Two very different cars in two fantastic settings.

Enjoy!

Thanks for posting. Enjoyed that! It's certainly a very important next few years for Aston. Great cars and great camera work!

It's a lovely video, always liked Henry's work

Great video Adam, thanks for posting. The anticipation for the Vantage replacement is getting tangible now, more and more journos are mentioning it, let's hope it delivers. From what I've heard, it will. I for one am very interested in one if it hits the spot.

Great video Adam thx. Two great cars on some fantastic roads.

Superb video - but still don't like the DB11. That back end is too fuzzy.

As usual from Mr Catchpole, really good film.

I must be strange, the back of the DB11 is the only bit I like!

[HBradley]

I dislike the colour on the test car, but I really like the shape!

Great job on the video - so refreshing to find something considered and subtle that was executed creatively and professionally rather than some extended GoPro in someones face yadda yadda yak yak selfie video. Good job Sam Riley & Catchpole & great PR for baby blue and Vantage!

Thanks for sharing.

Great video. Love the DB11, such a beautiful car. Especially like the side profile. Not sure on the vent / boot spoiler though, would look better with a smooth boot but then without it bad things would happen at speed. Do love the air intakes down the side though

I was talking to someone in the know the other day, apparently there is much much more potential to release more ponies out of that engine

Would really like one. One day....

DB11 looks so much better in the flesh - it's stunning

Of course there's more potential - it's turbocharged! Just plug in a laptop and you're off! That's one of the things I dislike about turbo engines; once upon a time you had to eek out tiny gains using clever camshaft profiles, careful gas flowing, biger valved. Now you just turn up the boost and fit a stronger bottom end if needed.
Lacks a certain poetry in my opinion.

Indeed - that's what I keep telling myself these days as cars keep getting faster compared to the old V12.

Ironically, back in the day, I had a tweaked FD RX7 that could blow the doors off pretty much anything - but was pooh-pooh'd by many for having a turbo. Now that I can afford a more "exotic" motor, all the exotics are turbo-charged!
