As you may know, I'm currently on the Mille Miglia in Italy, one of the most grueling car events of the year. In the mean time I'm publishing some as-yet unseen content from my tour Down Under, I hope you enjoy! To get started, let's check out this fabulous Aston Martin GT12 in Auckland with a little ride to hear the V12.
Shmee150 ; just wondering why you put this video out now Tim and not when you done your tour of Australia and New Zealand not complaining just wondering and yes it sounds great that V12 vantage
I thought the manual option was also available on the GT12.. I think this might reach the $1M+ mark, they are already very valuable and I surely understand why. What a piece of art !
I wonder if it’d be possible to swap in an aftermarket steering wheel without an air bag, that’d help a lot. I remember the Vanquish has slightly fancier air vent surrounds, maybe these ones are plain because its “track focused”
You and Carwow are LITTERALY my favorite TH-cam channels that are based on cars (Vehicles actually) and fav science channel of course Vsauce, keep the great work up Tim!
Aston Martin has upped their game. That is an impressive paint scheme! John Steed, would be proud of this thoroughly, British ride! Even better, because of you, Shmee!
The GT12 sure is rare. But I'd say the ultimate Vantage is the manual V12 V600 Vantage and Vantage Roadster which only 14 will be available that is coming out.
I never realised how fast modern supercars are until I drove a McLaren 540C two weeks ago....insane. Until two weeks ago I’ve never had experienced the full throttle acceleration of a 500+ hp supercar. It’s the best thing ever, RIGHT SHMEE😁😁
I've seen one of the convertible v12 vantages with a manual gearbox!! I went for a ride in it. Fell in love with astons on that day and since have driven a v8 vantage manual on track and plan on one day owning a v8 vantage manual. Was the best car I've driven
Is it just me or does anyone else feel that Aston Martin could have done a better job with the interior (console etc) on the GT12. Outside of the seats and stitching in areas, it seems a bit plain.
Chris Gell An electric motor without gearbox would beat a V12 without a gearbox. Also: An electric motor with gearbox would beat a V12 with gearbox. At low speed, at top speed, at every speed.
Shmee. I may have missed it. But I didn’t hear you make any comments with regards to the sound in comparison to your V8. I understand the V8 and V12 are completely different engines. But would have liked to hear your thoughts more and which sound you preferred.
In my GF's Smart ForTwo, the automated single clutch manual is quirky and funny (like the rest of the car). In high performance cars like Lamborghinis, Ferraris before 458, this Aston, ANYTHING, it's utter garbage.
Their is a gt12 for sale in Dubai United Arab Emirates for $671,000 and I have also came across a gt8 for sale in Dubai United Arab Emirates also for $365,000 now my question is the gt12 worth double the price over the gt8?
bless up #Shquad on a happy hump day eh! wicked Aston Tim and a treat to go on the ride along with you, give thanks my friends for the gift that is each day and safe travels #teamshmee 8^)
The GT12, great ... I personally prefer the GT8, although I do not know where the supercar chews are going, in the last year they have released their great models, and in ten days they are modified, spoilers ... inclement colors ..., which is not a criticism, I think it's great ..., keep it that way ... so that we can enjoy those inclement videos, and the lucky ones who can buy them ... Regards
Paul from SOL said the GT8 was one of the worst supercars in the last ten years and it was to slow, but the GT12 was ok, what do you think about that Shmee ?
I agree with S.O.l the GT8 should not have been built its losing money and is slow but the GT12 has fewer numbers and its the one they should have built first and scrapped the GT8.

still prefer the Aston Martin DB11...just my preferences
Shmee150 goodmoring mate
Shmee150 ; just wondering why you put this video out now Tim and not when you done your tour of Australia and New Zealand not complaining just wondering and yes it sounds great that V12 vantage
V12 Sound is allways better than V8 Sound! ;-)))
you see super cars of London roasting the gt8 ? like wtf its an amazing car ............
Honestly that spec is drool worthy. I wish his GT8 was a better colour combo like this. Think the GT8 looks odd in the blue and orange
MRRUMNCOKE I strongly disagree
Rey Fakhar I meant the GT12 spec is amazing sorry not the GT8 in this video. Though I also prefer this spec on the GT8
Odd, but rare
Respect to the guy for having a superb Aston. Amazing that he looks about 15!!
I thought the manual option was also available on the GT12.. I think this might reach the $1M+ mark, they are already very valuable and I surely understand why. What a piece of art !
