I’m in the market to replace our AMG GTC Roadster, was et on DB12 volante until i saw it in the flesh, hanging hopes on new Vantage roadster but yet to see it in the flesh..

Then saw a 2023 V12 coupe recently and was surprised that i quite liked it, just so happens it was sat alongside a standard amg gt roadster and thought the V12 really looked brutal bur elegant, it was a subtle spec sans wing which i prefer, bit like this one pictured.

Just wandering if anyone on here owns the V12, preferably the roadster as thats what id want, whats scuttle shake like? I had a vanquish S volante and it wasnt brilliant in this department, not vs the amg gtc/r at any rate.

Any owners comments appreciated smile

Thanks for input gents smile

Well thats good to hear on the shake side of things & the feedback on general ride comfort and it smoothing things out well is also encouraging, especially after the recent reviews of the new vantage which doesnt have a comfort mode for its suspension settings and a very large percentage of the reviewers slating it for its harsh ride.

With the new car in roadster format probably tipping the scales at 250k after being specced, this car falls squarely in the same ring to my mind, grill, haunches etc making it visually comparable (if not the headlights) but it has the addition of theV12 lump, interior has never been a big issue for me and tbh i quite like it, i do prefer the newer one but i dont dislike the old one (had a vanquish S)

I have other cars for ‘handling prowess’ rolleyessmile so it doesnt need to be cutting edge in that department either..

I take it these cars arent shifting from the time theyve been stood at £250k, do we think haggle factor is helped by the new model entry or hindered by the fact no V12 is currently available? Though with the vanquish v12 announcement, i cant see a v12 vantage being far away..
