00:00It's naughty!
00:02Sounds so good.
00:16This is the new Aston Martin DB12 Volante and it might be the most beautiful car on sale.
00:32The first thing you do when you've only got a small amount of time with a car like this Aston
00:36Martin is show all your mates.
00:37I've just pulled into work, we're going to get everyone's reaction to this drop-top beauty.
00:45Okay, James Bond.
00:48It's pretty hard.
00:51I love that this is all leather too when it comes.
00:54Yeah, they're not even stuffing around with these back seats, like they've also just put logos and leather all over
00:58them.
00:59But you have to have no legs to fit in there.
01:01They open on like a little bit of an angle.
01:03They do make hot cars.
01:04Hey, was it actually, he was stopping us.
01:06Oh no, he pulled back out.
01:07Thank you, sir.
01:08That is the beauty of an Aston Martin.
01:11People will get out of your way.
01:12So how does it drive?
01:13We're on one of Sydney's best roads right now.
01:16And I have to say, it's like super sharp.
01:17It's super dynamic.
01:18We're just cruising.
01:19We're not going anything crazy today.
01:21It obviously has it in it.
01:22It's an Aston Martin.
01:23But I want to say there's a few things.
01:25The top-down motoring is the best.
01:27Having no roof is better than having a roof.
01:29I don't care what you say.
01:30Unless you're on a track going absolutely berserk.
01:32I prefer it.
01:33You get to appreciate that V8.
01:35That twin turbo V8.
01:37Yeah, it's a Mercedes source.
01:38It's not a V12.
01:39But man, does it sound so good.
01:41And when you want to give it some power, it has power.
01:44I'll give you a little bit of a sound bite.
01:53It's naughty.
01:53And it crackles and pops.
01:59It sounds so good.
02:03And you actually get some whooshing from the turbos too.
02:05Oh, and cracks.
02:07It's naughty.
02:09It sounds so good.
02:11And the actual 8-speed automatic.
02:13It's not a dual clutch, but it's snappy enough for this car.
02:16It's a touring car.
02:16It's a GT.
02:17It doesn't have to be super, super on it.
02:22It's not a PDK.
02:24But that's okay.
02:29The steering, in Sport Plus, the steering is on it.
02:32It's so sharp.
02:34So much more feeling than I expected.
02:37And the suspension.
02:38This is in Sport Plus too.
02:39It's fairly compliant.
02:41You don't necessarily have to configure your individual mode because
02:43in Sport Plus on the smooth road like this, it's fine.
02:58We're going across the Hawkesbury.
03:00We're almost at the Oyster Place.
03:02We're like five minutes out.
03:03We've just tackled one of the best driving roads, I think, in city.
03:06It's my local road.
03:07And now we're going to go eat an Oyster.
03:09And we're in a DB12.
03:10It doesn't get any better.
03:20Hawkesbury Oyster Shed.
03:21It's in like the most unassuming little spot.
03:23But this thing's popping off on the weekend.
03:26So I'm glad we came on a Wednesday because
03:28you usually can't even get parks here.
03:43I'm ready to smash some oysters.
03:46Doesn't look bad with the top up either, to be honest.
03:49Black top.
03:50Don't get red tops.
03:58So that one's dirty, thank you.
04:00Thanks.
04:02Yeah, cheers, thank you.
04:05The best of Sydney's rocks, as they say.
04:09Cheers.
04:17I think we've nailed it today.
04:18We've only had a short time to spend with the DB12.
04:21We've hit driving roads.
04:22I've given you a walk around the car.
04:23You've heard the car.
04:24We've got oysters.
04:26Does it get any better than this?
04:30Maybe there is maybe a heat ranging from us.
04:30Even in 2015.
04:32I've been lively.
04:32And a microwave
04:32With that, as you jump into this past.
04:32The declaration should continue to get to stay...
04:32I'm perfect for sharing a bit Noah and we do.
04:34Who are you suffering?
04:34When we pray.
