    By the way Autocar are running a test between the AM Vantage V12 vs GT2 in their next issue, that should be interesting Smiley

     


    http://www.autocar.co.uk/CarReviews/FirstDrives/Aston-Martin-Vantage-6.0-V12/240232/

     

    comparism with the GT2 included Smiley what a car !

     

    1680kg!!

    ...a GT3 is 1395kg (DIN) so I don't see how these cars can be compared in the article - especially if the V12 is £135k where a GT3 is £82k

    ... I'm really looking forward to the end of this year


    It's great to see you have so much excitement for every addition to your garage (whether it's a Mini Cooper S or a LP640 Smiley) and despite already owning some of the most desirable cars on sale today - the sign of a real car enthusiast Smiley

    Mike - I assume you have already seen this review by Fifth Gear last week?

    If not then:

    Re: My V12 Vantage order is in!

    ^ For design, materials, and numbers combined with luxuary, I think the 0ne77 takes first above CGT, Zonda and other hyper cars. 

    But like the CGT, this car should be an ongoing model and not limited to a certain production.

    Mike, you should perform a soundtrack from the exhaust of all your cars, getting the v12 vantage the first one of them all

    Can't wait untill the delivery day, that could be more special than the lp640 delivery !!!!!!

    Very nice video! Yes, mine is that exact white. The interior will be a lot more flashier though

    Re: My V12 Vantage order is in!

    It must be a joy cruising with the v12 vantage in sixth gear at 80kph, shift down to 4th, and finally to third gear, then flooring it......this car is in my top of the list with the 997 gt3 mk1 and mk2

    This thing makes my Vantage sound like a toy.  I want one of these!  But times are tough, so I must be good. :(

    SciFrog, it's not the loudness of it, but the way the sound is.  Nothing beats a V12 in my book!  (ok maybe some V10 like Carrera GT's)

     Well somehow I like the sound of the Vantage better than my V12 Ferrari...
