I wish I had that kind of coin to own one of these. Unlike the previous V12V's this one won't tank in the used car market. I think (opinion) this will be a strong collector car. Really it is the only modern Aston that will be collectible.

I love this review. It speaks to the reason why I love my Aston. The Germans and Japanese have refined their cars to the point where they are no longer interesting to drive. They are just fast. The English, on the other hand, are continuing to produce cars with personality, character, feedback. We really need to appreciate what these cars are and what makes them so special.

Love the argument in favor of the three peddle cars.

Agree. I had a 991 Turbo S, and it was bit too tame. The V12 stick is more of a drivers car. The TTS is faster, more forgiving, more of a daily driver, especially if live in snow belts.

The car is perfect besides I'm still not comfortable with the lipstick accents.

Finally got around to watching this. Fantastic video and, despite the goofiness, he really drives home the point that the numbers don't matter.

Besides wanting the car, I'm now certain that the proper response to everyone who advocates for dual clutch transmissions: Taser them!
