Unpopular opinion I’m ready to be vanquished for… I think it’s ugly. Ugly hot but still Ugly. Beautifully designed… amazing profile… it has all the right parts. It’s as if someone said “Angelina Jolie’s lips, Kate Upton’s boobs, A Williams Sister Booty” and yet the woman still came out looking inexplicably unattractive. In love it. I’d be happy to drive one. It’s just… not as good looking as I would’ve hoped.
I do like the design, but 2 points: that ENORMOUS triangular vent behind the front wheel arches is WAY too big, at least 20% bigger than it should be, and the rear is a step BACKWARDS to the stunningly pretty cars of ~13 years ago, it's like this is the step BEFORE those.
Mann... gotta respect Aston Martin to engineer a brand new v12 in 2024 where every car manufacturer is seemingly going either fully electric or hybrids
TH: Honey I have a business trip next week. The business trip: buying two V12s (probably rusty) and going on a road trip/drive with good friends. You guys are living the dream, congrats. Enjoy the trip, not the destination ♥️
The side profile and rear three-quarter view of this car are just stunning. It floored me in a way that no new car has done in a long time. I really want to see one in dark green with bronze wheels.
Yes, the side profile looks exciting, and the front is a nice little update to the old, but that back end flat panel…? Just plain weird. There’s sculpting, accent lines, vents and other points of interest everywhere, and then you get to the back and there’s that weird, flat, bland, featureless panel that looks waaay too last minute and tacked on. I… REALLY don’t get it. The license plate is weirdly shifted down and out of the way, just to preserve the blandness?
Post TGT and original Top Gear era, this is where fans come to see the same banter and car review that everyone can relate to, plus the adventures, this is becoming something big now,
To me this is a much more enjoyable car enthusiast channel, as Top Gear veered (pun intended) too much into wacky car adventures and races/competitions.
I LOVE the Aston Martin Aesthetic in all of their models. Especially their "halo cars". There is just something that resonates with me and their design. So beautiful
Stunning. This will go down as one of the best looking Astons ever. Which is a high bar. The fact they have nailed the handling and kept it under 4,000 lbs doesn't hurt either. And that's before you get to the magnificent engine. A hat tip to Aston Martin. And most of all, kudos for getting Thomas and James to review it. Because now your car has truly arrived. If you need a beta tester to drive it for a year, let me know.
You guys aren't the new top gear, but you have the same type of review style- focusing more on the feeling of a car and not on all the little details. And I LOVE THAT. Leave the detailed reviews to Savage Geese or others. We need reviewers like you that make you smile when you watch a video. That's what cars are all about.
Continue to enjoy your videos. You don't seem to take yourselves too seriously. You come across as humble and having a fun perspective on what you are fortunate to be doing and you're funny. I hope your success continues. Oh and yes this car and many others you discuss are awesome.
that intro really makes me happy, now that the grand tour has ended is nice to see the legacy go on through other creators trying to recreate the greatness those 3 legends managed in the last 20 years
It is gorgeous and what an engine, perfect for a GT. As I get older I appreciate the torque converter trans being attached to this torque monster. I enjoy the luxurious feel of effortless acceleration and no weird lurching when daily driven. Aston nailed it.
color grading on this episode is exceptional. watching on a super accurate srbg monitor that usually points out literally any artifacts or flaws in a video or its quality and i can almost see absolutely nothing wrong with the vid here. cudos to ur editor and team guys fr
I agree. Im just glad they gave their screen a good surrounding. I hav no idea what bmw and mercedes r doing. They r just sticking ipads on their cars. Who wants to look at a computer monitor as they drive
@@temwananinkana3419 That's the least of the problems. The real issue is that they want you to operate the iPad screen and multi-level menus in order to do basic, frequent operations.
I have always been a fan of Aston's, but this one is probably my favorite looking. Great job guys. When I win the Texas lottery I'll sure order one in the color of the one in this video.
