You see?! Turbo engines don't have to sound bad!

RPiM5 · 01-11-2016, 06:51 PM

It's like a mix between Fergie and Jesus!

Aston Martin seems to be the only company that has taken my advice. Keep the same number of cylinders, reduce displacement, and add turbos. BMW should have designed a 4.2L Twin Turbo V10 for the F10 M5. Aston is proving this is right thing to do!

Oh yeah and Aston Martin is making some major upgrades to their Info/Nav systems for their next generation of cars. We can expect Tesla level of electronics in future Astons. Woot!

Ah...but does it sound better than this?

No point in a V12 TT unless you need 1000 hp. The whole point is power, engine downsizing to break into China, and fuel economy.

Can't really tell the real sound. This short clip sounds a little synthesized. Aston NA engines are real riots when they startup cold. I'm disappointed at the disappearance of their NA V12s

Hehe well more is always better (most of the time that is) =)

Like:
S65 > S63
Continental GT Speed W12 > Continental GT V8 S

clar · 01-12-2016, 02:08 AM

I think both S65 and S63 have the same no. of cylinders. U mean S85?

I would take the engine in the 3.8 V8 in the 675LT over the Aston 5.2 V12 any day. More power less weight.

No specs yet on the upcoming Aston engine. We'll see how it goes

I'll have some LFA all motor, motor and end the debate. The greatest sounding street engine EVER!

+1
And also flat max torque in wide range...
That's why McLaren is so fast

LOL took them long enough to switch from the TOM TOM look alike system that's been in the car since 2003 lmao

2016 Vanquish

2005 Volante lol

gmfive · 01-13-2016, 10:58 AM

I for one, would prefer better than the "Tesla level of electronics" and would prefer to not have the ipad screen on the dash. The best electronics are what we don't see on the surface and remains as wizardry under the hood and make us feel like better drivers than we are. Nice sounding exhaust though.

That sounds awesome, but I'd rather have a user contributed clip. This is sound photoshopped to an unknown degree.

I've told myself multiple times I'd never buy a car as much as I love the look simply due to not paying for technology from 2005 lol

Heavy. Senseless. Right in line with what Aston is. Sounds good. Looks good. Sacrifice performance. It's a different kind of car. Luxury in mind.
