- If you had a shot at supercar ownership, would you dare use it as a daily driver? Is that even possible? Alex finds out with the V12 Vanquish Carbon White.

Says he won't break the law on the motorway
*admits he's cruising at 82 mph*
Nailed it Alex
Haha
Elle Sea Not if it has public access to it :(
Talon276 That's pretty slow for the UK tbh
Jeremy Clarkson attests to most drivers doing an average of 90-95 mph on the motorway
That's everywhere XD even in Canada, on the Highway 407 (generally empty), people are driving around at 100+ mph (160+ kph) until they see a cop
There's an app for that now, called Waze
***** And your point is?
How was Alex not picked to be one of the new host for Top gear?
HE WOULD NEVER BETRAY THE OLDEN MASTERS EVEN TO APPEASE HIS OWN DESIRES!!!!!!!
+Edward Horsey He even has the same style as Jeremy, Richard and James in describing the cars. He'd be perfect for it!
I wish Alex would be part of top gear
Edward Horsey true
Edward Horsey because car throttle is way more awesome than top gear, and they don't deserve the mighty beast that is Alex.
Eating a McDonald's kids meal in an Aston martin
Only on Car Throttle
I did eat burger king :D
i did i one time... ahhaha
At least the McDonald's lady was honest
To be fair, that car is beautiful.

Migix MY EYES
Migix I forgot about that one.....thanks a lot
Elliott Hurst the new vantage gt12 looks even better
Yeah
I actually like this guy, very talented. Commentary is excellent. Hope he takes off from this.
Shahin Tr I agree
Guy has charisma and momentum
Shahin Tr BBC should hire him for Jeremy's replacement
Shahin Tr Could be the new "Jeremy Clarkson"?
tokekkk YES
Shahin Tr Cheers bro!
"If you put your foot down for 2 seconds, then you're breaking the law"

"I'm cruising on the motorway at 81mph"
Ermm.... Haha
I absolutely adore this car. I will own one one day.
Thank you
Toni Sukles Just work hard dude. If you have a talent use it if you don't try to do a smart business and you'll get it !
Looking forward to buy a brand new ///M3 on my side (which is way easier in fact x)
Kaisuke971 Thank's
Chances are you wont. I know people who have worked harder than anyone I've ever seen and never get that far. A lot of it is luck. Luck of what vagina you come out of.
Milkman69ner It's not only the family you were born in. I'm a French teen in my last year of Highschool, my parents are not rich, but i am one of the very best (if not the best) student in the school.
That means that next year i have great chances to pass my first year of medicine school (if you pass it here you have like 98% chances to become a doctor, because in each universities only 15% students can pass it, and that's the door to become a doctor ).
With that i can make 15-25k euros a month.
So yes just by working i can own very nice things (like an M3 or an M5), and by using my money in a smart way i could end with an Aston.
I could even move to the US pass the (easy) equivalence exam and end up earning 1.5millions $ a year (i'm not exaggerating). Which leaves me with an Aston and more.
This show is a great alternative to Top Gear actually
+TheHeavyshooter this and ignition on motor trend channel have been my top gear alternatives since the og crew left
Not as fast as a 650s, not as luxurious as a Wraith, not as practical as a Continental GT, not as exotic as a Huracan, not as much passion as a 488, not as economical as an ///M6...
But who cares ?! It's an Aston !
@Charlie Vetsworth More like does none of them
2:03 that guy with his feet on the window is having the high life xD
Everyday car problems #371: Going £0.01 over your fuelling target
2:03 .. well, that explains why there was a vanquish behind the silver car when you guys uploaded the pic ''not sure if two people or just the driver chilling out'' or something like that !
Haha, great spot!

James Bond doesn't need that car, he has a DB10 which doesn't even exist :P
Nicktrance1 It'll never
Nicktrance1 james bond gets the DB10, the public gets the DB11
Nicktrance1 Nice Ducky display picture, got my Shine 4 three days ago!
Talon276 Awesome, I have a shine 3 myself.
It will never officially exist either.. They made 10.. 6 imedietly went to the bond crew 2 were given to aston officials and 2 are in Astons collection.. Not one will ever enter public hands
has a white supercar and gets "peter" from Sainsburys to wash it with his 6 month old sponge which has been on the floor hundreds of times.....
has a minion profile pic
has an assault rifle pic
must be tiny, cant see it very well
yawn
IYO
"Like a glove"
Please make that a meme.
It is.
There's already one on car throttle
*facepalm
lmaoo
Hey +boosted
Wow first time I've seen the Vanquish in white... and it is PROPER.
Joel Klaus This or Black ? I'd take black honestly
I'd get it white with dark bronze wheels
Trygve Germo Black with the classic aluminium wheels (those you see everywhere) with subtle chrome touches and black leather (with Alcantara floor and roof) and Carbon trim with white stitching :D
Joel Klaus The footballers choice....
Dark blue metallic suits an Aston a lot better.
Sander StreefkerkI'd make everything black, black wheels, Black windows if there's any chrome on the outside make it black

