I was about to post this, can't believe it's gone unnoticed!

That noise is intoxicating, and I love that Aston haven't ruined listening to the glorious V12 by putting wky trance music over the top like on so many other car promo vids...

Wow looks so much better there than in most of the press pictures. I still don't get why Aston launch cars in the colors they do. Take the DBS volante with the brown interior for example.
The sound though!! WOW!! Hopefully they'll make it in a manual version down the road.

Looks amazing and love the interior. I still think it should be the new DBS and not Vanquish in
name but that does not change my opinion that it is a great looking and sounding car!

Beefmeister....thats what I wanted to do....how do I get the image to show rather than the link?
You need to take the links you had and place [ img ] before and [ /img ] after, without the spaces in between.

If you quote my post you'll see what I did.

Interesting the car was registered in May as a DBS! That's a very early car!

The wheels look so much better in all silver, in the newly released pics it looks stunning in Bridgewater Bronze. Would love to see a combo of the two:



Gorgeous.

just sitting and listening to that engine was enough for me....
More than enough I would. The sound of the engine should be great

Thx for the video, pics and story. Looks and sounds great. Indeed let's hope for a manual. If not, I stick to my DBS and hopefully a performance upgrade will be available soon smile

One thing I noticed in the pics, is the small, fixed side window on the front, it is not there on the DBS, but it is on the V8V I believe. See:



I hope this will not ruin the looks from the upcoing Vqs Volante, because such a "side window" normally does not look good when driving a convertible with all the windows down, but also I think most designers will not design this in, and only reason it is there, would be stiffnes (less torque) of the chassis.

Looking at this pic made me realize that it may be difficult for AM to do a manual option unless they do a serious redesign of the center stack/console. Bummer.
