I am waiting to see what the new Vantage V12 S reviews are like. The Aston Martin disadvantage is heavy engine in front and rear wheel drive. My Audi is AWD so faster than most RWD cars. I forgot that I also looked at the Mercedes AMG GTS.
But where can you drive such cars at speed anymore? You have to find a track. As long as the acceleration is helpful, useable, on the actual road, for passing and the like, then I’m interested. Otherwise, everything sucks compared to racing track cars.
Mercedes all look like modified bank vaults to me - heavy, thick. Works for the biggest cars, but as they get smaller, the thickness becomes more noticeable.
For ridiculously fast, you could get the R8.
