A couple years back I went to pick up my E55 from the dealer and there was one of these in the dealership on the showroom floor...it was stunning...beautiful proportions...and the interior was the finest I have seen in a car...the gauges were like jewells...There may be faster cars out there, but few as classy as this fine automobile.
This is a great video, a proper honest road test. My grandfather owns an 07 V8 Vantage with the 4.3l engine, it is great to drive but it would be better with a little more grunt. That said it is still good for overtaking and it is very refined and a great car to own.
It's in the boot (trunk) on the right hand side behind a piece of carpet, not in the engine. We already have anyway, it stays out usually unless I, or they, take it on a long motorway journey where the constant drone can get a bit tiresome. I think there is a very slight increase in power, but it could still do with a bit more, even if you want the fuse in.
The noise is astonishing yes, it just never gets old! And thanks :). Like I say, it isn't my car it belongs to my Grandfather, I'm just a named driver on the insurance policy. A note on the exhaust valve (basically what fuse 22 controls) - I understand that it can be controlled manually too in both the V12 Vantage and DBS once the sport button is hit, I don't know if it's on the new 4.7l Vantage or not. Ours is an 07 reg 4.3l in Tungsten Silver and wasn't available with the extra features.
@shadowscreecher mate, i ve just been in this car, for a week and i went to central London with this badboy and its not the low key i thought people know what it is people staring, taking photos, bus drivers wanting racers.. Its an amazing machine, only good in small doses mate
The 4.3l Vantage sounds better I think, despite being less powerful. My Grandad owns one (couple of videos on my channel), such a beautiful machine to behold and drive.
interesting, certified used 2005+ db9s only cost about 5-10k more than a v8 vantage. i guess that little row of LED lights are more popular than they appear.
i'd love to own the hardtop vantage but would love even more to own it while living in the UK..you always read abt how the british just love their astons and how much silent respect you get on the road..
It is very nice colour. By the way the colour is Tungsten Grey, not silver - my mistake. And yes I would love to make a video, the only reason I haven't already is because I don't have good recording equipment. If you look at any of my current videos (they're nothing special) that is the best quality I can get and people would want better. No doubt I will if I buy a video camera eventually. I would be more than happy to send you photographs if you gave me an e-mail address.
God one beautiful car. I have 2 choices.. Either get this car or the DB9. However, If I were you to get the DB9, I'd only be able to afford it used. Therefore, I plan on getting this V8 Vantage all brand new custom tailored to my tastes xD Might still envy someone with the V12 vantage lol
I admit...I absolutely adore this car...I'd rather have the coupe too...looks even more beautiful, the best-looking car these times...I'd take it over the Porsche...even over a Ferrari too...nothing can be compared to the sound of this car.:)
@shadowscreecher yo~ I'm ordering a roadster in DBS black with soft top and interier all black~~~~ the car is not here yet, but I hope it will look as cool as I imagine
Just imagine these two clawns as sales man, trying yo sell u one of these cars. No matter how good these cars are I would just walk away, they have no idea :DD
This reminds me of topgear years back when they did proper car reviews, I'm talking 2004-2005 in and around then, might just be me :L either way, what a noise lol
i am an owner of the car but i like the db9 a bit better although it is a bit pricey but handels better one thing i hate about this car is gas guage u can barley see it and the converdible is not very reliable and the car is a bit bummpy and shakey
This video is 12 years old. Those cars are in the scrap yard. And the guys are old and grey. Sitting in there 1 bedroom flat watching Laurence welk reruns.
I can't speak for the presenters, but I have a V8 Vantage roadster from that year (manual, oh yeah) and it's a very long way from being in the scrap yard.
Great video guys, thank you! Love the Vantage. Great use of our fantastic Aussie landscape, good shoots and well edited! Cheers.

I saw a Vantage V8, Virage and D9 Volante, at a dealership, and I was not that impressed. To, me, Aston Martins look like ordinary cars.
tmat04 said no one ever.
The Coupe is in Onyx Black, and the Roadster is in Fire Red. Hope this helps.
The styling of the coupe is awesome!
Got one 2009 of this still just have 2000 miles. Pure automotive eye candy X 2. Mine is black. Gotta drive it more.

i am pretty sure they are assembled in england.
wots the music at 7.45 onwards
I honestly can't think of a single place where I would ever get a car above 130 mph.
He said it has an Alpine audio system. I thought they had the Linn audio.
@shadowscreecher Bond never had a Vantage. That's like saying buy a silver Lotus Elise because he used to have an Esprit.
Those look gorgeous, but I wish Aston kept the v12 vanquish body in production.
@shadowscreecher mate, i ve just been in this car, for a week and i went to central London with this badboy and its not the low key i thought people know what it is people staring, taking photos, bus drivers wanting racers.. Its an amazing machine, only good in small doses mate
@Uberkreig u can pick the interior colour, personaly i like it in red

it's called Mona Lisa Overdrive, by Juno Reactor and Don Davis; it's from The Matrix Reloaded Soundtrack.
i'd love to own the hardtop vantage but would love even more to own it while living in the UK..you always read abt how the british just love their astons and how much silent respect you get on the road..
does the new 4.7 liter engine sound better than the previous 4.3?
It is very nice colour. By the way the colour is Tungsten Grey, not silver - my mistake.

