Check it out here: Aston Martin CEO Revs New 2013 Vantage

The car made it's real-life debut in Monterey yesterday. Ulrich Bez, CEO, took the time let us hear the new Vantage's voice. V12 noise and fury after the link.

 

Great sound!!!

 

That's the new Vanquish.

 

What I want to know is...Where did Ulrich get that hat?
Is that Tiffany baby blue?
When is the first one being delivered to the US

 

Some pics of the new Vanquish at C & C:

it has to be because you never want to go in that shop

That is a truly terrible hat!

 

Can a moderator please correct the title of this thread?

 

I'm a fan of the new car. Sure it's under powered but I think it looks gorgeous!

 

I think the car looks good, but I still prefer the looks of the DB9/DBS best overall from the Gaydon era cars, with the v12V/V8VS body as close second.

Sure cf panels are well and good, but on a road car it's not needed, and they are replacing very thin sheet aluminum body panels for CF so the weight is not significantly reduced, the monocoque itself is still the same VH extruded and bonded aluminum structure of all the Gaydon cars.

The main gauge cluster and binnacle cover is horrendous! Yikes!

 

I look forward to an updated version of the Vantage that has an upgraded interior, but the proportions of the current Vantage as well as a manual gearbox.
