There's no rejecting that Aston Martin is one of the best premium British vehicle brands. However regardless of their pedigree and history, Mat has never been that much of a fan of them!

Nevertheless, he's got his hands on an all-new Vanquish, and he's about to see if this vehicle has what it requires to alter his mind! So let's take a closer take a look at this glamorous grand tourer …

When it concerns the design, the Vanquish is an absolute behemoth on the roadway, determining almost 5 metres long! In advance, there is the conventional Aston Martin grille, though in this circumstances it's bigger than normal to enable maximum air flow to the substantial V12 under the bonnet. The bonnet likewise includes two carbon-fibre strakes that provide it even more existence on the roadway. Along the side, it sits low and streamlined, while at the back, there's the Shield, which might have shown dissentious among the motoring world, however we think it provides it additional existence and function. This is flanked by slashed LED lights, and there's a big diffuser below it. And naturally, this is flanked either side by big exhaust ideas!

Most of the interior is covered in soft-touch, costly materials. Nevertheless, it's not all ideal! While the top of the dash and the centre console might feel well made, there are some cheaper plastics to be discovered if you reach low down. What's more, the infotainment isn't precisely the largest or most responsive. Fortunately, however, there are great deals of physical buttons to be found throughout the centre console – a big enhancement on Astons of the past!

But the most remarkable element of the Vanquish is discovered under the bonnet. It houses a substantial 5.2-litre twin-turbo V12, and this produces an extraordinary 835hp and 1,000 Nm – more torque than any other Aston Martin! What's more, this is also 5hp more than Ferrari's notorious V12!

However naturally, a cars and truck of this nature doesn't come inexpensive … It begins with โ‚ค 330,000, and the vehicle we have here, with alternatives, expenses around โ‚ค 400,000!

So is it worth it? And has it done enough to impress Mat? You'll require to keep seeing to see for yourself!

      @tyreserandall1777 Where can you get an Audi RS3 for paltry 35 grand? Maybe a 15 year old RS3 would cost that…

      Exhaust system, not just the exhaust pipe add-on. It’s actually not that expensive compared to more premium brands like Novitec. Search for “Ferrari Novitec” and listen to the sound.

      if you can afford a 300 grand car you afford 35k for a more louder exhaust

      If you spend 300k on a car, you definitely have at least ยฃ1M in your account at a minimum.

      @kwesiistiredthats not justification for extortion. Exhausts donโ€™t need to be expensive to be great. The factory upgrade is 10,000 and thats oem. Quicksilver is just looking for the dumb and careless.

    The speedometer and inversed rev counter was always a trademark of an Aston Martin. Shame they ditched that for a stupd LCD display. Look at the Bugatti Tourbillon, it keeps the timeless clocks and dials.

    Makes me wonder if my 599cc Smart has a winter tyre setting that has been hampering the 1/4mile times.

      Yes. Theyโ€™ve already dragged raced it without having winter tires and it did 10.9 second quarter mile

      โ€‹@thomasgrabkowski8283Might be even quicker with independent rear wheel braking so you don’t have to bother with keeping the front wheels on the ground.
