A quick video I put up to share the brilliant soundtrack of the Ford derived V12 Engine in the DB7 V12 Vantage.



I like it how it's not too aggressive, very smooth and refined. Quite different to the V12 Vanquish and DB9 which share the same motor.

Sounds nice....

Though I prefer more of a rumble myself.

Yeah you don't get that too much with a V12.

Unless they have a rough exhaust, which these don't they are more on the quiet side.

DB9/Vanquish are much more aggressive with their exhaust notes.

I agree, personally more me I like a more rumbly sound, like the V8 Vantage Aston. Mmmmmm.

Terrific car the 8c!

The supercharged Koenigsegg V8 is probably one of my favorites.. 2.05!!

Koenigsegg = porno on wheels.

Just my thoughts here... but I think there is no cooler car name than the "Vanquish"... my favourite Aston too.

Yesterday on the way home from work, I was followed through town by a blue DB7. Nearly crashed looking at it in my rear mirror!

Hahah, Nothing worse than seeing a flash car while driving, you just can't help but stare!

This always happens when I see a shinny Soarer, any Aston Martin, Ferrari, you name it - almost instinctive!

Last time I saw a DB7 Driving on the roads was about 6 months ago, just such a beautiful car.

I have seen countless AM V8 vantages and DB9's they are all over the place!

Best V12 i've heard in the flesh was in the U.K.
We were in a servo and a TVR Speed 12 rolled in and literally shook our work van on idle.

...meanest rumble i've ever heard