@carthrottle Alex
Car Throttle Its Alex!
shit why do comments not refresh :(
It spells Alex pal
Car Throttle 2569
They said there was no substitute for Jeremy Clarkson. They were wrong !
janrdoh If I see you, I'll even punch you in the face ;)
Alex Kersten oops my bad ,just realized who Alex is lol
Was this shot in Kingston?
Why aren't you a Top Gear presenter?
Why did you show your pin in screen?
He is much better than Chris Evans
+Lewis Terroir yep, but then so is my dog
Vid Critic anyone is better than chris evans
He mentioned they started in Kingston then hit the motorway
He can't win arm wrestling.
See top gear interview
This will be my car.
+Obey Chiefz amen !
+Chiefz Same!! I am currently aiming for a e92 m3, then a vanquish.
Heres a question for all supercar makers as well as hypercar makers.... Why bother making said hyper and super cars on the road when you cant go into top speed?
+BronyOfTruth Legendary Autobahn...
+BronyOfTruth Legendary for the prestige, duh wake up bro, people make money and they buy expensive cars !
Absolutely great review. The editing, the cool music and of course the well written script really makes us feel like we're alex mate, along for the ride ! Let's go have a pint ! haha
frouwoulou If it's a pint of chocolate protein shake, then you're on!
you're on ! ;)
I've been with car throttle for the longest, and man have they gone up. From basic funny videos that make you laugh, to full on reviews. Cheers
like your review because it isn't so serious like the ones done before. The casual tone suits you best! This sort of theme is rather unique and stands out from the tons of reviews on youtube. Great video
Sungho Park Great feedback, thanks mate!
it made me cringe knowing you got a car park cleaner to "clean"/scratch the shit out of an Aston Martin
DTC Jimmy it made me goosebumps😬😬
2:03 DAT FEET
Lol I couldn't stop laughing 😂
Great review Alex, please do more of these reviews, you're good at it
I remember getting goosebumps as a kid while watching Johnny English, when he drove the DB7 from the UK to France. The music, the scenery, the car, the noise... this video reminded me of that. Great job CT!!
It's good that Aston Martin are putting better gearboxes in their 2015 build cars.
Most underrated supercar out there. This car is beyond beautiful.
look at the interior,looks like it came out in 1995
Love this channel man! Well done and keep it up
loved watching it! and off course hearing that lovely V12, i can listen to that all day long...
but does this have a BUMPER to BUMPER warranty?
Pause at 4:54 and turn on the subtitles.....
+SlimSlimy123 HAHAHAHHA
+Super moefoe hahahahaha I saw that!
There is nothing wrong there... Looks like the people at youtube fixed the subtitles!
By far the best review of my dream car love this video cheers
You and me both. Aston has long been a fav and this one might live up to the 70's/80's V8s which have always been my dream cars.
Oh god, watching this with closed captions is too funny. Especially at 4:53
It said the N word hahahaha
This nigga just said the n word
+Iluminatiking47 Come on! You made me watch half the video over again.
+ThePuffin77 but it was worth it! XD
I'm loving that steering wheel. It's so simple with no buttons... it's gorgeous.
06:14 What's up with that dirty look? Calm down, lady girl.
The Curious Noob the steering wheel on my go-kart looks more sophisticated than that, i don't think that belongs on car with that price tag.
Love this review. Alex is very entertaining without the "fake" acting. Hands down one of the best reviews I've watched.
This feels so much like a Top Gear review! Well done guys this was awesome :D
When he said 200,000 Pounds I though he ment that's how much it weighed. I'm so stupid
But brev, how does this car perform when you're smashing a cheeky nandos?
Hahahahahaha cheers for making me laugh xD
Happy to have helped brighten up your day!
This comment made my fucking day archbishop of banterbury
Charlie gorey o neill so that aged horrendously
Oh that's cool, my dad has that exact one which he drives to work every day, love a morning rev. It makes my day, anyone who doesn't have one and loves cars, put an alarm that sounds like a rev. It's amazing!
Great video! One of your best.
4:16 i expected phil collins ??!!!
Same 🤣
@@Kayzzldn what's the track name he played there?
@@jongilejoe7973 it’s called friendly pressure
@@Kayzzldn thank you just downloaded it now 🙏🏼
@@jongilejoe7973 np
Someone watching is bound to have 2539 as their PIN and will be freaked out
Brilliant video- finally someone is doing the Aston cars justice, well done ☺
Great video, i really like the different aproach. very nice!
The fact that he called 23 mpg "not bad" is so funny... In America, anything close to 30 is AMAZING mpg because a lot of people here drive huge cars w/ V6 or V8 engines.
I get 22 mpg in my 335i and I brag about it all the time.
But then again, our gas is really cheap... a full tank of premium gasoline in my car is $40 USD or 25 British Pounds
I drive the 230i 2.0 litre and it cost me £60 to fill.... my dad has a bentley and a vanquish s i think they cost about £110 to fill
Not sure if you know but American gallons are not the same as British gallons.
Thats my car :')
LOL
I wish :/
no it's not, your real car is better an aston martin db8 classic
No itsh not mishter Bond
No its not
Alex cutting shapes in an Aston Martin is something I never thought I needed to see, and yet I am happy I did.
Great one! Love the quality and the humor =)
Now I shall buy that Vanquish with the credit card pin at 6:06.
When me and my dad were at burger King, he started doing a burnout in the parking lot with his amg
Youve got a cool dad bro 👍
One of my favorite GT cars of all time! I hope they update it in a few years when I'm ready to buy one.
Really enjoyed that, great video
So what's wrong with the seats?
We'll never know I guess :(
It's like you are sitting on just the frame of a normal carseat there is little to no padding to support your butt.
It's waaaaayyyy too small, only like an 8 year old kid's frame could fit comfortably in it. The seat just feels tight and maybe not friendly for claustrophobes
nirom1ronoc Looks like the (Recaro) non-tiltable sport seats, like you can get in the V12 Vantage , didn't know they are available in the Vanguish.
Aston Martin should distinguish and offer two options IMO; 1) a 2+2 set-up, with adjustable front seats and the two rear seats, and 2) a 2 seater set-up with these Recaro sport seats, but without the two rear seats; like the F12 has or the previous Maserati GranTurismo McStadale had.
Sander Streefkerk You can actually choose between a 2+2 or 2+0 with sport carbon fibre seats or sport comfortable seats. Option 2 is and 2+0 with carbon fiber seats. The one that Alex is driving is a 2+0 with carbon fiber, the spaces on the back are not actually seats.
Who else has a thing for door handles! I do 😂
Suppokid me ✋
The next generation of The Vanquish is going to be so 🔥🔥🔥 with the new stuff and interior. Hope it will not be so expensive!
My uncle has a vanquish volante but those wheel are amazing and the sound of that propor Aston 12 cilinder!
you pump your gas AND then pay?!?! The level of trust is astounding.
damdomodan that's how it works in Britain. The american way of paying first is stupid because you usually don't know exactly how much you need.
Or the British way is stupid because gas can easily be stolen....
Ty Hutson They have cameras that will get your plate and face.
Völundr Frey that's if they see you pull off without paying, if they don't ever see you pull away without paying, they'll never know if someone didn't pay or not
Not all pumps are pay first, a lot of them in America are also pay after.
Why would you show your PIN number on screen? Rip
Unshippedtundra he didnt, he used that to cover his pin
It's a code. Which spells alex
Awesome to meet Alex in the gym, every week. Great video
Hey you! This was better than all THE top Gear Scenes combinded
well his card pin is 2539 ....
Not hating on the car but isn't 560hp, or whatever it was, a bit underpowered for a 6.0L V12?
S Gabriel Yeah should have been at least 630. The F12 makes 700 and Aventador makes 690 out of v12 N/A
BitchBusters Gaming true. Aston Martin make such beautiful, classy cars but I have no clue why with such big engines, they're still underpowered. I mean the V8 Vantage doesn't even hit 450HP... come on.
S Gabriel The new Vanquish S has 600hp from the same v12 engine which is more appropriate, that's 100hp per litre which is decent
Aston Vantage S: 5.9 lts and 575hp. One 77: 7.3 lts and 760hp. Vulcan: 7 lts and 804 hp......... Ferrari F12: 6.3 lts and 740hp, Lambo: 6.5 lts and 740hp aprox... Not bad for Aston.
great work on the video, had a few good laughs and feel better informed
What, this was 5 years ago. Solid solid footage mate!
is this lexus's million mile matt farah?
Oh, I'm pretty sure I could live with that car....
Another good review. Nice one.
so addicted to his videos its 4am in morning an still watching
Why do people call Maseratis and Aston Martins super cars? They're not, they're grand tourers really.
NikoBell12 210 mph. That meets the literal definition.
NikoBell12 Aston Martin is not a super car? Wow such standards.
A supercar (also known as exotic car) is a very expensive and high-performance sportscar or grand tourer
NikoBell12 you hate style
NikoBell12 Astons are more super cars than the Pagani Huayra.
Aston Martin Vulcan???? Maserati MC12???? Anyway: over 300 km/h, is maybe a supercar with the body of a "Gran turismo"...
So you spent 30 British pounds on 24 liters of gas which is the same as $USD46 and 6.3 gallons, or USD$7.30 a gallon for fuel. Im currently paying $2.68/gl here in the states and I'm not happy about it. I dont think I could afford to drive in Europe. I sure hope the roads are pool-table smooth. Our roads are almost unusable.
It is just stunning to look at!!
Thanks for the rear seat entry/exit procedure...Too funny!!!!
Great video, thanks!
I think its more GT than super. Plus the V12 cant even get 600 horsepower, and yet a ten year old Lamborghini V12 makes more than that
It definitely could if it wanted too the 800 Hp v12s in the race cars are the same one
The v12 is for smoothness. They could easily get more power if they wanted lmao.
Well the Lambo V12 is bigger at 6.5 litres
£199,95, okay, I'm doing an engineering course in college. I'm gonna become an engineer, earn around 60k average a year, and give me about a decade or two and I will buy this car.

