New V12Vs in the Metal

[TGT]

Hi all
For anyone that's interested, here is a selection of recent video's showing the new V12Vs testing at brands hatch, nurburgring and a few car shows around the country over the summer. Sorry to be boring, but I guessed most of you have better things to do than to trawl youtube....me on the other hand!?

Really enjoyed those vids thanks for posting!

Can anyone tell me more about those wheels on the V12VS?
They are still 19's right? But I'm assuming they're quite a bit wider than standard V8V wheels correct?
They appear to fill the arches really well.

And I particularly like the simple style. Like an updated version of the standard mark 1 V8V alloys.

Same size as V12V wheels and tyres.

Thank you Terry, great viewing.

We have now become so used to seeing the V12VS in yellow (a popular colour for publicity shots), that I felt perhaps the Nürburgring car did not really 'shout' S model. That famous Aston Martin word perhaps, understated.

At Brands Hatch, there were certainly some unusual lines through Surtees.

Do any IT experts on this forum, know how to save the video files? Downloading seems to have become impossible recently.

Yup, dead easy.

Goto keepvid.com and paste in the youtube links above one at a time and it will let you save out the file in any of the resolutions available for the video.

Thank you very much Adam.

That is great, because many of the other software programs have recently stopped working.

I go on quite a few track days with erm...... experienced drivers..... who take some very interesting lines

I am sure therefore Cockernee, that you would clip the apex at Surtees. Quite a tricky corner, with braking after the first apex, and the secondary change of direction. The off-line drivers in the film, would of course have to deal with a much sharper right turn, with a consequent loss of momentum. Just that one error would make quite a difference to the lap time.

It was probably a prospective customer day, so it would be the cheque book that is much more important to Aston Martin. Perhaps I should not be commenting on driving ability.

I noticed a LOT of export models in use.. most of them no doubt off to the US.