BEAUTY AND STYLE....NOW, BRUTALITY AND DISCO CAR FOR MIAMI.
God one beautiful car. I have 2 choices.. Either get this car or the DB9. However, If I were you to get the DB9, I'd only be able to afford it used. Therefore, I plan on getting this V8 Vantage all brand new custom tailored to my tastes xD Might still envy someone with the V12 vantage lol
Hey, I think the Music is from Matrix Reloaded.
Unfortunately in Australia this isn't the case.
My favourite car of all time after the DB5
Amen Jethro...good on ya!!
I admit...I absolutely adore this car...I'd rather have the coupe too...looks even more beautiful, the best-looking car these times...I'd take it over the Porsche...even over a Ferrari too...nothing can be compared to the sound of this car.:)
Made in Germany is good, they are actually capable of precision unlike us most of the time. Nothing beats German quality.
@jferlm te vantage is much cheaper than the DBS right?
this show is so much better than top gear aus!
@StuRaz No its different because it looks similar.
What is the name of the song when they go up the mountain?
Were they sitting on the cars???
I just bought a 2012 Roadster and it's everything I hoped for, and more!
I've owned more powerful cars, but this one has stolen my ❤
this car is amazing
this video is very cool
okay car advice people. if you are blocking out your presenter's rant on 4.7 vs 4.3... you don't understand gearheads. Let the man preach on it!
what's the colour code for the v8 vantage coupe?
@shadowscreecher yo~ I'm ordering a roadster in DBS black with soft top and interier all black~~~~ the car is not here yet, but I hope it will look as cool as I imagine
and the handling is good
whats the name of the music at 3:40 ??
Just imagine these two clawns as sales man, trying yo sell u one of these cars. No matter how good these cars are I would just walk away, they have no idea :DD
So true!
frikkin epic!
Astons are my favourite cars and i do like the v8 vantage's design, it looks really cool but it isn't that fast it only go's 175mph
thought it was good for 186mph (300kmh)?
what is the title at 8 minutes ? please
All Aston had to do to the 4.3 was change the exhaust manifold and cats to get 50hp extra from the same 4.3. Would have cost almost no more.
They sound just fine to me, mate..
may you tell me the name of the song? [8:20 - 8:40]
Anyone up here know the song at the beggining at around 00:38 of the video?
Thank you. Awesome cars = ) I want both of them.
UK for the win!!
beautiful cars
This reminds me of topgear years back when they did proper car reviews, I'm talking 2004-2005 in and around then, might just be me :L either way, what a noise lol
Where's Agent Smith?
these are only like 90k dude.
i have this car, its a dream to drive :)
Very good!
i don't care what he says, i couldn't care less about the stereo system in a manual two-seater sports car. it's about the driving experience man.
bah! what was the music at 3.40 ish?! otherwise, great review! + I hate you /jealous :P haha keep em coming :D
are you really ever going to go that fast though?
YESSSSSSS!!!!!!
If only the coupe didn't have that sickening blue leather!
amazzzzzing
I know I'm not very original but I fucking want one :(
about 70k
@acidrain55 no, the engine is not.
@keezo1234 Hybrid - Mr Smith (Ultimatum)
people who can afford these cars can afford to sit on them.
this car are not alot of money for me i have one like that is awsome.
@animeonperseest gray
i saw an aston martin DB9 brand new for 91 000€
i was shocked
its from the matrix just look up matrix soundtrack
@keezo1234 Matrix OST
You guys film my garage one more damn time and im suing your asses 0:12
Dad I want that......:P
@shadowscreecher bonds aston has always been silver
i am an owner of the car but i like the db9 a bit better although it is a bit pricey but handels better one thing i hate about this car is gas guage u can barley see it and the converdible is not very reliable and the car is a bit bummpy and shakey
please tell me that the engines aren't really made in germany. i might as well buy a fucking carrera s.
well i wouldnt buy something i liked less just because it can go 10 or 15mph faster.
well I'm glad that's just so insignificant to you congratulations you must be above the poverty line- perhaps donate to charity?
09.59 he said that evrey time he drove a super car
bulshit replay
Stop saying DBS when you mean DB9!
@jystyle no, the car that actually looks like a penis is the dodge viper. aston is far from that.
Pure car porn!
Real car people don't sit on cars!
lmao :)
WHY music? Everyone wants to hear the engine, but this is for hyperactives!
Not NBA 18years old player. :)
Music was incredibly annoying.

@@IAmTheHound
Really no issues. All your electronics working. Lol. Car starts when you let it sit a few days.
@@riddlescom Yes...
4 minutes into the video before the actual car review started. Beginning was useless
the presenter is quite annoying... amazingly beautiful car though.
why do all australian shows embarrass me
Please stop trying.
