Aston Martin's Final V12? - £315k DBS 770 Ultimate | Top Gear

Welcome to the last of the old guard. You’ve now seen the new DB12, with its delectable-looking interior and strictly eight cylinders under the bonnet. That’s where Aston Martin is going. The £315,000 DBS 770 Ultimate is where it’s been.

On the face of it, a DBS with more power, Valkyrie-esque wheels and a big nostril in the carbon clamshell bonnet isn’t big news. But when you delve deep into the Ultimate, you discover the tweaks Aston has made to the steering and handling have turned this big bad old warhorse into the finest V12 GT the company has produced. Ever.

Top Gear magazine’s Ollie Kew has selflessly impaled himself on the Ultimate’s brutal carbon fibre seat bolsters to explain why. If this is the V12’s swan-song, what a way to go…

I distinctly remember clarkson doing this exact "last v12 aston we'll ever see" film about the v12 vantage.... that was a decade ago!

[Tay_James]

This thing is absolutely stunning! BMW designers take note..

[rare]

One of the best looking cars in production this, absolutely stunning. I love it. I don’t care how many compromises you would have to make with the somewhat dated interior etc…it looks incredible!

Whoever the designer has been at Aston Martin for the past few years deserves a bonus, so many winners. They're turning out much more beautiful and maturely designed cars than the other manufacturers right now.

This car is the epitome of its not what's on the inside that counts. Unbelievably beautiful exterior.

[JS-hupv]

Aston does some incredible bodywork. I saw a few Astons in person while in Scotland a few years ago. Collectively I’m convinced that they’re the most beautiful cars made (exterior).

Aston Martin's V12 is always reminds me that Jeremy Clasrkson's V12 Vantage review. It was wonderful, wonderful, wonderful.

[cipcipik]

I had the pleasure to work on these beautiful cars before to leave mother factory. It’s also a pleasure to see someone appreciate your work 😊

[Funpopular_Opinion]

This is absolute perfection in styling but for the price, there's no way I don't pick an 812 over this.

Thanks for the review!
Something: I don't understand the obsession for Apple Car Play and Android Auto. Last time I checked, you had to avoid distractions while driving.
A bluetooth connection for calls and music is more than enough. Texts, Tik Tok, FB and Insta shouldn't be allowed while driving.

Aston making a big mistake by not having the v12 in the db12 and in the future... The sound of the v12 is what makes it special.

[zubairahmed]

Somehow this video reminds me of Clarkson’s review of AM Vantage.. they should have played “an ending” at the end of the video… what an absolute beauty of a car!!

[MV-ypil]

This car is litteraly a work of art. Pure masterpiece

[RaiKeePubgM]

Happy to say, that I have been in the process of producing the carbon fiber bonnet

[Andrew-zxwx]

Such an iconic, gorgeous design and an amazing engine.

[TRXSH]

I have a 2022 DBS 770 and I absolutely love it!

[Schmitzelhaus]

Kudos, that Bond reference was so spot on and clever! 😁👌

[larnellefredericks]

It's about authenticity more than it is about having everything everyone else has on the market.

[Mbiizozo]

When that new Aston Martin interior comes through, they'll be the best GTs, period. Absolutely stunning cars.

There is no way he closed that door by himself at 5:38
