The coupe is far better looking IMO, mind you I hate drop tops.
Love drop tops normally, but never wanted to opt for the roadster version of the VH Vantage. Don't know why... it's an amazing looking machine. But to me, the coupe was even nicer. All relative!However, with the current range, I think the roadster version of the Vantage is the pick looks-wise. And then I saw this Golden Saffron example awaiting collection at AM Bristol a couple of months ago...
Wow! Just wow!!!
That and the DBS Volante make for stunning cars.

Pete , your spec looks great - very mean.
Yes, very nice indeed.Is that Minotaur Green or Buckinghamshire Green - they are very hard to tell apart on the configurator. Minotaur is of course a newer colour and thus less common, but cant help thinking Buckinghamshire is the nicer colour in real life. All personal opinion of course, and to be fair Minotaur probably coordinates with bronze calipers better than Buckinghamshire does, which are the little things that few people think about when speccing a car from new.
How about a Trophy Gold pinstripe on the CF edges? Looks great, still very subtle and really works with the bronze calipers
So this becomes this...

Twin-supercharging the engine, in addition to the very favorable side effect of being awesome, gives the car "rapid power," as Kelly put it, and said it even has low-down throttle response because they could tune the boost down from 2,000 rpm. Right now, the engine is making under 700 hp, which, in Kelly's eyes, is "on the low side."
But the team has a plan. By the next round—which will be Formula Drift Atlanta on May 6 and 7—it hopes to have a new engine ready to go. That unit will be a 6.8-liter, twin-supercharged V12 that'll put out between 1,000 and 1,100 hp. "We made a custom crank for the bottom, which strokes the motor to 6.8 liters,"

Bonkers-looking Vantage but the article raises all sorts of questions (that I really don't want answered) about how you "win" at drifting? Longest black tyre marks? Largest yaw angle? Fastest rice cooker? Best Vin Diesel haircut?
Actually there was drifting at Festival of Speed last year and we watched a bit of it. There were bollards or beacons or something that you had to knock off by sliding you tail into them while doing doughnuts, then there was lots of straight line burn up and it was all timed against the clock. Don't know if that was competitive drifting but it was fun to watch for 10-15 mins. Nothing more though, just a bit of a laugh.
Sorry you said you didn't want an answer...
