Should I Upgrade to a Vanquish S?

- The Vanquish S is Aston Martin's flagship super-GT and since buying my 'regular' Vanquish I have been pondering the upgrade path. Now it's time to let my car go, I headed to Aston Martin Edinburgh to go out for a spin in their Vanquish S Coupe to see what the changes are all about. What do you think, should the new S be added to my garage in the future?
With a slightly revised visual and aerodynamic appearance, highlighted by contrasting accents and quad tailpipes, the Vanquish S takes power up to 603PS from 576PS (retaining the 630Nm torque) from the 6 litre V12, while adding in a little more noise thanks to new intake manifolds and some additional tweaks around the car.
One of the beautiful things about taking such a stunning car for a test drive, is the wonderful roads that can be found throughout Scotland with endless opportunities to enjoy such a car. Thanks goes to AM Edinburgh and the Leven Car Company for the opportunity to drive their car:

Shmee150 so my man Wich channel is he talking about lol
Vehicle virgins?
I saw and heard a vanquish s the other day and the noise is addictive!
Tell me about it!
i saw a aston the other day and thought it was a mondeo.

Apollo00 z not true
ikr
I told my late wife a bit before she passed away. That maybe we should pick up an Aston Martin second hand. As wouldn't the drives back and forth to her doctor's appointments in hospitals be far more enjoyable in an Aston Martin then in the back of an ambulance. It made her laugh. If I had an Aston Martin even if it was not in running condition I would sit in the driveway in it and make vroom vroom sounds.
I really wouldn't swap the vanquish for the vanquish s , it is way too similar. Go for some bigger changes and maybe for some new experiences.
I am agreeing or now, hence my Vanquish is going and the AMG GT R arrive to replace it for now.
When is your AMG due to arrive?
Answer is heart felt yes, but can you cope with the depreciation ?
Somebody got straight to the kicker! Very true
watching this vid again and I'd get one, only here once and all that.
Shmee150 oh God the vanquishes deprecates like a rock I swear. The first year you will loose 100k usd then the second year just go ahead and chop an extra 50k or more from the value. Buying a vanquish is literally like throwing away 150k in the trash hahahahahw
Bought an Vanquish volante at the beginning of summer ,just selling it back to the dealer in late August ,loss £1,000, better than a fiesta, and what a car, loved it so much my S has just been delivered to a different dealer. They are producing very few S's. They will not loose heavily, especially the volutes, in my opinion
Richard John agreed they may not depreciate in value too much because, let's face it this is the last naturally aspirated general production car they make but what if a limited Vanquish AMR arrives that means this one gets a kicking surely?
Next video: I've sold all my cars & got myself an electric bike 🚲
Awais X he should they go the same speed as he drives
Great video Tim. I love the Aston's. Definitely a used one after it has had its big depreciation.
No man! I love you shmee and you're spending so much on all these cars yet you never have time to drive them, you're always on the road driving the most awesome cars in the world, driving cars that have been lent to you, press releases, etc etc. Just get a good daily, and something nice on the side like your mini or the morgan 3-wheeler and you're good! :) I know some of these cars don't depreciate but honestly you don't need 6 cars if you're never home haha.
Years later he has 10+
In my humble opinion, I think an upgrade to the aston martin vanquish s would be too little of a change when compared to the vanquish carbon edition you have at the moment. As a regular viewer, I would love to see something more distinct as a successor to your vanquish. Ever thought about the mercedes sls or the new bentley supersports for example? For me this would be more interesting to see on your channel as it is more of a change. However, the vanquish s has the brilliant sounding v12 and just looks stunning! Anyway, keep up the good work! Enjoying it as always!
Hi Tim. That car is ABSOLUTELY AWESOME. I would whole heartedly go for the Vanquish S. the sound the look and the quality. Also the last Vanquish to be naturally aspirated. That sound. Oh my goodness. If I had the opportunity then I would jump at the chance and the first run would be in Scotland on the famous 500.
