    That looks nice; they really have gone for the GF 60th.

    I understand that the DB12 is closer to the DB III or DB5 of Goldfinger in terms of purpose or whatever, but the new Vanquish seems more like a Bond car to celebrate.

    Maybe the Vanquish will have the Thunderball 60th "Jet pack" version next year ?

    Which looks better ?

    So we’ve had OMHSS, TLD and now GF special editions of AMs so far; are there any more? I think you could get the old DBS in Quantum grey which sort of counts I guess.

    Aston will be making more Bond "specials" no doubt.........They love the franchise

    Driving the NEW Aston Martin Vanquish (Twin-turbo V12!)

    The Astons these days have too much carbon fibre, the front grille is too big and the headlights are a odd shape
    They might have problems selling them ?

    Well, these big grilles have been doing quite good, so I don't see an end to it anytime soon. Personally, tha later DB9 is by far the most beautiful car they ever built. But hey, it's progress. same for the carbon. Nice video, and, very nice soundtrack to this car.

    I think the 'face' of this new batch of Astons looks great, they've really nailed it. The Vanquish does look a little too similar to the Vantage though for my liking: they even use the same lights, which I'm not sure they've done before across two models.

    Hahahaha fantastic! This is utterly insane, but I love it, can't help myself. If the owner starts smuggling gold with it, I'd be really impressed.

    I posted that in the Goldfinger 60th thread. The official video is a little nicer.

    I love the homer in the boot, nice touch.

    Aston Martin V8 Vantage X Pack

    Aston Martin V8 Vantage with 7.0litre conversion review

    Aston should be making more cars like this with a more spacious interior which would appeal to a wider range of customers.

    Actual customer research for those who can afford Astons shows the automaker knows what it's doing.

    When they were making that car they were going bankrupt every other week.

    Mind you, they probably still are, seems to be their business model.

    Yeah so many car companies all over the world have gone bankrupt over the years haven't they ?
    It's a shame.

    Aston have signed the best F1 car designer ever Adrian Newey recently so they might be F1 champions in the future.
