Should I Upgrade to a Vanquish S?
The Vanquish S is Aston Martin's flagship super-GT and since buying my 'regular' Vanquish I have been pondering the upgrade path. Now it's time to let my car go, I headed to Aston Martin Edinburgh to go out for a spin in their Vanquish S Coupe to see what the changes are all about. What do you think, should the new S be added to my garage in the future?
With a slightly revised visual and aerodynamic appearance, highlighted by contrasting accents and quad tailpipes, the Vanquish S takes power up to 603PS from 576PS (retaining the 630Nm torque) from the 6 litre V12, while adding in a little more noise thanks to new intake manifolds and some additional tweaks around the car.
One of the beautiful things about taking such a stunning car for a test drive, is the wonderful roads that can be found throughout Scotland with endless opportunities to enjoy such a car. Thanks goes to AM Edinburgh and the Leven Car Company for the opportunity to drive their car:

I love the depth and detail you go into, Shmee! Keep it up!
Great video Tim. I love the Aston's. Definitely a used one after it has had its big depreciation.
I love your pure excitement! She sounds beautiful!
Hell yes get one Tim. Such a beautiful car! That sound of the engine! Wow!
I was next to a Vanquish S as we drove through the Tyne Tunnel last week, the sound was glorious!
Sounds great and looks awesome, if I could afford one I would 'pull the trigger' no doubt. Have fun!!!
I really wouldn't swap the vanquish for the vanquish s , it is way too similar. Go for some bigger changes and maybe for some new experiences.

Shmee150 oh God the vanquishes deprecates like a rock I swear. The first year you will loose 100k usd then the second year just go ahead and chop an extra 50k or more from the value. Buying a vanquish is literally like throwing away 150k in the trash hahahahahw

Bought an Vanquish volante at the beginning of summer ,just selling it back to the dealer in late August ,loss £1,000, better than a fiesta, and what a car, loved it so much my S has just been delivered to a different dealer. They are producing very few S's. They will not loose heavily, especially the volutes, in my opinion

Richard John agreed they may not depreciate in value too much because, let's face it this is the last naturally aspirated general production car they make but what if a limited Vanquish AMR arrives that means this one gets a kicking surely?
The video that made me fall in love with a Vanquish S, even after 5 years still the love of my life.
Awesome video tim
It looks really cool with the blue parts and the sound is amazing
Hi Tim. That car is ABSOLUTELY AWESOME. I would whole heartedly go for the Vanquish S. the sound the look and the quality. Also the last Vanquish to be naturally aspirated. That sound. Oh my goodness. If I had the opportunity then I would jump at the chance and the first run would be in Scotland on the famous 500.
The color combination on this one just looks so stunning
Love'em... AM's are just beautiful machines!
The sounds at 8:30 onwards are amazing. The transmission’s shifts do seem noticeably quicker and crisper than older VH platform models too. Not as quick as a Ferrari F12, but more than quick enough, and it lets you keep your foot down longer to legally enjoy the power and sound longer than you could on a Ferrari.
At 4:53 I found myself wondering what wheels were in the red Fiesta... I love the Aston, but I got bored...
I was on the Aston website today looking at this very car and then next thing Tim's driving it round the roads a mile from where I live!
And it may not have 12in screens but omg it's beautiful Inside, like it's made by a savill row tailor, everyone is blown away who got into mine
Loved being able to listen to the engine noise Tim - it's a beautiful thing. Not sure if you need this car in your garage though ???
Great Video like always! What a car! There is nothing with more class than an Aston Martin.
That's got to be one of the best looking and sounding cars of all time! I hired a DB9 Carbon Edition for my wedding and it was worth every penny just for the noise!
Lovely car . Sounds and looks awesome!!!
Both cars are stunning
Oh my god, those quad pipes!😍
Love this color comnation. Best looking aston I've ever seen.
The sound of that V!2 is so primitive. Absolutly fantastic!

