also on the 550

Just get a manual DBS instead of the Vanquish. Better in every way!

super GT

The Aston looks dull in comparison, plus I'd bet it's not that reliable.

Ferrari

Aston is the looker. The Ferrari definitely not.

Vanquish sounds better and looks better🤩...but the interior🤮

has anyone seen any ugly v12 ferrari? never.
