I love eerything about this car except the wheels. I'm sure they'll look better in person but some monoblocks would look siiick!

I love Aston Martin and they are really making some lovely cars now a days, the V8 Vantage is an extra ordinary car and it sounds very brutal too but this thing is in another scale, V12 in a very small car with seductive looks is a killer package. I just wished that they increased the HP to around 550 but I am sure there are aftermarket kits for this. If I had to buy an Aston I would get this over a DBS because its compact, stunning and down right gorgeous.

I actually love this Aston, but I am a little bit disappointed with accceleration numbers. 4.2 seconds for 0-60 is too slow for such a beast. I do not understand how much lighter car have same numbers as DBS. What is the idea of making this V12 engine swap to Vantage for only 0,1 second imnprovment from DBS. And max speed is too low too, much lower that even GT speed. It is sad that such a masterpiece will be beaten lightly by Ferrari California, which is more practical and it is a hardtop convertible, and it features much better dynamics. I was expecting around 599 GTB performance from V12 Vantage. IMHO Aston making too slow cars for too high price nowdays. Just look One-77 - Über-price with no Über-dynamcis at all, this car looks like a bad joke if compred with even cheaper Über-peformance Bugatti Veyron or unique Pagani Zonda Cinque.

If I were to win the lotto, I'd get this car as a white convertible with black and white interior. = T My psychobio degree's not doing a whole lot for me in this economy. What a bad time to graduate.

Kind of upset this wont make it to the shores, as I would have loved to pick one up when depreciation set in LOL... Seriously though, that is one hell of a car, something I would seriously consider at the right price over anything else!

Glad I cant afford one in our current economic condition, too many wild cars to choose SL65 BS, V12 Vantage RS, DBS Volante, 599 GTE wow.
