I can confirm Mr Catchpole really does go running with the headlight torch on. At a press event I was in my hotel room and this weird lanky spectre flashed past my window - it was him.
That level of dedication helps explain how he stays so lean, but watching him in a recent video… I think the GT1/F1/GTR one…I thought he looked like he was auditioning for The Machinist. I was a bit concerned tbh.
@@colin5577 The legs definitely had some meat on them and plenty strong I'm sure, 6'5" is a looong way to stretch out that amount of flesh so appears very thin.
I hate when they only make a few hundred of any car, then we know most of them will sit in show rooms. Either way, Im happy to see a new v12 car, although I'd still rather find a classic stick shift one!
maybe it’s just to test the waters. The 911R was like that, until they realised how much people wanted it and decided to make it available to the public with the 911 GT3 Touring.
It sounded like he kept making up excuses for the car. I can describe it for all of us: disappointing. Exterior looks meh, added bits look tacky and out of place, that from grill has to go I wonder if you can choose the previous grill which would be more fitting for this car, the interior is the same and it looks awful for an Aston. The old Vantage was a beautiful car…
Crazy. I thought they'd have 5million by now. Light years better than those Straight Pipes guys... don't get their appeal. This is Throttle House level stuff.
Agreed.. He's the only reason I watch the channel, and i never miss a Catchpole video. He appeals to me as an enthusiast, as a frequent track driver and as someone who wants to really know what makes a car tick. Yet all wrapped up in a level of entertainment and charm thats rarely matched. Here's to more of Henry in the years to come!
Although Henry's journalist and presenting skills are excellent, he will never have the driving ability of Chris Harris. Chris Harris is the best car journalist out there.
This is not a car review, it is a short film. I admire your tone. No flashy excitement but real emotional expression. Kudos & keep on with your presentation style.
I actually still really like the interior of the Vantage. It came from the time we're you had all the digital shenanigans but also buttons for everything and didn't need to fiddle through hundreds of touchscreen menus but after learning the car you can blindly find and press what you want.
Takes me back to the previous generation V12 Vantage and the film Top Gear did on it then. They ended in a similar fashion denoting that as the last V12 Vantage, and time proved them wrong, but somehow, sadly I feel you're right this time. At least the V12 Vantage existed, at least for some time.
Oddly, he seems to have missed that this generation of Vantage and DB11 were both designed to take either engine from the outset. The only things left to chance were whether there'd be a manual gearbox in the mix somewhere...and if Benz was going to find any use for the V12 in any non-Aston products.
The legendary sound of the starter motor on V12 Astons...sounds as good as the engine itself! 😍 Loved the review, as always! You will be hitting 1M pretty soon!
It’s not only a review, it’s the explanation of a way of life. Holy crap, we are officially the old school guys. Keep going Catchpole, we are witnesses of the end of an era.
Henry C is the daddy of all CZcams car reviewers. Glorious drone footage over the superb backdrop of Exmoor. I recently followed a very well driven DBS V12 from Minehead to Lynmouth on my 1250 GSA. Great fun without venturing too far into licence losing territory!
I'm just a simple peasant who valet parks all kinds of cars. I get to drive a vast array of cars, slowly. At best I punch the accelerator up to 35MPH. I've been in countless Porsche 911s, BMW M cars, AMGs, Bentleys, and a smattering of Ferraris , Lamborghinis, McLarens. Then there's the Teslas, Taycans, eTrons and Polestars. My absolute favorite is the V8 Vantage. Even going slow it just sounds friggin awesome. The interior is sublime. The view stupendous. It's badass. Love the videos you guys produce. It keeps the dream alive
Nice, but I wouldn't be able to get past the fact that I could have a V8 Vantage and another great car for the same money. Another excellent video though.
How good is Henry is Henry at clicking the emotional button. The perfect touch to illustrate cars -and combustion engines- are not just machines. Thank you.
Not going to lie this two tone color with the back wing looks insane. It looks somewhat similar to what the Alpine A110S updated version and I love the design!
I am a simple man. I see the combo of Carfection and Henry C and i straight away shoot the like button and then watch the video. Loved the opening of the video with Henry doing what he loves to do, apart from cycling. Like always the video was very well shot and presented. Its elevates the car to another level. The end though when Henry says the future is gonna be silent and the volume is cut off, it gave me goosebumps. The feeling of watching a car without the desired sound is just not digestible. Thankfully the ending with the cars start up sound was a great way to end. My ears thank you. Next time I would like to see Henry doing horse back riding. 😬
All the people involved in the video, audio, & script department deserve a shout-out. You guys don't make mere mechanical automotive videos, y'all craft audio-visual-verbal poetry. Peace & love from India :D
Very interesting that Top Gear saw the last generation of V12 vantage as a very special swan song that transcended its factual properties and now Mr. Catchpole views this generation similarly.
Thanks for this, lovely to hear the V12 scream and see the beautiful, well framed shots of this beast in action. Legs were no problem. However, the headband needs further discussion.
You may not like the interior, but it's still a better place to sit than the current trend of designers insisting on burning out the driver's retinas with ever-larger iPad-style displays. I hate them with bile and venom usually reserved for gastro pubs that don't use plates and politicians. The interior of a car should feel like a special safe haven and not a cold open plan office in Slough, infested with roll-neck sweaters. I can remember driving the prototype V12 Vantage of old and have fond memories of just how bonkers it could be. Keep up the fantastic content.
Great video Henry and on my favourite road near me.. and favourite bend! You must tell me when there and can buy you a coffee at Lynmouth and show you some other amazing quiet roads.
Great videos as always. If I may be a little critical I'd love a bit more work on the sound part, I wanted to hear more of that V12 and more clearly, maybe have a few seconds dedicated to that when reviewing these kinds of engines!
Brilliant, Henry, just brilliant film. And my knees *have* given out, but I still *love* taking my V12 out for a drive for no particular purpose other than for the drive. And that naturally aspirated sound of the glorious V12 in my AM Rapide S!
One of the best cinematic car reviews ever! I got feelings of the old F12 top gear review. That epic intro and outro with those crimson skies Oh my god 🥰. I wish the very best for carfection. Also you guys deserve 10 mil
The last naturally aspirated V12 with a manual transmission was in fact an Aston Martin V12 Vantage (the latest model of that very car Jeremy presented). That will change with the arrival of Murray's Automotive T50 though.
I think this is one of the best car video I have ever seen in quite a long time. Carfection always has the top class cinematography among all the car medias. But God above, Henry is a great story teller. I think partly that's because Henry has a rather calm but special voice that can make me calm down and focus on the film, which I think he is currently the very best at this range among all the car journalist. I don't know if anyone remember that back in 2009, in the end of the TopGear Season 13, actually the Episode 7, Jeremy Clarkson had a rather special review to a silver V12 Vantage, which was the lastest model in 2009. Unlike usual in that 4 mins film he didn't speak quite a lot, but just let the audience listen to the sound of that glorious 6.0L NA V12 engine with the despair BGM from the movie "28 Days Later", and remind us that big litre NA V12's are dying. Now, after a decade and a bit more, this journey has finally come to an end. And unquestionably both Carfection and Henry, also the AstonMartin has done an incredible job, and what a way it is to give the Aston V12s such a Grand Finale. -----Genuinely RESPECT from 17yrs old student.
Henry and Carlos Lago are the only automotive journalists that I will watch. You can sense their passion for cars and connect with the audience perfectly.
Man, I miss driving on Exmoor when I see it on film.Highly recommend Dunster to Simonsbath to Lynmouth and loop to Minehead. Enjoyable in any car but would love to do it in this one! Good job Mr Catchpole!
Great Vid. LEGS? Did not notice nor focus on them. Don't apologize, it's your vid, and it's great. Keep going your path, and you'll win the missing subscribers I am sure
As always, perfect review. First thing I did after waking up this morning! Can’t help but think that V12 sounds a bit… flat. Definitely get this without the wing. I can’t help but not think this car is as special as previous iterations, as I think really this is more of a GT12 than a V12 Vantage.

