Top Gear review of the AM V12 Vantage

Zero Boss · 08-02-2009, 08:05 PM

Incredibly EPIC video and review of the Aston Martin V12 Vantage by Clarkson with a good point excellently put across. BBC is quick to react to copyright infringement so view it immediately as it might soon be taken down.

Very nice, would liked some more prolonged aerial shots though.
Swan song for the exotic.

amgthis · 08-02-2009, 08:23 PM

Not exactly a review, but a great video. No Top Gear lap?

Dre01SS · 08-02-2009, 08:36 PM

Great video indeed - Thanks for sharing!

The Jay Leno interview was epicc

Absolutely beautiful. I only wish we could see a review version wtih a laptime as well. God that car would be the one I'd want out of all of the current Aston Martin cars. Yes, that includes the DBS. I'd take the DBS as 2nd tho and the Vantage V8 Cabriolet as a 3rd choice.

TK-421 · 08-03-2009, 08:56 AM

I'd take this over the DBS, I think. IMO the DBS is underpowered for the way it looks, like the V8 R8.

Year's_End · 08-03-2009, 09:19 AM

I almost want to say this is Aston design perfected. The profile is breathtaking.

It was a good video, but it wasn't a review - extremely dissapointing. Felt like a cop-out.

immiketoo · 08-03-2009, 09:38 AM

Sweet! Does anyone know when we are going to see the new season? I lloked online and cant find anything...

gonzo · 08-03-2009, 10:32 AM

Did it fail US crash tests?

Thought I read that.

Clarkson is depressed...

this video makes me want to go down to the garage and kiss my car and hug it for an hour straight

It truely is a marvel of car designs eh.

I don't think this was intended as a review but more so a nice looking ending to the season. I'm praying we'll see it once again with hamster at the wheel doing a full review on it with a lap from the stig in seaons 14

I've been watching Top Gear from the very beginning, but for a finale that episode was kinda lame. I liked the segments, but just thought they could do more since it was the finale of a very short season.

Oh well. Clarkson does make a point at the end, and it's still the best show around.

rzm3 · 08-03-2009, 10:35 PM

Clarkson didn't actually drive the car. It was done in front of a blue screen. If you look closely the speedometer is at zero. The rest of the footage is from some type of AM promotional video!
