DV7 GT

[williamp]

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned this yet.

Its a new edition, based on the DB7 Vantage. More powerful engine, uprated suspension, and other subtle differences.

50-70 is now 2 seconds (!)

I want one. (Mind you, I'm still waiting for the price of the superchardes DB7 to come down to a mroe affordable price)..

(tried to edit mistake in Title, but failed. I will be thrown out of the AMOC!)

Hi Williamp,

Just thought you might like to know that AM have been contacted regarding a Pistonheads test for the DB7 GT but it won't be available until around mid-April.

I guess the DB7 GT has been overshadowed somewhat by the introduction of the V8 Vantage concept.

Still, looks like they've left the best DB7 until last and I can't wait to see the reviews.

That's great. If you do manage to get a Pistonheads test, is there any possability I could come along too?

I have been in the AMOC since I was 14 (although I don't own one yet)

I could write an article for the AMOC about it (or, use the Pistinehads article).

Any chance??

There's a review of the GT in this weeks Autocar magazine. They like it.....a lot!

[hungryjim]

Beautifull like the other DB7s before it

[Bruce Fielding]

Small... like the others before it, too!

Sat in one in Geneva and there's still not enough headroom!

knocked firmly into a large and deep cocked hat by the Bentley Continental GT.

Maybe, but I'd still take the DB7.

There was a review of it in the Sunday Times Driving section. They said it was a good car but it felt a bit dated compared to the current cars it competes with. "A succeesful update but one that can't disuise car's age"

[Twin Turbo]

I see EVO magazine have bagged one as a long term test car. Lucky gits...

umm, why then?

[tuscansix]

Because it is still one of the most beautiful looking cars around at the moment, unlike the Bentley Continental 'Barge' GT.
