Can Aston's new Vantage mix it with the best from Porsche? This, or a 911 Turbo?

im german and id pick a vantage. for the looks, to be quirky different and it has style. ( and i would def hack the ECU to have something like 400 HP mode, bcs the rear axle cant take that much punishment IMHO)

I'm a big 911 fanboy, but... But just look at the Vantage, holy hell it's so beautiful.

@@muaawiyahkadwa1589 , I can assure you that it most definitely is AMGs system for the most part but tweaked for the Aston. It works identically (becomes active by an extended press of the stability control button), and uses the exact same dash graphic from the facelift 2019 GT R. There is no way Aston would invest a huge sum into their own TCS when the AMG one used to control the same engine is readily available!

Respect to Lawrence Stroll because he's bankrolled these improvements and told them in no uncertain terms that there can be no more excuses.

Surely not a bad thing having Jethro on the team! Jethro is not only a great motoring journalist and driver, but he actually knows what he's talking about like Harris and catchpole. Rory on autotrader doing a great job too. However, compare this review to Carwow review on the same car. Matt's a great guy, a pretty good journalist, but when it comes to reviewing and driving the car, they are worlds apart! However, most of the internet audience are focused upon 1/4 mile times and 0 to 60 rather than the mechanical knowledge, emotion, and feeling of driving the car. Regarding the Aston. Definitely a step in the right direction. Wish it had a better gearbox but it looks wonderful inside/out and drives special.

By FAR the best looking Vantage yet

More Jethro please. Back end (of the car) looks a mess but otherwise a big improvement.

The engine and exhaust sound fantastic 👌 and it looks great inside and out. Honestly like the Aston Martin F1 team, I think Lawrence Stroll has done amazing things with the company and positive changes all around.

Great review. Honestly can't see a 911 ever being knocked off the top rung. Porsche's genius is its ability to say one and sometimes two or three steps ahead of the competition.

The power …… amazing. The front end I prefer the old one. It’s like they went back to the past. The shape below at the back still amazing but could have been better. Retro design with advanced technology🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

I had a beautiful Skyfall Silver 2021 Vantage. It was a great car and gorgeous. I don’t like what they’ve done to the front with the new version but everything else looks amazing. I’d have this over a 911 and most Ferraris any day.

Jethro and TG moniker were the reasons why I decided to watch this review of the Aston Martin Vantage. He didn't disappoint and neither did 007's latest ride.

This is the 'base' starting point for Vantage, so saying you want it to be a bit more aggressive in aesthetics, will surely happen in later variants? Previous gen one had the same treatment, so why wouldn't this? This is the most excited I have been about a Vantage for some time.

I would love to see a side by side comparison with the Lexus LC 500...

Great to see that the panel gap division is still winging it. The bonnet looks “great”😂

Aston design with Merc engineering, it clearly works!

Até que enfim a Aston Martin acertou no design desse carro, só faltou uma dieta e oferecer o opcional de cambio manual

I wasn't sold on the previous one. This one!? Looks like an "Aston" and boy is it beautiful! TAKE MY MONEY...said my empty wallet.

rear looks awesome, can't sadly say that about the front. Still a good looking car!

looks really nice

Glad to see Jethro doing videos for TG again.

Best looking Aston since the DB9. The One-77 was amazing too

So much better looking than the last one

Is the car built on the new AMG GT chassis?

More or less the same HP as a Corvette Z06. I've driven the latter its an insane amount of power. I'm digging the color. And that sound is music to the ears.

06 corvette z06- 200mph-505hp 24 vantage -202mph- 656hp Haven’t finished the video yet, but this has to the the result of a speed limiting, right? In addition, those wheels. Incredible.

thank you Jethro ,,, this vantage is surely an upgrade from its predecessor look and performance wise however when compared with 2017 vantage GT v8 manual that was offered for about 116,000 $ i am not sure it looks better nor its more fun to drive there for double the price is not justified IMHO

Its a really a well built British Car but the problem is when you compare it with Porsche 911 turbo. Both were built with a totally different approach, these rivalry will never end.

Now that’s a review 👍🏻

Finally it looks good now. 2017 was last of good year. too bad for the ones who bought 2018 - 2023. and now 30% more power as well

Nicer looking than the DB12 IMHO, less fussy. But it's too boy racer at the moment. 5 colours of carbon and alcantara as the trim inlay options on the configurator and no veneers available.

They've looked at what is selling atm I guess. Least it isn't electric.

A.M. looks like to have finally arrived on the zone but it is still no replacement for an equivalent mid engined sports car. It is a fine balance between amazing looks now with substance and its mid engined competition. For many people a car that looks so amazing, a car that looks way much better than all its competitors and that on top of that finally has substance will just make the deal even if it will never handle like a mid engined machine. Shame the paddles on the steering column have been moved to the wrong place...Still Happy days A.M. better sales are coming.

you absolute Jethro Bovingdon!

How u go from carbon seats to regular seats on the street

The exterior is, in my opinion, up a notch as compared to the DB12. The DB12's front is just a bit too muscular, too wide, losing a bit of that typical DB elegance.

Strange you’re the only one so far that has criticized the brakes?

Good to see Jethro

i do love the color. great vibes

Nope. The last model was iconic - always looked like a ferocious prototype worthy of challenging the 911. The interior on this one is obviously miles ahead though.

It's got all the right ingredients for a bonkers fast sports/race car. Just a shame it's not getting the GT3 results this season to back it up.

I’ve never driven an Aston Martin or a Porsche. I have a Mazda MX5, and yes it handles well and it’s fun, lacking in power of course! However it doesn’t handle as well as I was expecting, having listened to all the reviews on it. I wonder, if it’s just not the done thing, if you are a reviewer to say that any car, no matter what or how good the car is being reviewed, is better or at least as good as the Almighty Porsche 911. By the way I do know what it’s like to lap a race track and what fast really is, having ridden Superbikes for 25+ years. For what it’s worth I’d have the Aston on looks alone, but it’s never going to happen.

More Jethro please
