CAR magazine’s Ben Barry is your guide to the new Aston Martin Vantage. Once again, it’s a rear-wheel drive, front-engine layout but there’s been significant updates to the chassis and cabin plus even more power from the AMG-sourced powerplant. Watch the find to find out how it fares on both road and track.

These dry weights from manufacturers need to stop. I don’t go to the doctor and tell them my weight without blood in my body. Car weight should always be with the required fluids for operation. A car without fluids is not a car, it’s a paperweight
@stanmarks3950 15 күн бұрын
Spot on, and it is heavy as well as let down when really pushed hard by its torque converter gearbox. It's frigging pretty to look at, not sure if that is enough in this price bracket.

All the stupid rules the EU make with cars, yet they let them give the weight without any fluids, so it’s not drivable, utterly ridiculous, needs to stop !!!

All car review channels should do what Harry Metcalfe / Mark McCain does - weigh the cars with fluids. Many manufacturers aren’t exactly truthful even with dry weights. Saying that, epic car. I’d have that over a 911 turbo S any day and sod the depreciation. First Aston I’ve liked since db9 / original v8 vantage

The AMG GT is no serious sports car anymore, more a GT. The Vantage on the other hand has become a serious sports car (super sport) while remaining GT comfort and luxury.

Glad they raised the BHP, 527 not enough 🙄 tyres said S5 not 5S !! Surely it’s a sports car not a race car, most speed limits throughout the EU and U.K. around 70-80 mph, how many Aston drivers go on track days ? 5K a year, just seems pointless going sideways round a track, which isn’t easy to do, a beautiful sports car for enjoyable road use and long trips, boot lip looks wrong a pity as a lovely car.

RIP V12 Vantage, If I was in the market for a 300k $ Sports Car, i would buy a 911 GT3 Manual, then a 911 Turbo & lastly this new gen Vantage. Not a bad company of cars ehhh, Astons have more character compared to its German & Italian cousins. M Cars or the new AMG GT's aren't quite appealing anymore. Compared to 2014 or 2004. Now bring back 320 (10x wins )of them with a V12 & name them Fernando Alonso Edition.

@@uGotGot1618 He's not. This "Giant Mouth Bass" look is really getting old. The back end isn't terrible (probably the best part), but even that is too fiddly, and overcomplicated. The V8 Vantage that was released after the DB9 was peak modern Vantage. Although, I wouldn't kick a 60's Aston V8 Vantage out of bed for eating crackers (so to speak...lol) either. I am really hoping this giant grill trend (started in the Chinese market) dies soon. So many cars have been ruined by these hideously massive front grills, and it's been going on for way too long now.

It’s extremely stereotypical of car reviewers, especially older ones, to be violently hostile to sustainability or environmental concerns, even at a time like this when climate change is obvious. Even Clarkson, in his Farming series (s03, e04) admits the climate is changing. I understand that those in their 50s+ were born and raised during a time of excess, with 0 regard for the future, but you’re crapping on the future for young people.

Oh please, the climate has been changing for 4 BILLION years. For the last MILLION years, the earth has had regular temperature changes every 100,000 years and we are in right where we would expect to be if you look at the temp histories. Look at the SCALE used on any of the recent graphs used to highlight "climate change". They show you this HUGE temperature increase...but it's a minimal increase, the scale of the graph is in TENTHS of a degree. Over the last 500 years the mean temperature of the planet has gone up a little over ONE degree Celsius ....ONE
