[Time To Buy?] Aston Martin V12 Vantage S

- I head to Aston Martin Bristol to test drive a V12 Vantage S.
Every month, I get questions from you guys about whether it's a good time to buy certain cars. So I have decided to launch a new series called, 'Time To Buy?'. I will be getting behind the wheel of cars that have theoretically suffered their biggest hit in depreciation and could now represent a good ownership proposition.
The Aston Martin V12 Vantage S was made from 2013 to 2018. The car produces 565 bhp (421 kW; 573 PS) at 6750 rpm and 620 N⋅m (457 lb⋅ft) at 5750 rpm of torque from a revised 5,935 cc (5.9 L; 362.2 cu in) V12 engine called the AM28, which would be used as a base for future engines. The power is transferred to the rear wheels using a new 7-speed Sportshift III automated sequential transmission, which weighs 25 kg (55 lb) less than the Sportshift II. A manual transmission was offered for late production cars but very few were actually made and delivered in the UK.
The exhaust on the V12 Vantage S was developed from the company's own One-77.
The V12 Vantage S is claimed to be able to accelerate from 0 to 62 mph (100 km/h) in 3.8 seconds and reach a top speed of 205 mph (330 km/h), making it the fastest production Aston Martin in history alongside the One-77.

![The 4-Door V12 SUPERCAR People FORGET! [Aston Martin Rapide AMR]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/zWgzXlv-O0g/mqdefault.jpg)
I know so many people will disagree, but I would actually choose a Sportshift V12 S instead of a manual one...
This must be a delayed april fools?? STG always so reasonable otherwise...:(
What would you choose: V12 S Sportshift or V12 (not the S) as a manual if there are these two cars to choose from?
Fabrizio Howald he just said sportshift bro
If you buy remove fuse 15 and it sounds even better
Fabrizio Howald i’ll have a manual every single day of the weak though (even V8)
Every Garage deserves a beautiful Aston, Sam
Think you might be right
@@CheslavTheKing A Man who Literally doesn't Know anything About Cars...
Great timing Sam! just sat down with a coffee.
Hope you enjoy
And I’m just going to bed
Totally agree... This design and car in general is so gonna be missed!!
The best minutes each Sunday! Off to enjoying the vid now :D
Cheers Sam!
Oh and yes, we all should buy Alfa 4c's haha
Ha cheers mate! Thanks for tuning in
The best Aston shape coupled with that glorious V12, yes please! 👍
This is modern classic with an amazing engine! Would definetly buy one if a could! Great video as usual Sam!
Thanks! Would be such a great addition to any garage
Keep up the hard work, Sam. Stay safe and healthy!
Thanks mate, you too
The intro from the balcony was like "Brick England in the apocalyptic jungle"!;) As for the car, pls go for it when this is all over!;)
Something about this video was so damn good, idk if it's your excitement, knowledge, or just overall production. Well done Sam :)
A proper car review video with no over technical nonsense for a Sunday morning. Well done Sam
Thanks for watching!
loving these videos, giving us something to look forward to
Very kind! Appreciate you tuning in. Stay safe
great video. I bought a V12 Vantage S 2 years ago, love it everyday. I originally wanted the manual but after driving the SS3, more than adequate. Actually really fun to drive. V12 is a dying breed. Truly a car w/ a soul & passion
I enjoyed watching this. Very professional!! I dont know much about these cars but you very much to seem to know what you are talking about! Well done!😄🚗
I bought my V12S in 2018 and I absolutely love it. I won't ever sell this thing!
Congrats! I'm rather jealous
Check out tavarish's channel, they're doin a budget supercar challenge and he has a v12 vantage
You're more than welcome to come and drive it Sam! @v12grr (we have met before, at Goodwood 🤗)
Hi Sam keep the 360 sell everything else and get one of these
Haha, or, work harder, and get a Vantage alongside everything else :P
Seen Through Glass Sounds lika a plan 😎😁 And by the way, befor you leave the dealer just grab a Lotus Exige on your way out haha
Loved the video, love the way you relate to the experience, keep it coming Sam
Man the DB9 and this shape Vantage will go down as one of the best designs car designs. Nothing quite as timeless from that era.
*"I never really bonded with it."*
me: haha get it, because like James Bond?
I know, I know, this is a really bad joke. I can't help it sometimes lmao XD
Michigan_Supercars , don’t worry, it’s the first thing I thought when he said that😂
The data supports most of your conclusions! Love the series, curious to see which car comes next.
I really enjoy your videos Sam. It always makes me smile to see you in my sub box. I think it's not said enough, but you're doing a wonderful job. Thank you
Thank you very much!
