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 saw and heard a vanquish s the other day and the noise is addictive!

5 things i HATE about the vanquish S
Shmee150 so my man Wich channel is he talking about lol
Vehicle virgins?
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 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.
I am agreeing or now, hence my Vanquish is going and the AMG GT R arrive to replace it for now.
When is your AMG due to arrive?
I love your pure excitement! She sounds beautiful!
Answer is heart felt yes, but can you cope with the depreciation ?
Somebody got straight to the kicker! Very true
watching this vid again and I'd get one, only here once and all that.
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?
Hell yes get one Tim. Such a beautiful car! That sound of the engine! Wow!
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.
Sounds great and looks awesome, if I could afford one I would 'pull the trigger' no doubt. Have fun!!!
Love'em... AM's are just beautiful machines!
I was next to a Vanquish S as we drove through the Tyne Tunnel last week, the sound was glorious!
At 4:53 I found myself wondering what wheels were in the red Fiesta... I love the Aston, but I got bored...
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 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.
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.
Years later he has 10+
Next video: I've sold all my cars & got myself an electric bike 🚲
Awais X he should they go the same speed as he drives
It looks really cool with the blue parts and the sound is amazing
The color combination on this one just looks so stunning
Great Video like always! What a car! There is nothing with more class than an Aston Martin.
Yes man do it I love your videos. I had a Gallardo for a while and just purchased a Performente last month do go for it Tim
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.
I think there's a point in that, it's not 'that much' of an upgrade, for potentially a lot of money
Id just get a different exhaust for the vanquish instead of going for the s.
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 :)
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!
Awesome video tim
The video that made me fall in love with a Vanquish S, even after 5 years still the love of my life.
I love this car!! Go for it!! - and please stay with Aston!
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 ???
excellent job again by shmee !!!!...following for 3 years and counting
Thanks for the support!
Love this color comnation. Best looking aston I've ever seen.
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!
Lovely car . Sounds and looks awesome!!!
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
Hey Shmee - for the record, James Bond did drive a Vanquish in Die Another Day. Or as Q liked to call it - the “Vanish”
Oh my god, those quad pipes!😍
Tim please when you press down the gas pedal stop talking I want to hear the beautiful music that car makes!
Buy one for sure! This time do the blue extras vs the entire care in your normal blue.
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!
It looks really nice and sounds nice😍
Been looking at a 2014 model, think after your review I will bring it home.
Beautiful car, lets hope you do!
looks stunnig in that grey but i´d rather wait for a "dbs-Version" of the db11
First thoughts before watch all video is yes do it but converable so it's a all round like your current vanquish.
Fantastic video! Never clicked off Doug DeMuro so quickly! xD
Woahhh, i love that color combination.
Nice dealership in Edinburgh park u can get a brilliant shot of a Aston from the stairs in the showroom
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.
Both cars are stunning
Definitely buy one! But I'd wait for values do go down a bit
The center console is actually marble carbon fiber, which shimmers quite lovely in the sunshine
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!
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.
The sound of that V!2 is so primitive. Absolutly fantastic!
Seems very smooth and comfortable for riding in a land jet.
I really don't see you talk about the other cars the same way, I would keep it!!
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.
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
sound great !
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.
Hi yes you should and must thanks for this pure engine moment
Excellent video as usual Tim
Adam Herbert thanks man!
I got pictures of this Aston Martin car, its so beautiful.
why are astons' gorgeous on the outside but so damn ugly on the inside, just look at that steeringwheel an totally outdated counters 🤢
They have been heavily updated with DB11, and will be also in new Vantage next year
If you have ever sat in one , you will understand, they are gorgeous ,the craftsmanship is stunning, try it
The DB 11, Although more technically advanced and 911's have not patch on the vanquish
Yeah that's the interior of a car from 2008, it's quality with the materials but looks so damn basic and outdated, they need to make it more modern
Paladin No manufacturer would ever completely redesign the interior on a facelift model, especially on a car that doesn't sell in big numbers.
Push it, you can definitely feel the extra power, it has a revised set up also
very nice sound
My absolute dream car is a Vanquish S Volante. This is a MUST for your fleet
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.
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.
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.
Yes that's a very good idea Shmee.
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 :)
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.
£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).
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.
Nice video
This color is amazing.
Hey Shmee150, great video as always.
I would say that you should upgrade your Vanquish, even tho it is an awesome car. But you should not change it with the S.
Everybody is different, but my Dad sold his Vanquish (it wasnt a carbon edition) and bought the Vanquish S, just like what you are thinking about. But after sone time he noticed, that the S didnt have enough changes. Yes, the S has a awesome sound, and some nice little features, but i dont think that this is the car for your upgrade.
Long story short, he sold the S and bought a DB11, an awesome car btw.
But if you love the car you should get it!
Have an awesome day :)
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
I will not be at the show unfortunately.
Only a good move if you get it in that awesome color combo
How much more will You pay when you Trade/sell your other vanquish. ?? :)
That rear end is sexy as hell. This is definitely not a typical Aston. Love it.
Buy the vanquish s if you want! Its a really nice car. I love this colour combination, it looks really nice
OH SHMEE YES PLEASE !!! THAT V12 SOUND IS OUT OF THIS WORLD ....
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
Just wait until the prices drop some more, first enjoy your other cars!
One of the best looking cars ever, so classy
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.
fyi bond did infact get a vanquish in casino royal and quantum :) love your videos btw.
COMMANDERHAWK22 sorry pal. That was a DBS.
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.
The only thing that I don't really like much about this car is wheels. It isn't that they're ugly. But they just don't look as nice as the optional one offered on the regular Vanquish model, and the Vanquish Zagato, in my opinion.
That Plate makes my Day !!!
SKI7 DYY = SKIT DAY
xD
I honestly don't see why you would. It's more of a cross grade than an upgrade. If it had the DB11 interior and infotainment package, then it would be a yes
This looks SO much better than the DB11
For me, current generation Vanquish (especially Vanquish S) is the most beautiful AM ever made. It hase just too much style and presence, great engine and exhaust note. I really like this sepc, it just looks different and special, not that usual boring black/white/silver car, but only if it had carbon interior like yours... All in all if you are able to upgrade to Vanquish S, than why not.
Hi Shmee.
Why not "upgrading" to an Aston Martin DBS? Exactly how we have seen it in the James Bond Movies. Now that´s a real beauty.
The current Vanquish surely is a beauty as well, but I personally would not go for it (if i had the money ;)) because of the rear end. The DBS is what I call perfect. From each angle. Yes, it´s an older platform. And probably, it is not produced anymore. But as you go for a carefully groomed used one with low mileage, you save some money. But way more important: You drive one of the most beautiful cars ever made.
Just my opinon
Cheers.
Yessss bro that's all I have been tryna tell u in Comment section!!!
Shmee please come to Ignition on the Saturday!!
I cannot, I am only there on Friday.
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
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
"Damn that thing is sexy!!"
I literally said that out loud.. mid shower..
My phone struggled to process the speed at which I clicked this vid😂😂