Dat noise........seriously.............is a beast!
Aston Martins interiors seem to be stuck in 2004
Sebastian Giebels steering wheel and air vents ruin the interior
You didnt see the db11 and new vantage did you?
true, but it's not a bad place to be tho, it's a nice cabin.
I wonder if it’d be possible to swap in an aftermarket steering wheel without an air bag, that’d help a lot.

Analog swizz dials. Timeless!!
Shmee150 has to be one of the most dedicated youtubers I've come across. His channel is as always fresh. Top likes for Shmee150!
That noise is the best noise a human being can create 😍
Love the exterior, but god does the interior on this generation of Astons looks dated now.
Robbie Whitlock it's a track car... For luxurious interior check out the vanquish or db11
Still my dream car till this day. Can’t get tired of the jaguar sound
With that color spec, that might be the most beautiful car I've ever seen.
Thank you for sharing! My absolute favourite front engined car of all time!
An Asian dude driving a British car in New Zealand
Web Tji So what? I bet you wish you could be that Asian guy right now!
JUMP23MΔN yeah lol
There are Asian dudes driving all kinds of cars in all kinds places, it's actually quite common...
Hello Jello
Hahahah dude I fucking love your comment. Way to reply a smart mouth.
I know.....right? I just saw a white girl driving a German car in China! And apparently some white guy drove an American car on the fucking moon!
You and Carwow are LITTERALY my favorite TH-cam channels that are based on cars (Vehicles actually) and fav science channel of course Vsauce, keep the great work up Tim!
What a treat to ride along w you gents.... thanks for the post!
That front end is just beautiful. Love the front and that horseshoe. Usually all that is too much but entire car and the paint is perfect.

Great camera work at 5:09 ;)
I'm more of an all black car type of guy but this color way is so nice. The orange hits really set it off!
Spinage?
I was looking for a comment haha. How come so few noticed it?
Salad ?
Sounds incredible for sure
This car looks GREAT blacked out (black paint, rims, etc) but the car looks awesome as stock paint too
omg the gt12 sounds amazing but the gt8 just looks incredible in grey with the lime highlights
It’s good to see you were in my mates car shmee 🤘🏽
😍😍😍 the sound of that V12 sounds so beautiful and amazing...
Wrap the white blue and you have the big brother of yours!
Yooooo son...The colorway of this spec is gorgeous!! #NoDebate it's beautiful on that car. #Period!
Wow is that car awesome! Thanks for the info Shmee.
Yeah its such a loud car, a true beast indeed, i seen one at a car show here in Belgium, also in that colors, i really enjoyed this video Shmee!
shmee is in a new country every day i love it
Aston Martins. Ferraris and Porsches are just beautiful cars
Hear this beast Rev sound.....WOW....9:25 OMG BEASTLY SOUND......DAMMMMM LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!
I've seen one of the convertible v12 vantages with a manual gearbox!! I went for a ride in it. Fell in love with astons on that day and since have driven a v8 vantage manual on track and plan on one day owning a v8 vantage manual. Was the best car I've driven
#EarltSquad :D
Bloody goodness that thing looks amazing and sounds like a damn demon.
Tim please do some more Focus RS vidz please
Cool car! And thanks for showing us around those other Astons. Looks like an awesome dealership!
Good definition. Aggressive beast mate
I am clearly not well in the head. For about 2 seconds I was going OH NO he is going the wrong way down the road. What a sweet car!
Amazing video
Is it just me or does anyone else feel that Aston Martin could have done a better job with the interior (console etc) on the GT12. Outside of the seats and stitching in areas, it seems a bit plain.
it's a track car not a daily GT for pretty interior they have the Vanquish or the DB11
司徒凱文 .... You're absolutely right 👍 ... didn't think about that Haha. Yeah I guess you'd sacrifice the luxury interior in this case.
Don't know what they were thinking about, the gear box is rubbish and it's not very fast
The guy can't drive. Lucky enough to track and drag race (no it wasnt designed for it but was good fun) one of these, it shifts much faster.
What a killer spec... Beautiful!
Popped into the dealership today awesome lot in Auckland,had a great look around
Your TH-cam channel is one of the greatest things ever!
Loving the little “sh” at the start of some words
Hi Shmee150 nice video!
Definitely a wise choice to have taken a manual gearbox for your GT8! The feeling is really different from an automatic gearbox !
Great video- I’m up in Auckland in August going to check the shop out 👍
Nothing can beat a V12.....nothing. (Except a W16)
Looking at you at Bug.
