Thank you for the no BS review, you are one of the few that actually drive the cars that you feature. I really don’t know why someone would watch 20 minutes “quarks and features” on a cool car just to see 3-5 minutes of the car actually doing its intended job.
Good observation, but two different channel for different purposes. This channel has a true driver with experience, the other is just for fun (quarks). I get it, don't know why either!
Answer: a DB11 V12 with forged wheels and stiffer subframe bushes. Yes that’s it. The rest is updated damper, trans and engine maps, plus of course the cosmetics. Buy a DB11 V12 for $30,000 less and pay any AM dealer $1999 for the reflash! (or get the AMR software for free as part of the deal!)
Not for a while. I should have already, but GM properly cocked that up, so I had a private car lined up, but that's not going to happen any time soon, either.
If I'd win the lottery right now Aston would somehow still give me a headache buying a car. In the luxury GT spot my first choice is the Lexus LC500. The beautiful DB11 would feel wrong as a V8 next to a V8 Lexus. DBS is not my kind of styling, less elegant than the DB11. The AMR feels somewhat odd in it's own right - deleting all styling options that would designate it as AMR instead of "normal". All hypothetical theory, but just my thoughts.
The LC and DB11 aren't quite cross-shopped. I love the LC, mind you, and the DB11 V8 is still a lovely machine. There's nothing quite like an Aston Martin, no matter how good the LC is (and it's unquestionably the better car across a wide range of parameters).
@@BrianMakse Absolutely. I imagine there's a whole other level of craftsmanship and exclusivity tied to an Aston. The DBS would be the choice to reduce the smiliarities even more. Just the styling, especially the front end, is not my taste. So in conclusion after all my theoretical lottery money would probably sink into an LC500 and something way different, out of the 4-seater GT class. Too bad there just isn't any lottery money, yet ;-)
@@6rimR3ap3r Get on it! The only four seater GTs that are on my radar are the Continental and the Lusso. The back seats in both DB11 and LC are utterly useless. I took some family to Disneyland in the Continental convertible in the fall. Brilliant all 'rounder, that thing. But, but, but, the LC is so special...
Yeah, in the end went for the V8 for economic reasons and also because felt like the sound of V8 was a little more aggressive... but again would not mind giving the AMR a second shot!

Thanks, we agree! As always, tell your friends and let all of those folks know on Reddit!
Brian Makse will do so I’ve already shared 2 vids of yours on Twitter and will continue to do so, keep up the good work!
Thank you so much! 💪💪💪

Great video again Brian. Very informative as always.
Awesome, thanks! Glad you enjoyed. We've got a few more weeks' worth of content coming before we're done!
Excellent format! Very good compromize eith the pictures about the car and the view of the journalist! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Glad you enjoyed. Stick around, we’ve got a review of the DBS Superleggera coming soon.

Looks fun
It is.
If it was for yourself would you choose the V8 or the AMR overall?
AMR for sure, just not with these colours!
Had trouble choosing for myself, it is very difficult to notice exact differences over quite short test drives... 😅
Indeed. The AMR resolves the dynamics of the V12 and the big engine is simply the better choice for a host of reasons.

Everything Aston Martin produces is Sexy.. Everything
DB9 and the previous Vantage are my faves.
I prefer the exhaust note less vocal.
I think most people share your opinion on this car.
Are you one of the lucky owner, you were to positive about this car, 007
Check out all the cars on my channel. Buying all of these cars gets awfully expensive after a while!
