Yes it is , it’s very eager, and nimble and feels easier to drive at a brisk pace, the v12s engages a bit more in the ss3 gear changes and rewards you when you get it right,
The older one a brute in suit the newer one a hooligan a suit !
Just had a blast down from Aston Newcastle (paul has been a pleasure to deal with 10/10) on the a roads, so looking forward to getting out on the twisty later

At least with the earlier cars they have no particulate filters like the newer ones which are even quieter. No wonder DAE use velocity gpf delete pipes...The older one a brute in suit the newer one a hooligan a suit !

They are really decent in the twisted, but check the tyre pressures as I have found mine very pressure sensitive.
Also the TPMS menu for the tyre pressures cannot be changed from KPA, despite all other tyre pressure requirements being in PSI or bar on the car...Mercedes hangover apparently.

Yes that looks like the car behind yours ! Are you enjoying it ?
No steve not this time but will try and get out on one !
Yes, very much so. It’s proving to be a very effective replacement for the 570s which I sold last year, it’s certainly quick enough, loud enough, and was comfortable enough on this years run to Le Mans and back. No steve not this time but will try and get out on one !
Still getting my confidence to chuck it about as it doesn’t disguise it’s bulk very well (compared to the Mac) but it’s a total hoot to drive

Congrats on your purchase - I think its great to see a few people moving to the current Vantage, (and still loving the older one) as they are offer a different proposition to the VH cars
I recently collected an F1 version. Such a leap forward in handling & feel from the V12VS. I'm still struggling with the size and as The Surveyor says it takes time to get used to chucking it around as it feels so light but is very well planted on the road.
Also faster than you expect at some points
My only negative so far is the light spread at night on twisty roads - there is next to no lateral spread of light and I find that turning into tight corners is very difficult due to lack of vision
otherwise comfortable, huge grip, spacious, too quiet (OPF really kill the noise - need to do something about that), commanding road presence
all in all a fabulous car
enjoy yours
