| Re-attempting the sad ending from Top Gear Series 13 |
If you watched the finale of BBC's Top Gear Series 13, this is how they end the 13th season with the Aston Martin V12 Vantage, with Jeremy Clarkson on it. Even when Jeremy Clarkson said that the V12 Vantage is "wonderful, wonderful, wonderful", the Series 13 ending made me sad, very very sad and it made me cried at the end. Don't worry though, even it made the viewers cried at the Series 13 ending, the Aston Martin V12 Vantage unleashed its fury when it was featured at Jeremy Clarkson's DVD titled "Duel". When Jeremy Clarkson asks, "Which is faster? A car or a man?", the V12 Vantage duels against a very fast rugby player. We thought that the Aston Martin doesn't stand a chance against the rugby player's speed but it did, barely.

I really don't need to be sad right now because even though I am utterly familiar about the V12 Vantage, Aston Martin's most exhilarating sports car has arrived on Gran Turismo 5 via DLC, which is available now. For a quick refresh, the Aston Martin V12 Vantage was revealed at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show and it is equipped with a 6.0L V12 engine, producing 510bhp of power and 570Nm of torque. It achieves a 0-60m time of 4.2 seconds and 190mph of top speed. Even though the V12 Vantage still carries Aston Martin's tagline "Power, Beauty, Soul", it's still has a long way around. It may have the beauty and the soul but does it have the power?

Never mind, but what about the way it moves? When I drift the V12 Vantage, it's simple; Plenty of smoke but no cider. Even if you leave as much white smoke coming from the tires, it's taking a hard time power-sliding through the corners but still it corners well. This is much more better than the DB9 thanks to the power and weight. Weight? Oh yeah right. While the 2006 DB9 Coupe weighs about 1710kg, the V12 Vantage weighs about 1680kg. Impressive...

This car is a complete masterpiece and this is one of the most beautiful beasts I have ever tried on this game. Getting familiarized with the V12 Vantage is one too many because you already tried this one on other video games that featured this one but here on Gran Turismo 5, it's all about starting over from scratch when you get behind the wheel of the V12 Vantage.
