    565 bhp. top speed 205 mph.

    0-60mph expected to be around 4 sec.

    price: £138k.

    nice numbers, but the Vantage has been on the market and the all-new model would make sense.

    With 565bhp the 0-60 time is hard to understand when comparing it to other sports cars with the same or even lower power figure.

    Aston have been using the same V12 since the dawn of time and their model line up is pretty dated now.

    They don't have anywhere near enough money to invest properly so continually bring out 'S' editions etc that have minor enough changes.

    Shame, but they are miles behind the competition imo!

    The Rapide vs. Panamera Turbo clearly shows which company has better engines, better drivetrain...etc.

    Rapide is basically a stretched DB9, though surely a good looking one...

    Yeah if they can land a powertrain deal with Mercedes that would make a massive difference. They are lovely cars, but they are dated and well behind the pack.

    The Vantage is an average enough car, I mean you really cannot help but like it but it isnt great to drive. The DB9 even less so.
