    It's because the sound editor needs to remove the original copyrighted soundtrack in the background which muffs some of the voice and then he needs to replace it with a public domain track usually tuned more inappropriately for the clip then the original track.

    Must I say that Aston Martin does get a little extraordinary with their pricing, but minus the small cockpits and numerous interior issues...when you start the engine, all of that goes away, away, away. I've had a DB9 for a year now and even though it poses some everyday threats I would never go back on my decision. I'm broke now, but it's still fun. Haha. The DB7 is a beautiful representation of Aston Martin design and ingenuity.

    Bruh that's V12 torque. And that was only just over 400 hp. The vette C6 Z06 on the other hand 500 hp..... and its 7.0L of torque. He did the same in the Evo8 FQ400 and the giant turbo and small engine isn't really suitable for that kind of pull so it lagged heavily.

    I got mine for just under $195k shipped from the factory. BTW the cockpit is roomy...for an Aston, it depends on your height (I'm 5'10"). If you're thinking of getting a DB7 I would highly recommend it, I would love to get one. Look on their site for the delivery from factory option, I think they still offer it on all vehicles. I live in San Jose and I had it delivered from them to the local dealership, no showroom fingerprints on it.

  • @cb3948

    So obvious what happened here. As Aston and Jaguar were owned by the same company at the time, Ford, the XKRR was not allowed to do a proper lap. Because it would beat the old man's Aston in every way. The XKRR mysteriously came back with a messed up suspension. Yeah, right. Corporate politics at its strongest. The reason we never got a manual gearbox XK8 in the first place was because Aston knew nobody would buy the XJS based DB7 if there were a XK8 6 speed manual.

It's nice but XK remains XK. I would love to have a 3 liter engine whether turbo-diesel or petrol. Imagine how good it would be if it came now like the other new models of Jaguar. It would be improved in the cabin, more space, more comfy, etc. It's a dream car for me.

And age isn't a problem, as the newer videos suffer from this point of view, maybe more. This video is just one of them. Great show, just keep up the quality here as well.

Also the ignition barrel has been taken apart and welded back together (badly) so a lot of the time it prevents the car from starting. Getting it all sorted at the moment though so hopefully it will be ok :).

    Interesting enough Jaguar eventually created the XKR-S GT which is similar in spirit to this XKRR. Yet there is still the V12 Vantage S and the DB11 is coming.

    Aston Martins are one of the only makes that I usually find more attractive than Jaguars. In this case, I gotta go the other way. This is probably one of the "ugliest" AMs...which still makes it better looking than 90% of other cars. But Jaguar wins this beauty contest hands down.

    For anybody saying it’s the KZread conversion with different audio being spliced in to avoid copyright just look up the original episode of the supercars in France when they take the GT, Zonda and 430 Spider to Paris and that bridge at the end. The audio mixing on that is absolutely horrendous.

    He's just playing to the British market. After all, he loves this car. The company (and Jaguar) was essentially saved by Ford. Without their financial support, the DB7 wouldn't have made it. On top of that, this 6.0 v12 is basically two plain old Duratec 30 v6 engines (Taurus/Sable engine) that were built into one. The prototype was literally two blocks welded together with a custom machined crank (obviously production engines are a single cast but still share the same bore, stroke and spacing). So yeah...double Taurus power for the Astons!

    94XJ It's actually two Cosworth V6s as found in the Scorpio 2.9, basically. Aston and Cosworth have developed it almost out of all recognition from this, and it's a bloody good engine. The first all-new Aston, the DB9, and its derivatives, were/are all built on an entirely British architecture in which Lotus is rumoured to have been heavily involved. John Egan was already doing a pretty decent job at Jaguar, and Aston Martin was doing OK with the Vantage, with the Jaguar-powered straight six supercharged DB7 nearly ready by the time Ford arrived. Ford then fouled up big time with Jaguar, nixing the XJ40 estate, then the straight six and V12 engines (when the V8 was nowhere near ready), the S-type was a flop, the X-type was just a disaster, and they killed off the 2001 F-type before it made production. Now yes, Ford brought money and modernised production, but in many respects, their tenure at Jaguar was one of colossal mismanagement.

    WRONG! 94XJ was correct, the V12 used in the Aston is two Ford Duratec V6s together, it uses the Roller finger follower cyl head layout. It was penned at Dearborn USA. I worked for Premier Automotive Group. They should have used the Jaguar V6 cylinder head based architechture for the V12. Cosworth DID optimise the cams and ports of the Aston V12 later on. I was involved in the X600 F type and then they killed it off