+Stuntihn MX why bring up Hondas man?
That's what I said. Just don't get married.
+Ryan Jennings By 2035, this car will be a classic car, and will either be a lot cheaper or a lot more expensive...
+Movies4You I graduated with a bachelors in mech. Eng. here in the US back in December. I got a job offer immediately for $61k. HOWEVER. If you're single with no dependents, they will TAKE Out 25% of taxes no questions asked. So you'll make ~$3900/ month.
Beautiful car and an awesome review
Best car review I ever seen
Jesus that's over $6.50 USD per gallon.
No way I'd own anything like a supercharged V8 or V12 in Europe..... But since I'm in North America I'll have 2!!!
+Jesse Fowler That engine uses 98 fuel, not normal 95 one.
+none none shove your smuggness up your ass. I wasn't talking about the car, I wasn't saying I could or couldn't afford to drive it. I was commenting on the expensive price of gasoline wherever this video was shot. premium where I live costs around $2.10 USD per gallon, which coincidentally has absolutely nothing to do with the car, thanks but get out.
Jesse Fowler the government taxes fuel like crazy
Michael Sedgley netherlands is even worse 1.82 per liter. About 8 dollars per us gallon
I would use a gt-r as a daily driver, not this
evan sarmiento you obviously have never driven a diesel f350, stock the new 2015 making 850+ lb ft of torque, the 0-60 is still barely breaking 8 seconds
evan sarmiento there's a key difference here, they are highly modded and generally not as reliable sometimes running 50+ pounds of boost
evan sarmiento they come from the factory already fast...
Jesse Lees I'm the one saying that a gtr would be better and jussayin, there are tons of videos showing a diesel truck bearing a gtr, however, they are nowhere near stock
Declan kot If their making 1400hp ya maybe but trucks are shitty to drive. They're heavy, soft and the centre of gravity is way to high. Where I live, people treat trucks like sports cars, but they're just not.
Oh Alex, you never cease to amuse me! Please do more Car guys vs non car guys!
bone476 Yessir!
Dat sound!