I cant wait for the new adventure!! It feels like Top Gear, and although I love what Freddy, Hoovie, and Ed did with car Trek, I love the James and Thomas banter, it feels slightly less forced and a little bit more fun. I still love car trek though! Thanks Throttle House 😊 Edit: I'd also like to add that this is probably the most beautiful car I've seen in forever. Beats every new Ferrari, Lamborghini and Porsche in the looks department. Aston nailed it.
In the most complimentary way possible, this show is the essence of the original BBC Top Gear with the trio we all know. Keep up the good work, you two.
It was such a hard decision choosing between this Aston and my 1999 300k mile Honda Civic. The allocation process was so hard for both, but when I got approved I knew I have to go with the Civic at the end of the day. This car is awesome tho!
You Gentleman and I use the term lightly lol are living the life truly blessed also to be friends at your level .. love the reviews and the comradery and feeding off each other .
Yep, should have just stuck with a NA V12 those turbos are going to F' up that ZF gearbox even though it's a good gearbox I don't think it will take 1000Nm torque for very long !
Aston Martin is making the most beautiful cars. In an era where every car looks like a Hyundai, Aston Martin looks like a freaking alien gift to the petrolheads. Keep going, Aston!
Really, really looking forward to your longer form videos of the cheap V12s! Enjoyed the adventures you had earlier offroad with definitely - not offroad cars 😊
I think this is one of the best looking new cars you can buy today and probably one of the top 25 or 30 best looking cars ever. I absolutely LOVE this thing.
Anyone see the Drone hovering in the mirror at 1:10 ? Yet another excellent review by James and Thomas...or is it Thomas and James? Right so off to sell the wife and kids to put down a deposit for the Vanguish now.
Hats of to Aston for actually building a V-12 car in today's climate of going the route of small 6's and 8's. It's a bold move that i think will pay off for them. On the note of the difference between driving into a parking lot in the Ferrari and the Aston. I think the best way to sum it up is "you show up in a Ferrari but you arrive in an Aston".
@@kena1283 the 12 cilindri isn't exceptional in terms of design, but it ain't terrible either. F80 however, they had to name their halo hypercar after a BMW 3 series chassis code, and add to that the abysmal design language and the downsized engine.
@@adamhughes4001 Well in the case of Ferrari, that analogy doesn't apply. Around 2-3k Purosangues roll out the factory every year with an N/A V12, same case with the Dodici Cilindri. So 5000 V12 engines mass produced and they decided to go 'eco friendly' on their flagship hypercar? 😂 Think about it
tbh, while I am also disappointed that new Ferrari halo car is not a screaming V12 but its a LMDh powertrain on boost. Sure its a 296 engine on steroids but it won LeMans twice. F50 was using a version of their F1 engine, same thing with F80.
I would just like you two gents to know that among all of the other famous car review shows/channels (Top Gear, Hagerty, and so on), yours is the one I click on first EVERY single review!
As a Sicilians I will say those roads are amazing regardless of ... the shoes are also talked about in a way I want them now. Love the video. Looking forward to 2 v12s.
Best car review channel! you guys rock! But I must say a adventure episode is the most entertaining and relatable with budget cars that most of us have!
Its just beautiful. That alone is enough to convince me to buy it over the Dodici Cilindri. Although sound is a major contender for me, but I'm sure people buying this car would probably have something in their garage to tackle that too.
I was thinking about this model, but then I chose the VW GTI instead. Still, this is a good car too!
I was going to get a gti but James convinced me from multiple videos to get a Miata 😂
I was thinking about this model but I'll chose a C8 ZR1 with faster up/down shifts less than $500K but still a nice car!
That's very economical and grown-up of you. All the activities you can now do with all that gas money you're saving. 😂
I got two old barra Ford falcons ones a turbo lol
Me too, MK7 GTI and tune, can't go wrong.
Ppl don’t eve realize they took ALOT of design cues from the 1970s v8 Aston’s like the OG Vantage and the virage from the 90’s. This is so awesome!
Also the Vantage V600 from the 90s! That shoulder line is straight off that car. Such a beast.
@@vantage789Aston Martin Project Vantage also looks as good as Vantage V600.
One thing can't be argued, at least by anyone with a modicum of taste, Aston makes stunningly beautiful cars.
Was just thinking the same thing. Legit looking at this car like "wow, this car looks like it was drawn by an artist". Amazing styling
That’s why their clientele are doctors lol
Unpopular opinion I’m ready to be vanquished for…