Buy one for sure! This time do the blue extras vs the entire care in your normal blue.
I love this car!! Go for it!! - and please stay with Aston!
Fantastic video! Never clicked off Doug DeMuro so quickly! xD
Been looking at a 2014 model, think after your review I will bring it home.
I love how much of a businessman you are Tim. You bought the Volante for a purpose, it's now served that purpose and now you're selling it to get (at least some of) your money back instead of holding on to it and letting the value of it decrease.
The center console is actually marble carbon fiber, which shimmers quite lovely in the sunshine
Beautiful car, lets hope you do!
Nice dealership in Edinburgh park u can get a brilliant shot of a Aston from the stairs in the showroom
I told my late wife a bit before she passed away. That maybe we should pick up an Aston Martin second hand. As wouldn't the drives back and forth to her doctor's appointments in hospitals be far more enjoyable in an Aston Martin then in the back of an ambulance. It made her laugh. If I had an Aston Martin even if it was not in running condition I would sit in the driveway in it and make vroom vroom sounds.
The exhaust valves do no react to the steering. Its the idle changing slightle due to the power steering pump working harder when the steering wheel is turned to pump fluid to one side of the rack or the other and causes a slight draw on the engine which in turn is heard as an audible change in engine note due to the idle decrease.
Seems very smooth and comfortable for riding in a land jet.

Hey Shmee - for the record, James Bond did drive a Vanquish in Die Another Day. Or as Q liked to call it - the “Vanish”
It looks really nice and sounds nice😍
That car with the entertainment system of the DB11 would be perfect. I would sell my house to have a car with that sound in a heartbeat
In my humble opinion, I think an upgrade to the aston martin vanquish s would be too little of a change when compared to the vanquish carbon edition you have at the moment. As a regular viewer, I would love to see something more distinct as a successor to your vanquish. Ever thought about the mercedes sls or the new bentley supersports for example? For me this would be more interesting to see on your channel as it is more of a change. However, the vanquish s has the brilliant sounding v12 and just looks stunning! Anyway, keep up the good work! Enjoying it as always!
Woahhh, i love that color combination.
If you watch the video with automatic captions, when Shmee isn't talking, it recognises the engine sound as "music", which to me seemed quite appropriate!
My absolute dream car is a Vanquish S Volante. This is a MUST for your fleet
sound great !
I never thought I'd be able to afford an AM Vanquish but now that I can I really am not certain if I want one. It has been a childhood infatuation of mine too.
Hello Shmee, With you having many upcoming cars arriving (ford gt, merc gt-r, porsche gt3...) are you planning on expanding your current car collection or will you be selling current cars and replacing them with the ones you have ordered?
But than the main question is: is this car that much of an upgrade from your vanquish? I think it isnt, and it is not as special as your blackbadge series vanquish.

He's getting greased by Aston Martin, they are buttering him for promotion of products existing and new cars, which is fair enough, he does a good job at promoting their cars fairly without too much bias. Shmee has always been good to manufacturers over the last 6 years i've watched him, keeps all reviews even :)
First thoughts before watch all video is yes do it but converable so it's a all round like your current vanquish.
looks stunnig in that grey but i´d rather wait for a "dbs-Version" of the db11
Definitely buy one! But I'd wait for values do go down a bit
very nice sound
This color is amazing.
Excellent video as usual Tim

I think you should totally get a vanquish s. You clearly love Aston martins, as do I, and I can see you really appreciating owning one of you do get it.
Push it, you can definitely feel the extra power, it has a revised set up also
No man! I love you shmee and you're spending so much on all these cars yet you never have time to drive them, you're always on the road driving the most awesome cars in the world, driving cars that have been lent to you, press releases, etc etc. Just get a good daily, and something nice on the side like your mini or the morgan 3-wheeler and you're good! :) I know some of these cars don't depreciate but honestly you don't need 6 cars if you're never home haha.