Joseph Taso you realise he was taking the piss?
The Vanquish isn't a supercar damn it...
Thank you! Power:Weight isn't there.
What is it, then? Gt?
*****
I guess?
Mate, it's £200,000... And boasts a v12 engine. I think it's a supercar you dumbass
max longford That's cute. Come back when you know anything about cars, junior.
Great video Alex! And love your easy relaxed format. So is the Aston going in your 3 dream car garage white?? Cant help think white should be confined to kitchen appliances, and the colour can make a huge to the look of a car.
i love this! now i would buy one if i could, BUT.. i want to see more of this series.
so i can figure which's best.
My dream car is the Massacro from GTA 5.
Omg that car is SO SEXY OMG!
ChokoKingGaming So I'm not the only one... I got the racecar variant in my GTA Online garage.
Yes we know. That's why we're talking about it here.
How is it your dream car if you don't even know what it is in real life??
because i love how it looks and i would love to have it in real life...
isn't that what a dream car is?
***** fucking...
Brilliant car, not a super car
Great review! What other two cars would be in your dream garage?
Love that color on the Vanquish!
Nicest Honda Accord ever!!
200,000 lbs huh?
You guys are pathetic. Get on the metric bandwagon already
He clearly meant GBP even though I am not accustomed to that currency I knew what he meant lol.
I think this video is great! I would love too see more videos like this in the future please! Mclaren 650s next?
when i first saw james may use it in the race to mexico with james and hammond i was in love with the car
The Vanquish is a Grand Tourer, not a Supercar.
Great test!
One of the most beautiful car ! Props to Aston Martin for this absolute masterpiece!!!!
Car of my dreams... One day it will be mine! And also.... this color of Aston is absolutely stunning!