I love the depth and detail you go into, Shmee! Keep it up!
why are astons' gorgeous on the outside but so damn ugly on the inside, just look at that steeringwheel an totally outdated counters 🤢
They have been heavily updated with DB11, and will be also in new Vantage next year
If you have ever sat in one , you will understand, they are gorgeous ,the craftsmanship is stunning, try it
The DB 11, Although more technically advanced and 911's have not patch on the vanquish
Yeah that's the interior of a car from 2008, it's quality with the materials but looks so damn basic and outdated, they need to make it more modern
Paladin No manufacturer would ever completely redesign the interior on a facelift model, especially on a car that doesn't sell in big numbers.
But than the main question is: is this car that much of an upgrade from your vanquish? I think it isnt, and it is not as special as your blackbadge series vanquish.
I think there's a point in that, it's not 'that much' of an upgrade, for potentially a lot of money
Id just get a different exhaust for the vanquish instead of going for the s.
He's getting greased by Aston Martin, they are buttering him for promotion of products existing and new cars, which is fair enough, he does a good job at promoting their cars fairly without too much bias. Shmee has always been good to manufacturers over the last 6 years i've watched him, keeps all reviews even :)
The video that made me fall in love with a Vanquish S, even after 5 years still the love of my life.
At 4:53 I found myself wondering what wheels were in the red Fiesta... I love the Aston, but I got bored...
I love your pure excitement! She sounds beautiful!
Tim please when you press down the gas pedal stop talking I want to hear the beautiful music that car makes!
I love how much of a businessman you are Tim. You bought the Volante for a purpose, it's now served that purpose and now you're selling it to get (at least some of) your money back instead of holding on to it and letting the value of it decrease.
Hey Shmee - for the record, James Bond did drive a Vanquish in Die Another Day. Or as Q liked to call it - the “Vanish”
The color combination on this one just looks so stunning
I was next to a Vanquish S as we drove through the Tyne Tunnel last week, the sound was glorious!
Both cars are stunning
That rear end is sexy as hell. This is definitely not a typical Aston. Love it.
I never thought I'd be able to afford an AM Vanquish but now that I can I really am not certain if I want one.
It has been a childhood infatuation of mine too.
I was on the Aston website today looking at this very car and then next thing Tim's driving it round the roads a mile from where I live!
The center console is actually marble carbon fiber, which shimmers quite lovely in the sunshine
That's got to be one of the best looking and sounding cars of all time! I hired a DB9 Carbon Edition for my wedding and it was worth every penny just for the noise!
Just wait until the prices drop some more, first enjoy your other cars!
Tim, you should ABSOLUTELY upgrade to this car. It is probably the most beautiful car made.
I vote to get it in that same grey colour with orange highlights like your GT8.
And I agree with you on the carbon fibre... twill weave is much nicer.
Cheers.
And it may not have 12in screens but omg it's beautiful Inside, like it's made by a savill row tailor, everyone is blown away who got into mine
looks stunnig in that grey but i´d rather wait for a "dbs-Version" of the db11
The sounds at 8:30 onwards are amazing. The transmission’s shifts do seem noticeably quicker and crisper than older VH platform models too. Not as quick as a Ferrari F12, but more than quick enough, and it lets you keep your foot down longer to legally enjoy the power and sound longer than you could on a Ferrari.
I think you should totally get a vanquish s. You clearly love Aston martins, as do I, and I can see you really appreciating owning one of you do get it.
My absolute dream car is a Vanquish S Volante. This is a MUST for your fleet
Loved being able to listen to the engine noise Tim - it's a beautiful thing. Not sure if you need this car in your garage though ???
I really don't see you talk about the other cars the same way, I would keep it!!
This thing is crazy, do it. Just get something special on the looks side. More like bright inside and with out any stripes on the outside.
If you watch the video with automatic captions, when Shmee isn't talking, it recognises the engine sound as "music", which to me seemed quite appropriate!
Excellent video as usual Tim
Adam Herbert thanks man!
Hi Shmee.
Why not "upgrading" to an Aston Martin DBS? Exactly how we have seen it in the James Bond Movies. Now that´s a real beauty.
