@ThePaulanthony62 I guess I was looking at the date of your comment. Whoops
@TheUberPlayboy How ancient is the one-77? The first ones were delivered like a month ago. Back when this video was made, it didnt exist yet..
@ThePaulanthony62 Really One-77 is the fastest Aston ever built
Stupid Aussie, its not the fastest Aston ever built, the Vanquish was. Check it out on Top gear UK review.
@arospeed169
I’m not offended.. and ofcourse I like speed too.
But I don’t like sportcars because they’re quicker than something else.
If a car does 0-100 in 5 seconds… then I’ll be VERY pleased.
Having a car do it in 4.0 DOES NOT make it more fascinating to me.
Quick is quick
@DutchManticore well i would ( just like every petrolhead else in this world) i’m a car & speed lover
first time i ever hear of someone who likes sportscars but not speed (no offence please)
What about the DB9 vs DBS?
i dont care what Mart and Moog say, Mighty Car mods SHOULDVE taken the top gear austrtaila, lolollolool
place the 8:41
@Mikkothecat right but the performance of the DBS is very impressive cause it beat the bentley supersports around the top gear track by 1 second and it beat the ferrari 599 in the manuvering slolum by a 68.1 mph lane change speed while the 599 was goin 67.1 mph but then again in a drag race the 599 and the bentley would beat the DBS, the DBS has the same amount of HP as the 2003-2008 lamborghini gallardos so if you wanted to race with a DBS, street racing or track racing would be better for it
car advice have complete forgotten that a vanquish S exists 520bhp and 325kpn top speed
i like this car because it can compete with the jocks, like lambo and ferrari, but it is dressed in a tux
Best sounding V8 in the world !!!
Best sounding V12 in the world !!!
Gorgeous car!!!!
ive been in like with this car since watching jeremy clarkson test it.
its gorgeous, makes all the right noises, can be used everyday, and even though the price is very very close to 500 k, i dont care.
i like this car
pussy cat
An Aston Martin driven across the Australian outback? This I’ve gotta see.
WOW!!!, Proper ancient school nice meaty noises, prettiest cars around, and perfectly capable of cruising to the south of france, PERFECTION!
@DutchManticore crazy they could make alot of money if they leant out that track to all the car companies shame , but i doubt even that could match up to the 13 mile nurburgring
@xxdominatorzz
You and me both. Please let me know if you get the keys to a Veyron and acces to the track
We’ll go together. You’d better bring a huge suitcase tho… rumours (i’m not sure!, it’s only a rumour) are that Brabus tried to lease the track for a day so they could test the actual topspeed of their Brabus Bullit but that VW said “No” even though they offered €200.000
thats incorrect the vanquish s was quicker at 203 and this is the car that replaced it and the new one 77 does 220
@DutchManticore damm would be fun maybe if i handed them a brief case full of cash they would accept
@xxdominatorzz
Oh you mean the volkswagen test track.
Yeah well that would be an thought except for that Volkswagen won’t hire it to anyone
People have tried my friend
@DutchManticore yh or u could hire out that toyota track i reckon its in germany , where james may took the veyron to top speed.
