One of the best looking cars in production this, absolutely stunning. I love it. I don’t care how many compromises you would have to make with the somewhat dated interior etc…it looks incredible!
Honestly, no. It's bloater, it looks like it swallowed a V8 Vantage. It's not an ugly car, but it's most certainly nowhere near the timeless beauty of the previous gen DBS or the 2012-2018 Vanquish
Indeed. Where Aston has gone with class and integrity and 'the best we can be' , BMW has just gone gaudy, vulgar, and basically given up trying to lead by example.
...not more than a couple of weeks ago, some guy has parked his DB11 convertible right in front of my house to have his coffee in the neighborhood coffeeshop on a lazy saturday morning here in Germany and everybody from old and young ..girls and boys..just stopped whereever they were going and just stood there to watch it...while this guy sipping his coffee and watching it from a distance like a proud father..lol.
Aston does some incredible bodywork. I saw a few Astons in person while in Scotland a few years ago. Collectively I’m convinced that they’re the most beautiful cars made (exterior).
Remember the first time I watched that review with the beautiful music in the background and cinematography. The fact that Jeremy was so wistful that he hardly said much spoke volumes. Miss those three dearly (thank goodness for the Grand Tour!)
@@bradsn8 The Aston Martin 177's were sold out as well and now the few who got one who inturn want to sell their's can't get half of what they paid for it in a re-sale! Mind you, this can be said for pretty much any limited edition automobile!
I know absolutely every reviewer points out the interior, mainly the centre bit and the screen. However, all ive seen of late from other manufacturers that are supposedly more "modern" is the heavy use of double screens. As someone who has had vehicles that rely on screens I must say they dont work, its clunky and not as good as a physical button in the slightest. Yes the stick on screen doesnt look good, but in no way would removing the centre console make it better.
Whoever the designer has been at Aston Martin for the past few years deserves a bonus, so many winners. They're turning out much more beautiful and maturely designed cars than the other manufacturers right now.
Somehow this video reminds me of Clarkson’s review of AM Vantage.. they should have played “an ending” at the end of the video… what an absolute beauty of a car!!
Thanks for the review! Something: I don't understand the obsession for Apple Car Play and Android Auto. Last time I checked, you had to avoid distractions while driving. A bluetooth connection for calls and music is more than enough. Texts, Tik Tok, FB and Insta shouldn't be allowed while driving.
@@spideyfanw1748 It isn't. The new DBS and or new limited Astons will still come with V12, just not the Vantage or DB, the DB may still have a V12 coming but it won't be a standard model anymore.
11:36 I think that the question that Aston Martin is going to have to ask is this: Does the world still need a "Brute in a suit"? Maybe, maybe not.... I am curious at the answer that they will have because they will only get two shorts (as most) at that question. I don't know the answer to that because simply put, they want more. Putting out the SUV is a sign of that, and they have already begun to hint at some far off EV coupe... assuming they have that much runway. They got the looks, but what else?
Apple Car Play is a $4219 option on a new Ferrari SF90 Spider. Apple Car Play on most exotic cars is a cost option and it’s a high one on top of that compared to what it is on Ford or Honda
Those alloys are growing on me, will Aston sell them individually? Love the ones I’ve ordered but might be an idea to order these and store them if they’re available.
Having owned the Aston Martin with the AMG 4.0 Twin Turbo V8… I have to say the rear end diffusers of the recent Aston’s are menacing. The rear end of this DBS is less menacing which is unfortunate. A bit soft.
5:15 - Why not design seat bolsters that automatically retract whenever you open the door? @astonmartin The same way the window slightly retracts whenever you open the door, then slides back into place when you close the door.
No one will miss the Mercedes joystick electronics. Aston Martin finally put some thought into it with the new DB12 that just debuted, but I will miss the V12, that's for sure.
They always look the same... But, this is really beautiful... It seems to have better lines and sexier shoulders... Love the front end, and those wheels are incredible.
Astons are such masterpieces of design. Sad they use AMG crap in the interior & the wack hot V8T they recycle into everything. Jaguar & Aston are the last artful cars

I urge everyone to watch "World’s Greatest Drag Race 9!!!" starting at 6:24. There you see how extremely quick the normal Aston DBS already is, not on the quarter mile (there it's only 5th), but with that enormous torgue, it is second (after a freaking Senna) on the half mile....
I call bullshit. There's no way this thing is almost as fast as a McLaren Senna on the half mile, there should be any number of cars faster than this thing.
You don't drive that car to have Apple play, and if that is what they had to comprise to achieve the pinacleof beauty and power, fair play! This is my literal dream car, but alas, will never be able to afford it!
This looks much better than the new one, which looks like a bad facelift. And the interior, I think looks classy and objective, much better than my Hyundai anyway 😂
There appears to be a new twin turbo V12 on the way and may make its first appearance in a new Vanquish model … time will tell, but with the new damping system, Michelin S5's, Aston developed infotainment, and new V12, it should be an awesome car th-cam.com/video/GAsARhxdfZU/w-d-xo.html
I distinctly remember clarkson doing this exact "last v12 aston we'll ever see" film about the v12 vantage.... that was a decade ago!
yeah but the powers that be are moving in the direction of banning gas cars
And how right you were
A new in-house V12 got announced 2 weeks ago

I don't think it's dated as much as it is timeless in its own way.
Looks like a mustang with a better back end

Different price bracket...