The current Vanquish surely is a beauty as well, but I personally would not go for it (if i had the money ;)) because of the rear end. The DBS is what I call perfect. From each angle. Yes, it´s an older platform. And probably, it is not produced anymore. But as you go for a carefully groomed used one with low mileage, you save some money. But way more important: You drive one of the most beautiful cars ever made.
Just my opinon
Cheers.
Awesome video tim
The sound of that V!2 is so primitive. Absolutly fantastic!
excellent job again by shmee !!!!...following for 3 years and counting
Thanks for the support!
Hell yes get one Tim. Such a beautiful car! That sound of the engine! Wow!
That car with the entertainment system of the DB11 would be perfect. I would sell my house to have a car with that sound in a heartbeat
Oh my god, those quad pipes!😍
Upgrade to the S ! Its amazing !
For me, current generation Vanquish (especially Vanquish S) is the most beautiful AM ever made. It hase just too much style and presence, great engine and exhaust note. I really like this sepc, it just looks different and special, not that usual boring black/white/silver car, but only if it had carbon interior like yours... All in all if you are able to upgrade to Vanquish S, than why not.
Buy the vanquish s if you want! Its a really nice car. I love this colour combination, it looks really nice
This is the most beautiful and powerful naturally aspirated regular production car Aston will ever make. Get it for sure!
I'd say get it if you really want to, Tim. But, to me, once you collect your GT-R, I think your original plan that the Volante was just a placeholder will go into fruition.
Absolutely!!! Get THAT car with THAT spec!!!
Scottjb86 That car is gorgeous!
Buy one for sure! This time do the blue extras vs the entire care in your normal blue.
Beautiful car, but what madness led AM to place the hood-release lever in the passenger footwell? Flip your Vanquish if you must, Tim, but I hope you never relinquish your GT8.
The only thing that I don't really like much about this car is wheels. It isn't that they're ugly. But they just don't look as nice as the optional one offered on the regular Vanquish model, and the Vanquish Zagato, in my opinion.
Great Video like always! What a car! There is nothing with more class than an Aston Martin.
I love this car!! Go for it!! - and please stay with Aston!
I got pictures of this Aston Martin car, its so beautiful.
I honestly don't see why you would. It's more of a cross grade than an upgrade. If it had the DB11 interior and infotainment package, then it would be a yes
The recent Vanquish is possibly the prettiest car out today.
OH SHMEE YES PLEASE !!! THAT V12 SOUND IS OUT OF THIS WORLD ....
Sounds great and looks awesome, if I could afford one I would 'pull the trigger' no doubt. Have fun!!!
This looks SO much better than the DB11
One of the best looking cars ever, so classy
Fantastic video! Never clicked off Doug DeMuro so quickly! xD
i think the FF and Vanquish should go and you should get an SLS Black Series. If not, i think the S is a good, great upgrade to the Vanquish
Been looking at a 2014 model, think after your review I will bring it home.
Y don't you buy all the cars in the world
It looks really cool with the blue parts and the sound is amazing
Thats exactly what I would expect from AM - same form but with high and fast revving engine. They shown that they can with Vuclan model, now they HAVE TO translate that into the road. Ferrari really needs some proper competitor like 10 years ago.
What is the best sounding v12 for you, btw amazing video.
Seriously tough call between the 6l Aston and the 6.3/6.5l Ferrari, I don't know.
Love'em... AM's are just beautiful machines!
Push it, you can definitely feel the extra power, it has a revised set up also
£209,950 is a lot for that Vanquish S, good move in holding off until prices come down. 12 to 18 months could lead to a more reasonable price, likely still low mileage. It does sound sublime though doesn't it, cracking way to announce one's arrival (& departure).
Nice dealership in Edinburgh park u can get a brilliant shot of a Aston from the stairs in the showroom
First thoughts before watch all video is yes do it but converable so it's a all round like your current vanquish.
Yes that's a very good idea Shmee.
Seems very smooth and comfortable for riding in a land jet.
