Can you guys name something more British than racing an Aston Martin around Goodwood palace? We certainly can't, and this is not a normal Aston either.
When the Vantage came out, it was very non-impressive car equipped with a sub-400hp. But look how far it's come! The V12 Vantage S which recently made its dynamic debut at Goodwood is the fastest Aston Martin road car of all time… excluding the One-77.
Thanks to an updated V12 engine, the S puts out 573 PS (565 bhp) and 620 Nm of torque. Because the chassis is smaller than the Vanquish, this allows the car to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 3.7 seconds.
It also sound like a squadron of Spitfires with their Merlin engines on full throttle while they fire their machine-guns and a thousand bagpipes play God Save the Queen in the background. It's very cool, but don't take our word for it, just what the video below.
Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