To me nothing nicer than a Aston Martin growl on a Sunday morning. 😁 Thanks Sam
I am so pleased you have the same passion for this amazing British brand. They have made and still make some of THE most beautiful cars on the planet. and lets be honest, they sound frikkin amazing too. great video sam as always buddy. Stay safe
Good video Sam, much needed so thank you! It would have been interesting to know more about the PCP figures.
That V12 engine sounds amazing! Would love to see you owning one in the future!
You really suit these. Would love to see more of you behing one
Wait for some time till everything bottoms out, I think you’re gonna get an absolute steal .💎
Hi Sam, very eloquent peices to camera, with some interesting and valid points. And yes!....I was nodding with agreement about the old flip screen and how suddenly, it seems acceptable and ‘of the era’...very good! Ps. like the new series...very entertaining!
What an excellent Sunday notification to get! Fresh coffee in hand and AutoTrader open to browse vantages I can’t afford as a fresh graduate.
Finally Sam you are doing the review of the car I am going to purchase thank you for this
Awesome! Good luck and keep me posted
once again, great video Sam! Too bad we gotta wait a while for the next episode I guess
Great video sam can't wait to see more episodes in this series
Thanks! Hope I can get out to film more soon
My favourite car content on CZcams. Thanks Sam.
Great video sam ! Looking forward to more episodes
Thanks for watching!
Yes! Needed this on a Sunday!! Thanks, Sam!
Great vid, great car and we need more George on the channel, he’s a natural 👌
My favorite car youtuber in my favorite car! Great video!
This car is so beautiful it seemed to miss the "old model" stage when the new Vantage came out. It was old for about a week then it went straight to stunning modern classic, I definitely would, phwooaar!
Always loved the V12 vantage since seeing it on that stunning piece that Clarkson did in top gear. Great vid as always Sam 😂
Sam is always brilliant!! Sta safe and healthy!!
Thanks for watching. You stay healthy too
Absolutely Aston Martin Bristol is by far one of the best dealers around !! And such an amazing car !
recently fell in love with this car. would love to see it on the channel
Omg I’ve been eyeing this car for a month now, can’t quite afford it yet, hopefully will get one in two years time
Well said .my favourite car and this engine makes it even better. Definitely the right gear box,both hands on the wheel enjoy the steer and still change gear when you want👍🇬🇧
Im still in love with my V8 manual vantage. Without a doubt the sound (with fuse 22 magically jumping out of its socket) is the most superb deep throated noise this side of an Indy car. While it’s not the fastest on the block, it is the most fun to drive.
Agree about the Sportshift as you can get these at a good price. I'm a bit of a fan of the Vantage. Have a 2013 V12 Roadster, 2017 Vantage GT8 Manual and a 2017 V12SM. This just about covers the sweet spots of the Vantage. Great video.
Stunning car, especially with the updated Vanquish interior , made like a gentleman's brogue, special place). Unlike the new Astons
Sam, I too love the 'old' Vantage. NO NO NO... do not buy the sports shift. I had one for 4 weeks. Horrific. It actually wrecked the gearbox itself.. Total failure. Got rid. Bought a DB9. Proper auto box. Traded that for a 458 spider... Heaven. . There you have it... Keep the vids coming.
Liked this video Sam. Love Aston's, more content like this please
Thanks for tuning in! I'm a big Aston fan too
Seen Through Glass I know. One of the reasons why I first started following & subscribing to your channels Sam (about 3 years ago) when I was back in NZ before my extended business trip to the U.K. I’m still here 2 years later, I really must get back to NZ this year to the sun and wife & kids. Love All Aston’s and I like this type of feature. More videos like this Sam please 🤞great presenting work! Very engaging
Thanks for video, V12 Vantage S my dream car
If you get that car, you would be living my dream 😉 would love one and complete my dream Garage. Cool Video, kepp up the good work
What a car! It's iconic status is definitely underrated. And that is the best spec I have ever seen, those light grey details! I especially love that lipstick, throwing me right back to your F-Type! Why do not more cars have lipsticks? We need to get them re-established!
Such a good looking car, and I agree, I love the lipstick graphics!
Totally agree with u Sam
Definitely everyone should experience an Aston Martin Vantage with the 4.7s or 6.0s before they gone.
Even if I win the lottery I’d still buy one rather than fork out for a new one
Excellent video!!! Loved it!!
Cheers mate, very kind
I own a 2017 manual V12V S here in the US... its a keeper for sure. Nothing quite like it.... and never to be repeated. Its my British muscle car :)
Do it. One of the all time greats. I’m seriously considering the old DBS but this Vantage is also grabbing me.
I agree Sam. Test drove the V8S and much preferred the sportshift gearbox.
Great vid Sam. I actually agree - and I own an original V12 6spd manual. The 7 speed dogleg gearbox isn't a great implementation in the 'S'. The box is badly sprung and takes some real getting used to. On the S variant, the SS3 is the way to go. I'd be keen to get your opinion on the S versus non S variants. The damping and active suspension make a difference - and the S is definitely more squat and go. Well done mate.