Electric motors can easily beat a V12
Herb Derb On acceleration but not top speed
Chris Gell An electric motor without gearbox would beat a V12 without a gearbox. Also:
An electric motor with gearbox would beat a V12 with gearbox.
At low speed, at top speed, at every speed.
Chris Gell high end? Electric motors don't have high and low end, it's a flat torque curve
Shmee. I may have missed it. But I didn’t hear you make any comments with regards to the sound in comparison to your V8. I understand the V8 and V12 are completely different engines. But would have liked to hear your thoughts more and which sound you preferred.
hi from Mexico! keep the great work mate!
How many Aston Martin can I buy with 144 euro?
y0ungAndFresh you can buy a door knob maybe
Some Aston Martin toys model
2
you could probably buy the stitching for the steering wheel and maybe the tyre caps if you're lucky...
Oliver Dunn The wheel caps are £372,59! No kidding. Found it on their website
Nice video, good seeing some rare Astons
When you have an Aston Martin GT12, but you don't have a toothpick.
savavel LMFAOOOOO
Toothpick is overrated. Floss is the way.
The way that thing shifts gear is embarrassing.
Why do you mean? I bet it feels better to drive one of those clutches than a double clutch nowdays ( if you drive a car for pleasure alone)
JUST MONIKA No, did you not hear how long it took to upshift? For a car of this age it should be more advanced or manual.
Seen Through Haggis A good or awesome driver could probably shift quicker. e.g. Cleetus McFarland
The guy can't drive. Lucky enough to track and drag race (no it wasnt designed for drag but it was good fun) one of these, it shifts much faster.
In my GF's Smart ForTwo, the automated single clutch manual is quirky and funny (like the rest of the car). In high performance cars like Lamborghinis, Ferraris before 458, this Aston, ANYTHING, it's utter garbage.
9:19 Jesus !! That made my day
That's sad
Herb Derb is not
Love the vids.
When you will be getting hand on Aston Martin vanquish zagato ?, would love to see that car's review on your channel..
Nothing like a V12 on flip-flops.
Wow! hopefully, I could see you in town. I usually go to AM Auckland Dealership every week lol
Good lord this is one hot cars!!! DAMN!!
So then Shmee, GT12 or 599 GTO?
Hey shmee, are you doing any other trips this year
Thanks Tim for making my eardrums bleed.
100 made and they're still going for about 250-350 today, quite surprising
Their is a gt12 for sale in Dubai United Arab Emirates for $671,000 and I have also came across a gt8 for sale in Dubai United Arab Emirates also for $365,000 now my question is the gt12 worth double the price over the gt8?
What do you think about what paul sad(sol) about your gt8
N/A Aston's V12 is life.
bless up #Shquad on a happy hump day eh!
wicked Aston Tim and a treat to go on the ride along with you,
give thanks my friends for the gift that is each day and safe travels #teamshmee
8^)
Personally I think the GT8 sounds better and angrier. Still sounds superb though
Tim would you ever consider buying a gt12 if you had the money or a different car for that price?
Just missed you!
YEEEEES!!! like number 1k>>> lifetime goal achieved!
Is this louder then the Zagato.
why didn't u go for the GT12 instead of a GT8?
Iebe Pottie i Think it was sold out

Did he really just day? Shmeeting?
Such an amazing aston martin
AMAZING!!!!
Shmee.......Are you going to make a clip about the DB11 Volante ?
Is it louder than your gt8?
Why didn't you buy the v12 version?
A thumbnail without Shmee standing in front of the car?
One off the last car I want to drive before I die. I am just a AM freak. If you want to buy one shmee , there are 2 for sell in holland.
Wow I'm in love
Pure Vant'gasm!...
The RPM guage goes counter clockwise. Very strange....
We are not going get this sound anymore with AMG engines.
I agree with S.O.l the GT8 should not have been built its losing money and is slow but the GT12 has fewer numbers and its the one they should have built first and scrapped the GT8.
@Shmee150 are u going to get one
Bras my 9th fave car of all tym
Hi Shmee!
It's me, I'm back!
#SHQUAD
Monster
Any reason you selected the GT8 over the GT12?
Grant price
Would you trade your GT8 for one?
Nice video
The best looking Aston reminds me of pixel racer
Are you going to buy any car with a V12 ? My personal favourite engine besides V8 and Flat6.
Didn’t shmee’s dad have a GT12?
