This Aston Martin V12 Vantage S Video Is A Celebration Of Manual Gearboxes And Engine Noise
Aston has given its V12 Vantage S the option of a manual transmission for the first time ever. To celebrate, the company sent out its chief handling specialist Matt Becker to give the car a damn good spanking on and off track
The ladies and gents at Aston Martin have at last decided to give the V12 Vantage S the manual gearbox it deserves. But not just any manual: it’s a seven-speed dog-leg setup. Read more about it here.
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

That video was sexy
IMO this would have been much better if they filmed a few laps with a camera showing the footwork and a microphone near the exhaust
Watching this video like…
I think I just fell in love all over again
I have an erection
They’re really making this V12 engine last. It’s ancient. Not to mention the fact that it’s two ford engines.
Oh lets do another special edition to make it look new again.
That V12
Isn’t the scene at 0:15 the same one used in top gear when jeremy ending the series with a aston martin v12 vantage and how it is going to be the last of the big engined astons?
V12 Are My Life, the plate on the front.
Absolutely love V12