That’s not a hard statement to make when you look to the prancing horse in Italy that made a hideous V12 car.
Mann... gotta respect Aston Martin to engineer a brand new v12 in 2024 where every car manufacturer is seemingly going either fully electric or hybrids
I suspect they'll sell everyone if them they make😊
their direct competition are making v12s (much better ones that are naturally aspirated), who cares if honda or whatever want to go electric/hybrid
A v12 hybrid ain’t bad tbh . Best of both worlds

@@noobFab Are you deaf? You can make it body color and then it just look like a normal panel.
It's just "profile ", not side profile.
Looks almost identical to a year 2000 Chevy Camaro SS. I love when these high-priced models take design cues from 25-year-old $20K cars.
HOW, like HOW, can your shots look better and the footage with the music be more epic than what every TV channel or ad do?????????
A review for another car I will never be able to afford? Count me in. Wonderful channel fellas, you’ve got me hooked with every video
Alot of companies pay for awards and don't want car reviews to go out or they would sell less shit product.

Proper Aston this. Front engine, rear drive, Wailing V12. Stunner.
I read this comment with the thickest British accent you could image.
@@coolmanfoo2407 I read it with the mat watson carwow accent
It doesn't wail.

It redlines at 7k and max power stops at 6500. Not really wailing, is it?
Where have you boys gone now? No, not the country but rather here on TH-cam. It's been silence, we need you now more than ever.
They must be filming a new adventure.
Throttle House is simply modern-day Top Gear. Thank you for what you do Thomas and James!
With all due respect, if Top Gear were available today at it's best, I'll still pick these videos. 😉
Not even the same type of content. Like comparing drag racing to Formula 1
Nothing like top gear
To me this is a much more enjoyable car enthusiast channel, as Top Gear veered (pun intended) too much into wacky car adventures and races/competitions.
@@adamkrauss303 i agree. Just review the car lmao. I dont need to see a car being bungee-jumped off a dam😂

Exactly hahah. But tbh, this car would have me creamin like crazy if I could afford it!
@@MrBodenbean They call him Screamin' Creams around the shop.
Out of all the huge Aston grills, I think this one looks the best. And that profile is simply stunning.
Yep. The Aston grills look fantastic actually.
The first car ive seen that doesn't have a bad angle. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL🔥
So glad Aston Martin hasn't lost their flame. They cooked with the Valkryie and now this too!
how you guys have yet to be approached for a TV show yet blows my mind yall are TOP car content on youtube rn!
Probably more money doing youtube, not sure anyone really watches TV these days
They would no longer have their freedom. It would turn like Donut did for a while.
They're so much better than the new Top Gear to be honest
Rear end looks like an updated 80s V8 Vantage. That's not a bad thing.
Side profile looks like a GTC4 Lusso
Thats IT!, I couldnt put my finger on what it was on the rear. Personally i like the Early Galen era AM from front to back.
The rear looks almost exactly like a Victor.
And it has the presence of the One-77
@@deekamikaze it's all an aston martin design cues stop comparing it to a lusso

best comment award!
I LOVE the Aston Martin Aesthetic in all of their models. Especially their "halo cars". There is just something that resonates with me and their design. So beautiful
I think they still make them using the golden ratio and still keeping their classic designs
1:04 my sister came in and asked me what movie was i watching, the quality on these videos are just 🤌
YES I’ve been waiting for this one! Such a beautiful car
Yet looks just slightly different from a 2011 model lmao. Tryna do the ole slight face lift and power increase every year for decades like Porsche.
That intro got me excited. Really enjoy your long format adventures sprinkled in between the usual fun.
To the editing team - thank you for focussing on that shifter click. It was worth the attention ❤
I think you mean "button press".