How much more will You pay when you Trade/sell your other vanquish. ?? :)
I reckon that for me, it would have to come down to, on the one hand, do I want the extra little "S-ness" for its additional S-ness, or if I'm predominantly wanting it for touring and as it's still a GT, do I want the more pure "GT-ness" e.g. slightly less firm ride and more elegant/pure GT looks of the non-S? I can definitely see the attraction, but I guess in theory, other-than-GT does the "S-ness" better. But then again it's a NA V12 and the S has a little more of that :)
What is the best sounding v12 for you, btw amazing video.

Seriously tough call between the 6l Aston and the 6.3/6.5l Ferrari, I don't know.
Beautiful car, but what madness led AM to place the hood-release lever in the passenger footwell? Flip your Vanquish if you must, Tim, but I hope you never relinquish your GT8.
I really don't see you talk about the other cars the same way, I would keep it!!
Thats exactly what I would expect from AM - same form but with high and fast revving engine. They shown that they can with Vuclan model, now they HAVE TO translate that into the road. Ferrari really needs some proper competitor like 10 years ago.
Nice video
How about waiting for the new Vanquish which supposedly is being released next year? Or do you think the waiting list might be too long
Yes that's a very good idea Shmee.
Will the "LT" version of the 720s or the Ford GT come first to your garage or will they be at the same time?
This thing is crazy, do it. Just get something special on the looks side. More like bright inside and with out any stripes on the outside.
how do you do the maintenance in these types of car (Supercars)?
Love the car but not really quite like the dbs.. is it possible to make a comparison ? or simply the dbs can't stand at the same level?
Vanquish S Is very nice to see the refueling But would you buy Vanquish S or just a long time?But can buy
Sounds great but why do they shift the RPM needle to go the wrong way?
This car Tim just looks and sound amazing that exhaust note is just heaven. I would want to drive this car all day long 7 days a week you need this car in your life Tim it's a must have car Tim. Regards Alan B
Hi Tim, this is Nick from Porto, Portugal. I'm looking to buy a Ferrari 599 GTB, I've made an offer on one. Unfortunately the exterior colour on the car I'm negotiating is not to my liking (Grigio). I'm considering wrapping it after I purchase it. Just as a term of comparison, what was the cost of wrapping your FF?
Tim please when you press down the gas pedal stop talking I want to hear the beautiful music that car makes!
Tim, if you’re coming to the London Classic Car Show in February, please pop by the AMOC stand, Red 10 will be there & it would be a pleasure to show you round it? H

Hello Shmee I think that u must go for it. If you ask my opinion I will say you must upgrade into vanquish s , it's more aggressive and more fun. Although it's up to you.
What's the difference between this and the DB11? They're both GTs right?
Shmee would you rather have the Vanquish S or the Vanquish Zagato?
Are you aleo interested in the DB11? I'd take a look at it.
Tim, you should ABSOLUTELY upgrade to this car. It is probably the most beautiful car made. I vote to get it in that same grey colour with orange highlights like your GT8. And I agree with you on the carbon fibre... twill weave is much nicer. Cheers.
Gorgeous car
Nice spec
One of the best looking cars ever, so classy
Only a good move if you get it in that awesome color combo
Buy the vanquish s if you want! Its a really nice car. I love this colour combination, it looks really nice
Big fan of vanquish but that is minor changes from regular vanquish, so how about the price on vanquish s?
I'd say get it if you really want to, Tim. But, to me, once you collect your GT-R, I think your original plan that the Volante was just a placeholder will go into fruition.
£209,950 is a lot for that Vanquish S, good move in holding off until prices come down. 12 to 18 months could lead to a more reasonable price, likely still low mileage. It does sound sublime though doesn't it, cracking way to announce one's arrival (& departure).
how does the gauge cluster on a 300,000$ 2018 super car look like something out of a toyota corolla?
I would like to be able to ask myself the same question but alas
I know you like all these fast cars but with all this I would suggest a BMW 330e for city driving I have a few similar Cars to u but not as many(this is my sons account) but it's an awesome car that drives so well. It also does 2.1l per 100kms it's your choice but it has given me so much ease in city travel. Maybe test it to see
