There’s no denying that Aston Martin is one of the best premium British automotive brands. But despite their pedigree and history, Mat has never been that much of a fan of them!
However, he’s got his hands on an all-new Vanquish, and he’s about to see if this car has what it takes to change his mind! So let’s take a closer look at this luxurious grand tourer…
When it comes to the design, the Vanquish is an absolute behemoth on the road, measuring almost 5 metres long! Up front, there is the traditional Aston Martin grille, though in this instance it’s larger than usual to allow maximum airflow to the huge V12 under the bonnet. The bonnet also features two carbon-fibre strakes that give it even more presence on the road. Along the side, it sits low and sleek, while at the back, there’s the Shield, which may have proven divisive among the motoring world, but we think it gives it extra presence and purpose. This is flanked by slashed LED lights, and there’s a huge diffuser below it. And of course, this is flanked either side by huge exhaust tips!
The majority of the interior is covered in soft-touch, expensive materials. However, it’s not all perfect! While the top of the dash and the centre console may feel well made, there are some cheaper plastics to be found if you reach low down. What’s more, the infotainment isn’t exactly the largest or most responsive. Thankfully, though, there are lots of physical buttons to be found across the centre console – a huge improvement on Astons of yesteryear!
But the most impressive element of the Vanquish is found under the bonnet. It houses a huge 5.2-litre twin-turbo V12, and this creates an incredible 835hp and 1,000Nm – more torque than any other Aston Martin! What’s more, this is also 5hp more than Ferrari’s infamous V12!
But of course, a car of this nature doesn’t come cheap… It starts from £330,000, and the car we have here, with options, costs around £400,000!
So is it worth it? And has it done enough to impress Mat? You’ll need to keep watching to see for yourself!

I can buy a bloody house for 35k 😢
As an American what are these small ass roads 😭 lmao
Looks waaaaaaaaaay better than the Ferrari 12cilindri.
Well I've found my middle age crisis car, see you in 20 years.
V12 neutered by absolutely unnecessary turbos…
The average home in the USA is 270k GBP? Wtf lol.
I want to love it – but I can't with those creases in the sides
The carbon board on the rear brings to mind child safe plug socket blankers

Its bonkers there are so many little niggly things and poor bits of design on a car that costs that much money. If I was spending that amount I want everything to be perfect Not just the driving. I think I'd rather have a Bentley.
Is it a stupid car? Yes. Am I happier to see one than yet another Lamborghini or Rolls Royce (I live in the south of Manchester lol)? Ab-so-lu-tely
the hook is not open from the front windscreen end. bad :<
Striking gorgeous … 😘
I thought that all their vehicles now used AMG engines.
Does it come in auto?
It’s the better car in aesthetics . Sound. But the affinity of the Ferrari in their ‘grip’ on their customers has its own way. But the looks of this car is superb
Whats up with that plastic tupperware design in the back?
Its so ultra gorgeous. Would take this in a heartbeat over any Ferrari or Lamborghini
That slab over a Ferrari? Like choosing fish and chips over pasta alla putanesca. Never gonna happen.
The worst looking AM from the back ever. Just absolutely hideous. It actually looks like a pretty meh US muscle car. Just lost its classy look
1:28, Ice Spice – Think U The Shit (Fart)
Aston Martin team! 🎉🎉
They should’ve put a light bar across the middle of that shield on the back
Beautiful car, but… for the same money I could get a RS6 and a 911 turbo S. If I bought slightly used, I could have change for a blow out in vegas, New York, etc. and it’s not even that fast – 3.6? It’s pretty, no doubt, but you have to have money to burn to buy one of these.
Aah the built quality is extremely bri'ish. 😅
Um brasileiro em seu puro ânimo brasileiro e contagiante
Yeah ….. no ridiculous hybrid system 👍🏻👍🏻
👍👍👍
0:28 exactly why I sub to Carwow

Hand movement on umbrella was wild
Mustang rear
It is a small city. One day I was returning home with my bicycle 🚲, I saw two cars in the traffic. It was drizzling. Those cars were looking damn beautiful. I thought which brands . The water droplets on them were cherry on the top. They were Austin Martin. That was the first time I saw Austin car. Around 25 minutes I looked, thanks to traffic. The Bonet, the tail lights, the caliper , the finishing, wooo. They whispered me to be rich and I liked it.
Everything about it looks beautiful, except for that gaping maw. Can aston please stop following the gigantic mouth trend?
Aston and Ferrari are just trading on their badges, Porsche are more usable and therefore a better car – FACT
That color is awesome!
Looks like every other AM. Not great.
That rear end is a design stroke of genius, IMO
The cheap Chinese car is tech only as thats what they do. The Chinese infotainment will age and break the same and theres no v12 to entertain you when it does.
brasil 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
byawwwtwnk tech. Aston be bankrupt again
1:59,isnt it a valour ??not a victor.
