Get it? Because see Aston is the brand associated with James Bond, but here they’re using the word ‘bond’ to mean a strong connection between the driver and the car. That’s so clever. What a smart and clever thing to write.

What an original idea!

This made me giggle harder then it should of, thank you.

I for one really like the looks & especially the exhaust, Lexus did it like decades ago & I thought it was cool then, its not a recent thing, $200k starting & $300k specced though...
the thing for me is like, it justifies the price when you actually compare it to whats on sale, LC500 is on its way out, the turbo/alferi/cgt etc. are the same-or-more, if you can get one, they tightened it up
but I just think mercedes could make just as good or better a car for a 50-100k less. They don't. But they totally could if they got their head in the game

Mercedes should make a similar car and give it side exhausts like in the G63.

I was about to say Lexus is still doing the exhaust thing but the is500 and rcf are discontinued ;(

can't wait to pick this up for $100k in a decade.

It's a beautiful looking car inside and out, but like.... Who's actually buying these? For the money I feel like you can get a much better vehicle.

Some of these new luxury/exotic car exhaust systems are certainly an interesting choice.
Between the new RS5, Turbo S, and now this.

The Audi looks like the exhaust I'd stick on my car in Need for Speed Underground 2. My mom would call them poop blasters whenever she saw it.
I think the DB12S looks fine. The square bits surrounding it are a bit jarring but nothing too offensive.

I don't mind the DB12S exhaust (although I certainly don't love it). The other two I would describe as incoherent relative to the rest of the car.

Interesting? How polite of you.

O rather have the base model. Or a Vantage for a more sportier drive. But actually the Vanquish for the V12.