See you at 1 mil!
I can confirm Mr Catchpole really does go running with the headlight torch on. At a press event I was in my hotel room and this weird lanky spectre flashed past my window - it was him.
He'll now be known as The Flash
Surprised he wasn't on his road bike, maybe he was running to where it was stored...
That level of dedication helps explain how he stays so lean, but watching him in a recent video… I think the GT1/F1/GTR one…I thought he looked like he was auditioning for The Machinist. I was a bit concerned tbh.

Henry Catchpole is really the greatest automotive journalist. His storytelling abilities are unmatched in this space. Great Car!
He never says anything negative ... Impressive .. yet not informative
@Alex Alexander-Anderson
I live in hope
Watch the one here and there
Yet no criticism appears
Like a Disney movie for children

Greatest is Jeremy. Clarkson doh
The silly, pointless arguments are so entertaining. Carry on fellas 👍
agreed but the lack of an objective view, gets a bit tiresome.
I hate when they only make a few hundred of any car, then we know most of them will sit in show rooms. Either way, Im happy to see a new v12 car, although I'd still rather find a classic stick shift one!
maybe it’s just to test the waters. The 911R was like that, until they realised how much people wanted it and decided to make it available to the public with the 911 GT3 Touring.
why would they make more. Which would bring the cost down and make it less special
It sounded like he kept making up excuses for the car. I can describe it for all of us: disappointing.

