Hot take - the Vanquish is a better car than the new DBS. I was genuinely surprised how much I loved that car. I also prefer the Vanquish interior over the DBS. I’d drive a DBS but the depreciation would be hard to stomach.

The drivetrain comprises an eight-speed automatic transmission, a limited-slip differential, and RWD.
It's amazing how times have changed. Even a few years ago that amount of hp and torque would have been stunning.

760hp RWD

A few of these are going into objects adjacent to the road. The rest will barely be driven.

Agree. I would NOT want much more than 500 hp for a RWD car. Had the F10 M5 with 550 hp and didn't care for it as much. The AWD F90 was much better.

Style seems similar to AMGs but yeah, spectacular car, feels like it would be a blast to have it on the track. Agree with the wheels though, there are definitely better choices out there.