Aston Martin's V12 is always reminds me that Jeremy Clasrkson's V12 Vantage review. It was wonderful, wonderful, wonderful.

Absolutely....
The agony of choice
@@huss03 ...a dilemma I would embrace...
Good thing they are sold out and you had to get an invite from Aston to buy it.

Such an iconic, gorgeous design and an amazing engine.
There is no way he closed that door by himself at 5:38
Was thinking he was hitting a close button when he fired it up

One of the best Super- GT's 👌
Kudos, that Bond reference was so spot on and clever! 😁👌
Aston making a big mistake by not having the v12 in the db12 and in the future... The sound of the v12 is what makes it special.
Maybe the most ingenuine video yet
It's about authenticity more than it is about having everything everyone else has on the market.
What about the one 77.. that the best Aston Martin hands down
This car really is James Bond “it’s devilishly handsome, it packs a punch and on the inside…it’s full of unresolved issues” 😂😂😂😂
Dear God......the look is....ravishing, absolutely stunning. Home-made sin just standing still....I need a cigarete already!
I love Astons, they do cars like no other manufacturer.
This is one of the best looking cars....full stop
Aston sure knows how to make a beautiful car
Absolutely perfection in looks
They currently make 3 models with a V12 but every one is their "last" 😂
This really is the last V12, the new DB12 only comes with a V8.
Only a V8….. it’s a 670hp twin turbo v8 lol. May not sound the same but definitely no lack of power.
@@Tomford.888. Oh I wasn’t downplaying the V8, I was just stating that this car really does have the last Aston Martin V12.

3:57 We dont do "Miles" around these parts.
Here we are a year later and Aston have debuted an all-new Vanquish with a new design V12.

Absolutely gorgeous car.
Excellent, amusing and poignant scripting, delivered with admirable command of English vernacular 😎🎩♠️
5:15 - Why not design seat bolsters that automatically retract whenever you open the door? @astonmartin
The same way the window slightly retracts whenever you open the door, then slides back into place when you close the door.
Here is a tip: if there is a headline that asks a question, the answer is a resounding NO.
How dare they show me a car I can't buy..😂
The presenter must really hate Austin Martin, this is a beautifully made car without losing itself to modern design
This is my ideal car ever
They should just mass produce Aston Martin Victor! Mark my words, it'll go down in history as the best Aston Martin ever.
No one will miss the Mercedes joystick electronics. Aston Martin finally put some thought into it with the new DB12 that just debuted, but I will miss the V12, that's for sure.

Nice Video.
For my money, the ultimate Grand Tourer, no matter what anyone, let alone Aston Martin says.
Beautiful ❤
Wrong
Zolpidem in Wheels!
The Intercooler have reported that the V12 is confirmed to be not dead...
Don’t want to see supercars without Chris Harris
Once we watched this show for the presenters and then the cars. Now, sometimes and its only for the cars.
Big mistake to get rid of that engine.....
Long live Aston Martin
Even that Db12 will use the old aged merc infotainment system.😂😂
Nope
it just looks so good.Shame about the tech inside
I urge everyone to watch "World’s Greatest Drag Race 9!!!" starting at 6:24. There you see how extremely quick the normal Aston DBS already is, not on the quarter mile (there it's only 5th), but with that enormous torgue, it is second (after a freaking Senna) on the half mile....
I call bullshit. There's no way this thing is almost as fast as a McLaren Senna on the half mile, there should be any number of cars faster than this thing.
A classic British sports car.....only in LHD
Its a pice of art 😊
Nah. They need a DB12 Volante SuperLeggera, with a 12 and quad exhausts.
What does the One 77 have to say about this?
Perfectly looking exterior.
Why is he driving an English car on English roads with left hand drive?
Beautiful car
It’s a Merc!
Beautiful car. I wish Jeremy Clarkson was the one reviewing the car. Maybe this way it would be entertaining to watch this video.

You don't drive that car to have Apple play, and if that is what they had to comprise to achieve the pinacleof beauty and power, fair play! This is my literal dream car, but alas, will never be able to afford it!
This and the DB12 over that new 5 Series honestly
A standard DBS would be enough for me.
That Bond analogy at the end is right on the money 😂
Yourr welcome!
I'm in love
The interior is beautiful, small screen, few buttons on the steering... I hate screens in the interior. New Mustang is the worst.
That's the best Boss car to drive (not to be driven)
This looks much better than the new one, which looks like a bad facelift. And the interior, I think looks classy and objective, much better than my Hyundai anyway 😂
I disagree your shite Hyundai is superior in every way.
God i miss the trio
The British have done it again.
Beautiful car ,not to sure about the wheels