Nah,@@maddog4390- if A.M. made more of this car, it might be less rare, but would be no less special than it is now. 🙂
all subjective mate, Aston has always been seen as an old man's car.
Let’s bring Carfection beyond 1M!! Those guys absolutely deserve it! 🤙🏻❤️
Henry deserves it. Whatever they’re paying him it’s not enough
Crazy. I thought they'd have 5million by now. Light years better than those Straight Pipes guys... don't get their appeal. This is Throttle House level stuff.
Absolutely
@@SonOfTamriel this is way more than throttle house, the cinematic, story and narration is on different level
Most definitely. This is The Most Cinematic carchannel. Many will say they love cars. These guys, due dilligence, Show their love for cars. 🤝💪🏽✌️
Catchpole on Carfection has become the new Chris Harris on Cars! Loving it.
Agreed.. He's the only reason I watch the channel, and i never miss a Catchpole video. He appeals to me as an enthusiast, as a frequent track driver and as someone who wants to really know what makes a car tick.

I find myself enjoying Catchpole's metaphorical analysis more than Harris's clever enthusiasm.
I like both of them.
Absolutely mate
@@farishanafiah8461 me too
I find your cerebral commentary more satisfying than the drol lackadaisy of the average commentator
@@2oldn2slow 😂thank you. I had never received a reasonable response to a comment. Cheers
So glad companies are making cars like this. A crazy, fun car with a V12 and NOT electric!
lets remember the imbe-tards who said V12 car prodution was over 😁😁
This is not a car review, it is a short film. I admire your tone. No flashy excitement but real emotional expression. Kudos & keep on with your presentation style.
Like an American rewier you mean?

Passed you on the M5 whilst you were driving this, you had a big ol' smile on your face.
Says it all really.
I am proud to say my brother has already booked Aston Martin V12 Vantage. Coming in the later part of 2022. So excited for him.👍
This video is just Aston-ishing ! As always with Henry, the quality and story-telling are incredible.
Carfection is on a whole nother level when it comes to cinematography and storytelling. Simply in awe with this film.

The legendary sound of the starter motor on V12 Astons...sounds as good as the engine itself! 😍
Loved the review, as always! You will be hitting 1M pretty soon!
I came JUST to say this
Is it legendary? Wouldn't the 'legendary' sound be from the motors that Aston actually made - not the Mercedes items, tweaked and transplanted?
time code please? I love starter motor sounds
@@AsinineComment hehehehe that's what I said
@@AsinineComment tell me, which part of the AM31 is Mercedes'?
Henry sets the standards when it comes to car reviews, amazing job 👌🏻👏🏻👏🏻
And you set the standards when it comes to reviews of car reviewers! 👌
Very reminiscent of Clarkson’s tribute to the old V12 NA Vantage!
It’s not only a review, it’s the explanation of a way of life. Holy crap, we are officially the old school guys. Keep going Catchpole, we are witnesses of the end of an era.

No way, you were over in North devon to film and I didn't know. What an amazing place Lynmouth is. Roads on the moors are great too.
Don't bother body shaming yourself. Well done film sir. New subscriber from Kansas City.
You should already have close to 2 million subs. I have no idea how you don’t.
The high production quality, car choice, audio, video excellence, how the heck is this channel below 1 million subscribers?
the ending actually brought tears in my eyes
"Just because you enjoy driving." That's how I felt about my P1. It's how we should all feel, at some point.
Think you meant P50.
@@R90909 I think he meant PS4.

Henry didn’t have to flex them quads on us like that 10:24 🥵🔥
This makes me think of Clarkson’s epic video on the old V12 Vantage. Surely this will be one of the last non-hybrid V12s?
What a relief kkkkk.
Well deserved on the Million mark. I still say you do the best reviews.
Vantage V12, 2 thumbs up
I loved the running/driving analogy! Extremely insightful
Story telling at its best.. The way the video came to an end, was actually emotional. 🥺
Thanks for this, lovely to hear the V12 scream and see the beautiful, well framed shots of this beast in action. Legs were no problem. However, the headband needs further discussion.

