Thanks a lot!
Do you also by any chance have the scans of the Vantage tested by Autocar earlier this year?

Of course. Autocar as we know and love it. Why? Do you think that the 812 is more exciting to drive than a Rolls Royce? Or faster than a Superleggera? Or lighter than a DB11 AMR?
Come on, you must be living in the real world...

A questionable ranking by Autocar.
In my opinion,Exterior:AM DBS is 1st;Interior:Bentley CGT is 1st;Performance and Driving Dynamic:Ferrari 812SF is 1st.Which one do you pick depend on what you want.

Depends if you are looking at it as a pure GT or a superGT/sportscar. By my estimation they ought to look at the DBS as the latter as the DB11 is more the purer GT as is the GT4 Lusso. And if they had looked at the DBS as a SuperGT/sportscar, the 812 should have ranked much, much, muuuuuuuch higher. I am usually more reserved on calling out Autocar's biases, but the needle on the BS meter is off the charts.

BTW my ranking...1) 812... insane usable performance whose styling I've come around to...dark blue exterior and saddle leather....mmmm, 2) tie btwn the DBS and ContiGT....the Conti's interior is just so decadent to the point it may seem to be too much whereas the DBS has a compelling driving dynamics with a dramatic yet pleasing exterior.

I've noticed Autocar has a british bias.

DBS Superlegerra rights many of the wrongs in the DB11 design.

Izatso? Such as?

Do you not feel that the wheels look to big for the car (DB11) and it appears like it's lifted? Also it's body is not as muscular and that floating roof looks out of place in another colour.
That side intake when not colour blended.
DBS is lower and far more muscular.
Bring on the Volante.

I just saw one laat night, next to a Vantage. What a beauty it is.

Most beautiful car in the market right now.

Definitely feeds into my recent green kick. Though change the green on the F12 to TdF Blue or Blu Pozzi, then, to quote Carl Weathers, "you got yourself a stew!"