I reckon that for me, it would have to come down to, on the one hand, do I want the extra little "S-ness" for its additional S-ness, or if I'm predominantly wanting it for touring and as it's still a GT, do I want the more pure "GT-ness" e.g. slightly less firm ride and more elegant/pure GT looks of the non-S? I can definitely see the attraction, but I guess in theory, other-than-GT does the "S-ness" better. But then again it's a NA V12 and the S has a little more of that :)
The world most beautiful speed dials ever built
Hey Shmee150, great video as always.
I would say that you should upgrade your Vanquish, even tho it is an awesome car. But you should not change it with the S.
Everybody is different, but my Dad sold his Vanquish (it wasnt a carbon edition) and bought the Vanquish S, just like what you are thinking about. But after sone time he noticed, that the S didnt have enough changes. Yes, the S has a awesome sound, and some nice little features, but i dont think that this is the car for your upgrade.
Long story short, he sold the S and bought a DB11, an awesome car btw.
But if you love the car you should get it!
Have an awesome day :)
I like the aero upgrades. No offense to either car, but its the Vantage 8 meets the Vanquish. Sell both the vantage 8 and convertible vanquish for this car the best of both worlds. Thats my idea. and i'm sticking to it.
Bite the bullet, pay some more and get an 812, could even sell the ff as well as the vanquish! It's something different, you love the car and it would look good in your garage while still practical.
This car Tim just looks and sound amazing that exhaust note is just heaven. I would want to drive this car all day long 7 days a week you need this car in your life Tim it's a must have car Tim. Regards Alan B
This color is amazing.
The exhaust valves do no react to the steering. Its the idle changing slightle due to the power steering pump working harder when the steering wheel is turned to pump fluid to one side of the rack or the other and causes a slight draw on the engine which in turn is heard as an audible change in engine note due to the idle decrease.
Hello Shmee
I think that u must go for it.
If you ask my opinion I will say you must upgrade into vanquish s , it's more aggressive and more fun.
Although it's up to you.
I've always thought, as a whole package, your Vanquish is better than the GT-8. To me as an older person the noise and looks of the GT-8 aren't in keeping of the brand. An Aston Martin should have road presence, but not have to shout about it's performance while cruising down the road. Very loud exhausts and shouty exteriors are for the boys racers (no disrespect). An Aston Martin is an Aston Martin...Class...enough said.
Get the Vanquish S Tim.
Hi Shmee, im guys !
Sam Halef that "joke" has been done to death.... yawn
Sam Halef obviously your fairly new. He's already done a video where he sais that.
Tim, if you’re coming to the London Classic Car Show in February, please pop by the AMOC stand, Red 10 will be there & it would be a pleasure to show you round it? H
I will not be at the show unfortunately.
Tied for 1st place for the best sounding car along with the LFA as far as i'm concerned. Buy it!
This Vanquish S is a future collectible as the last Aston N/A V12 flagship!
I asked and they said the S is the last version of the Vanquish . They said there will be a new Vanquish and a DBS. Also production will cease soon and there will be very limited numbers produced , so fingers crossed
Shmee, the Vanquish S isn't that much of a difference - if anything, your Vanquish is pretty special looking (black series). Keep that one :)
Love this color comnation. Best looking aston I've ever seen.
"Damn that thing is sexy!!"
I literally said that out loud.. mid shower..
My phone struggled to process the speed at which I clicked this vid😂😂
Lol rich people problems. I've never even touched a Aston Martin, let alone having to make a decision as to whether I should upgrade one for another lol.
Then you did life wrong.
GunsNBudder not necessarily. I drive a pretty nice Audi S7 and had a pretty decent career in the Marine Corps. Being rich isn't in the plan for everyone. If it was then the whole world would be rich. Not owing a super car doesn't mean that you're a failure in life. I'm typing this while my feet are in my pool in my backyard. Not rich but barely broke brother.
Maybe he has other plans on spending his money! 🙂
Only let down is the infotainment system which should be much better for a car of this caliber !
0 to 60 from 3.6s to 3.5s??? Woooaah better get that upgrade bro 👏👏👏
Rogelio Chua 0-62 and it's 3.4.
Adam Petten he said 3.6 to 3.5 and given that you're right, still 3.6 to 3.4 is ridiculous 😂
Rogelio Chua well the greater the horsepower the less you get with a 25 bhp increase