Absolutely stunning vehicle. And great review by Catchpole and Carfection, thanks for giving us insights into this amazing vehicle.
Sometimes you do get what you pay for, and it takes a consummate pro to explain why, and you nail it with emotion and facts!
Best car visuals on CZcams.
May the V12 never die. Though they are the dying breed I sincerely hope there are enough bastions in the world to support the exhilarating sensation
That car is so awesome well done Carfection! I really glad you enjoyed the car!
Henry is such a gentleman, he doesn’t need to apologize for showing bits of his legs on the video yet he did
Gorgeous ending. And was totally having lunch watching that haha. :)
love the car, love the content, and love u made it in 21:9, thanks!
I was actually at the gym. Thanks for the motivation!
Super film, Mr. C. Elegant analogy - a Clarkson trajectory, but landing on a cushion, rather than a pile of bricks. Take care of those knees...
Henry really is one of the best in the business. Brilliantly produced film.
The perfume comercial vibes in the intro haha love it
One of the most beautiful car review I've ever seen! Keep up the wonderfull work Henry !
Great video Henry and on my favourite road near me.. and favourite bend!
You must tell me when there and can buy you a coffee at Lynmouth and show you some other amazing quiet roads.
Superb quality of the commentary and the production! And yeah, f*** the silent future indeed!

A beautiful piece of film from one of our very best reviewers. Nice drone work too!
Great video as always! Here's to reaching 1 million very soon!
Henry, this review is your best to date...and that Vantage is stunning !!!! Bravo
Think I just saw Jeremy Clarksons old Top Gear film of the 2000s Vantage saying its a sad thing theyre going away. The end of an era. 15 years ago.
The last naturally aspirated V12 with a manual transmission was in fact an Aston Martin V12 Vantage (the latest model of that very car Jeremy presented).
That will change with the arrival of Murray's Automotive T50 though.
The last scene reminded me of the only V12 I've driven, a Daimler, you had to look at the rev counter to see if the engine was running.
Love the N430 big drive feature. Wish Henry can do another 1 with a manual NA British sports car
This is some cinematic goodness👌
I’m sold on the last clip of V12 start up
Ultrawide Resolution! Love it!
Me with a SuperUltrawide monitor: "But it could be more..."
Lmao, for a sec i was worried when you said you wanted to apologize at the end here, did not expect that apology tho! 😅👌
What a nice chap Henry is.
This Aston Martin truly is the stuff of dreams. Perfect in every way I believe.

another gem. thank you for putting out such beautiful videos
The intro reminded me of that Family Guy cutaway: "Running, throwing, lifting big things. Teslik! That's alright with me man!"
One of the most beautiful cars ever made. And I actually quite like the "droopy" wing!
Henry and Carlos Lago are the only automotive journalists that I will watch. You can sense their passion for cars and connect with the audience perfectly.
Man, I miss driving on Exmoor when I see it on film.Highly recommend Dunster to Simonsbath to Lynmouth and loop to Minehead. Enjoyable in any car but would love to do it in this one! Good job Mr Catchpole!
That was as good a video as anything ever produced by Top Gear and far better than all the rest. You are a master Henry.
Apart from Clarksons video of the Eagle E-Type in the summer over the South Downs!
This chanel deserves more views!
Thanks for the running intro
Brilliant vid. Goes to the core of what I want from a car.
I wish more car manufacturers would listen to what we say, after every sports car review you can hear „Sadly this will be the last one“
Carfection always no it’s going to be a stunning video what a beautiful car
Forget the engine, i would buy it because of its look...what a beauty!
Great Vid. LEGS? Did not notice nor focus on them. Don't apologize, it's your vid, and it's great. Keep going your path, and you'll win the missing subscribers I am sure

Congratulations 🥳
Thanks to Henry 😬
Couldn't imagine before this that it would be possible to make elegant looking rear wing, but man that's classy looking car through and through.
Henry makes the best reviews ever!! Keep them coming Henry!
Jeremy NEVER would have made a piece like this.
As always, perfect review. First thing I did after waking up this morning! Can’t help but think that V12 sounds a bit… flat. Definitely get this without the wing. I can’t help but not think this car is as special as previous iterations, as I think really this is more of a GT12 than a V12 Vantage.
Petrol particulate filters ruining sounds now
I think the wing is ok with this two tone color scheme and you have black elements in the back as well.
@@darkchild130 not the filters but the turbo’s are ruining the sound. Ferraris have filters as well and still sound mega because they are NA.
thank god for your video wide 4k format couldnt youtube make this format standard
Love the car..love the sound..hate the spoiler and the black bonnet. Beautiful!