I loved my v12s sport shift 3. It started my love affection with Aston Martin. Now up to 4 Aston’s with a speedster coming next year. 👍. - stay safe
Another cracking video Sam 👍👍
Cheers mate
If I could choose. I would choose V8 vantage roadster. That's my sweet spot for me.
Great series idea!!
Hi again Sam. Stunning Vantage S in black on Petrol Heads. 14K mileage at just £69.9K!!
Plenty of great examples out there... currently obsessing over the rare Spitfire edition that is currently way over priced at 180k
You should do a video on the R8 V10+, I’m biased but amazing cars for the money.....happy for mine to be used 👍🏼
Definitely a beautiful car, and that V12... Damn. Also, I love the Emotional Control Unit from this generation of Aston, compared to the current one
Please do more with this series! Love it so far! Also, buy a V12 Vantage.... you know you want too 😉
Will get out and film more as soon as the world starts getting back to normal
Seen Through Glass I mean if normal is too far away and content runs out then there’s always Forza reviews 😂 stay safe Sam!
I agree Sam, have driven both. I am an old school guy. The Aston you tested was brilliant. If the car you tested had been a roadster with Lord's Red interior, it would have been perfect.
I agree.. A very nice car.. Which is aging very well indeed. I think any well kept vantage whether v8 or v12 is a good long term ownership prospect.
Yup, I'd buy this
So much style with the Vantage. Would be very very tough choice if looking at this and a GT4.
Great video. that's actually my old car. I bought it new from HR Owen in 2106 and sold it to Leven Car Co Edinburgh in July 19. Awesome car, looking an new shape Vantage later this year. Only V8 now though :(
Enjoyed that - thanks!
I drove the V8 around Goodwood circuit and fell in love. It replaced my Porsche dreams in 4 laps! But the V12 up front. Phwoar
Beautiful car, good review.
I love Aston Martin soo much
Cool video as always 💯💯🤙
Thanks mate
I think before the S all were manual? Love the AM Vantage V12 S. It's my dream car. Thanks for posting Sam and stay safe.
Ah, said that at the end of the video!!!
What a sound ❤️😍
Soooo good
Sam and Joe Exotic getting me through lockdown 👍🏻🚗🐯
Ha don't put me in the same sentence as that nutter
Ha ha Free Joe!
Its great seen this series, it really does make sense and its very well made. I would make some series about electric cars. I mean come on, is the future, lets embrace it
Stunning Sound 😍🔊🔊
Brilliant video 👍
One of the most gorgeous cars ever made
I can just hear shmee saying “YES”
I drove a manual for 6 years, it was so fun, but I'm much much happier with the PDK.
Im a huge fan of the work you did with David Walliams on Little Britain
Yes buy one of these 😍😍😍
Love the content
Thanks!
could you do a bargain hot hatch? like a45,S3, Golf R, Focus RS and which would be a better option?
I think the Vantage is a wonderful car, and already somewhat forgotten. There is something this generation car has that the new one doesn't too me. This styling is better, the interior far more cohesive and special. New one is nice, but i cant stop thinking about this gen, especially a later year. In the USA we had a trim called the GT, which started at $99,999. It was essentially $30,000 cheaper than a regular car, and the only real difference is you were limited in specs. some beautiful manual versions of this car can be found for about $75,000 at the moment, and I do not see them coming down on price much.
Thanks for the content Sam, stay safe.
Thanks for the insight. Such great great cars that need to be snapped up
Nice video Sam. Not sure I agree ref the gearbox, I have driven both and it would be the manual every time for me. That said, is it worth the 40k mark up?.....
Gr8 work
You forget that there is the normal v12 Vantage, it came with a totally normal manual 6 Speed and seems to be the sweet spot of v12 drivers cars.
Damn, this car ages well. I didn’t like it first, I thought it was boring. But the more I see, the more I love it.
I think the reason is that there was a lots of cars with “similar” design, and it didn’t really stand out. But now this general design language is being retired, and as all other similar cars are going away as well, it is more and more clear that this one was the best of this design generation.
Sam, late cars got Apple CarPlay which means you have everything you need with that system, google maps etc, I had a sportshift roadster and now got the manual coupe with buckets, harder to use but very enjoyable when you get use to it👍
„This with a decat exhaust...“ well I see Paul‘s influence there :D
Love this car so much!
Brilliant video mate. Where did you hear about the new Vantage not getting the V12? I've been hoping they do it ever since it came out but if the S doesnt have the V12 I cant see it happening unfortunately
Such a lovely car, I'd have one in a heartbeat if I had the money
Sam you say this isn’t a Porsche channel but manage to compare a V12 Aston to a GT4😂. Love the videos!
