DRIVING the stunning NEW Aston Martin Vantage | Henry Catchpole - The Driver's Seat
A TWIN-TURBO V-8!!! In this review of the new Aston Martin Vantage, Henry Catchpole ponders wherefore and how art the 656bhp baby of the range is like a James Bond film. Of course we are familiar with 007 driving a silver slice of Newport Pagnell or Gaydon’s finest, but it’s far from the only predictable trope - music, gadgets, villains, M, Q, Moneypenny, all are expected. And so it is with the spec sheet of a Vantage. The looks are instantly recognisable - more so than the last generation - with classically Aston Martin design cues. And it is stunning. The engine is up the front, as you’d expect, albeit behind the front wheels. Predictably the power is going solely to the rear and it is a V8 providing the 656bhp and 590lb ft. More specifically it is a 4-litre, twin-turbo with its origins at AMG. It’s a script that is comforting in its recognisability. It is also very recognisable if you have perused the particulars of the Aston Martin DB12 that was launched in 2023. In fact, save for a couple of seats and a very minor discrepancy in the power figures, they look like nearly identical cars. Even the Michelin Pilot Sport 5 S tyres are the same size, front and rear. So, one of the big questions for Henry Catchpole was whether the new Vantage would feel markedly different to drive. The setting for the test was the countryside near Seville in southern Spain, with the blood red Rio Tinto running through it. We also took a new Vantage - this time decked out in an F1 safety car colour scheme - to the Monteblanco circuit for some fast laps. Of course there was the opportunity to try out the handling with the new nine-stage traction control turned off, but it was also interesting to see how the Vantage’s 50 percent increase in cooling helped the car cope with 32 degrees celsius (90F) temperatures. At £165,000 or $191,000, the new Aston Martin Vantage is in competition with the Porsche 911 Turbo S, the Mercedes AMG GT, the Ferrari Roma and potentially the Maserati MC20. In other words it has to stack up. We hope you enjoy this review. Let us know in the comments whether you think the new Vantage is a Daniel Craig or a George Lazenby.

New Kia EV9 review: Cancel your Range Rover!
Compare the best new & used car deals with Carwow: https://bit.ly/New-Car-Deals-0602 Meet the all-new Kia EV9! It’s a new super-imposing 7-seater from South Korea, and Mat’s about to find out if it can compete with class-leading all-electric SUVs like the Tesla Model X and BMW iX! For starters, just check out that design! The EV9 is oh-so imposing, with a chunky, squared-off design stretching from the front to the rear. We love the blocky wheel arches and the new alloy designs - they’re definitely giving this car a real cyberpunk feel. The headlights & taillights also look great, and we love the black window surrounds & matching roof bars. The blue paint just tops it off, too! Step inside and the EV9’s cabin is well laid out. There’s a big infotainment & digital dial screen, and thankfully there are several physical and haptic feedback buttons. Interior quality is ok, but if you reach down a bit low you can expect to find some scratchy plastics! Thankfully though we don’t mind as there’s loads of interior storage, and there’s even the option to go for a six-seat set-up in the back. When it comes to batteries and motors, the entry-level EV9 come with a single electric motor that can produce 203hp. The GT Line edition that we have here comes with dual electric motors and the ability to put down 385hp. Both cars come with a 100kWh battery, and while the entry-level has a range of 350 miles, the GT Line can only manage 315. So it all sounds great, but all this quality doesn’t come cheap! The EV9 starts from £65,000, rising up to £77,000 for the range-topper! So would you consider spending this much on a Kia? Stick with Mat to see if you should!

Tuned Audi S4 vs Lamborghini: DRAG RACE
Sell your car for free with Carwow: https://bit.ly/Sell-Your-Car-For-Free-2303 It’s time for a drag race you didn’t know you needed… Until today! We’ve got Mat in an Audi S4, and it’s lining up against a Lamborghini Huracan Evo! Think it’ll be a walkover for the Lambo? Well, all is not as it seems! Let’s take a look at the stats. The Audi rolls up powered by a 3-litre V6 turbo that can normally produce 350hp and 500Nm of torque. However, the team at Awesome GTI have tuned it, and it now produces 560hp and 840Nm of torque! It’s still equipped with an 8-speed automatic gearbox, and it weighs in at around 1,700kg. Then we come to the Lambo. It’s powered by a glorious 5.2-litre naturally-aspirated V10 that can produce 640hp and 600Nm of torque. Power is sent to all four wheels via a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox, and it weighs in at around 1,500kg. There’s one key difference between the two though. While the Lambo costs just below £200,000, the Audi S4 only costs £24,000! But can it take down the Huracan? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

Hyundai Changed The Game - An "8-Speed" Electric Car!
Can Hyundai's Ioniq 5 N win over combustion enthusiasts? A performance EV with drift mode, shift mode, and variable torque split! Subscribe for more videos! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 Hyundai's Ioniq 5 N is a fresh new approach to electric performance vehicles. The car is packed with customizable features so the driver can configure the vehicle to their exact preferences. We'll deep dive into ten of these features, summarized below: 1. N Pedal - Developed as a solution to overcome the inherent weight and size of EVs, N Pedal was designed for instant turn-in behavior and enhanced throttle sensitivity, increasing the regenerative force to create a dynamic weight transfer that helps to sharpen corner entry. 2. N Torque Distribution - adjusts the front and rear drive ratio, providing fully variable torque distribution that can be adjusted for eleven levels. 3. N Drift Optimizer (w/ Torque Kick Drift) - helps to maintain the drift angle by balancing multiple vehicle controls. The integrated Torque Kick Drift function allows the driver to simulate the clutch kick action of rear-wheel-drive ICE vehicles for driving scenarios that require more immediate drift initiation. 4. N Grin Boost (NGB) - delivers an instant thrust from IONIQ 5 N’s dual motors by increasing the power output and torque for ten seconds 5. N Launch Control - provides maximum traction for the fastest possible start, allowing the driver to launch their vehicle like a professional race car 6. N Race - utilizes a motorsport-derived philosophy that optimizes resources for the best track experience. 7. N Battery Preconditioning - optimizes the temperature of the battery cells to be as efficient as possible. 8. N e-Shift simulates the behavior of the eight-speed dual-clutch N DCT of ICE N models by controlling the motor's torque output and power and simulating the jolt feeling between shifts. It provides the push feel of a DCT transmission and various levels of simulated engine braking using regeneration. The purpose is to increase driving fun, provide a more interactive driving experience, and deliver the same emotions of an ICE on a racetrack or a windy road. 9. N Active Sound+ - produces three sounds – ‘Ignition’, an ICE N engine and exhaust sound, and two futuristic EV sounds, including ‘Supersonic’, inspired by fighter jets – through eight internal speakers and two external speakers. Drivers can even rev the “engine” when N e-Shift is activated and transmission is in park or neutral. 10. N Road Sense - automatically recommends that the driver activate N Mode when double-curved road signs are detected. This lets the driver enjoy even more driving fun. Honorable mention: e-LSD - The electronic Limited Slip Differential (e-LSD) controls the amount of torque sent to the rear wheels, enhances handling performance when turning at high speeds, and improves wheel-slip compensation. This is a real, mechanical differential with e-hydraulic locking action for the rear motor! Engineering Explained is a participant in the Amazon Influencer Program.
