I love the V12 Vantage AMR, call me crazy. That stripe package combined with the manual gearbox, it just does it for me. It is a proper throwback to old school sports cars.

I really think the ‘regular’ V12 Vantage S is the sweet spot. While the special editions are cool, it’s often the case that they come with compromises. The S model provides all the performance you could want without any of the styling or price excess.

The Zagato edition, hands down. This is no ordinary V12 Vantage, this is a piece of automotive art. It’s the only thing on the road with bodywork like this.

I'm a fan of the V600. This was the perfect send off for the previous generation Vantage, and the fact that there were only 14 made (7 coupes, 7 roadsters) makes this very special indeed.
Is the Aston Martin V8 Vantage S Coupe a car worth the premium over the normal V8 Vantage?

Absolutely worth it. As a proper sports car rather than just a pretty GT, the S model feels sharper to handle and offers extra power.

Nah, save your money. The regular V8 Vantage is fantastic as it is, and you'll get more out of that money spent on some aftermarket upgrades.

Well it depends. If you’re a hardcore driving enthusiast then you need to take the S. For casual weekend drives, probably not.

I would choose the S. The fact that the exhaust note is improved for a mere premium is worth it just for the fact that it sounds absolutely glorious!

I’m honestly more of the thought that it’s more about exclusivity than performance. Really, you’re paying for it. Think of the badge and bragging rights.

Driving both, the S is far better on a track, but the difference is negligible on the street. Save your cash.

The S model retains its value better so, in the end, it may actually be cheaper if you intend to sell it after a few years.

That extra money would go towards maintenance and mods. I don't have the budget for these cars to be cheap to run so having a buffer is smart.
Is the Aston Martin V8 Vantage S Coupe a car worth the premium over the normal V8 Vantage?

Why not; if you can afford it. It is short life, and the S is just a little bit more special. But if you don’t, you will wonder what if… forever.

V8 Vantage is already overkill for most roads, the regular V8 one. If you’re not going to be taking it to track days on a regular basis, the S is wasted.

German cars are far more livable on a daily basis. The ergonomics aren’t good for commuting, and the Aston’s tech feels outdated.

Probably the best daily driver of the bunch is the AMG GT, though the Aston gets more heads turned. Depends on your priorities.

The Germans will be more reliable for daily use. Aston’s are better, but they are more prone to hull breaks.

I will say that the 911 is the king of the daily sports cars, but the Aston is most fun. It's a purely emotional vs. a purely rational decision.

The Germans get tech and practicality, but the Aston’s interior is more special. You always wear a tailored suit.

If you consider yourself as someone who would daily drive the car, it is the Porsche. Who has time for safe choices when life is so short – go Aston!
