599 is definitely more sensuous than dbs, from the color to the engine, which shows devastating power destroying the less attractive aston martin elements .......
i dont like ferraris anymore there a science lesson not a drivers car and the last time they made an actual beautiful car was the 355.i would take the aston everyday and keep the extra cash im saving from not buying the overpriced ferrari, plus if you listen to the ferrari go past at the start of the video it sounds like a microwave and people will go on about it being faster and stuff but you will never beable to use the speed all the time however you can use the looks of the aston all the time
@anthony90123 couldnt have said it better myself, i honestly dont care if the ferrari is faster, i mean are you really guna be going that fast down the highway, NO. the dbs looks a million times better and sounds better on top of that
The ferrari is just a fast machine. but the aston got the soul, the looks, the sounds. who the fuck cares about the ferrari is a fraction of a second faster.... any one in his right mind would defenitly choose the aston.. its in the 1st position for me.. love it
Aston... More than 100k cheaper than the Ferrari... PLENTY of room for some upgrades. If this car cost 380k... it would SHAME the Ferrari. I'm just saying lets be real. :)
You can't compare an Aston Martin DBS with a Ferrari 599GTB. The 599 has way more power and torque than the Aston. A more apt comparison for the Aston would be with the Ferrari F430.
@telosfd I totally agree with telosfd.Aston Martin is beautifull but not fast as Ferrari Aston Martin has a image of Luxury 2 seater & Ferrari is totally transparent F1 car which can be driven on road also.
If we are wrong then check out TOP Gear or Fifth Gear. Where Top Gear has told Aston Martin a FAT USE LESS car.

Plus Astons are overwight, front-engined behemoths for 60 year old executives with hemorrhoids hence the overstuffed seats. No one with any sense or motor racing passion/knowledge would choose an Aston "no race-pedigree" Martin over the legendary F1 marquee which is Ferrari.
Ferrari makes great competition cars, but they use the same approach when they make a GT, which is fine if you have infinite money and patience (which you don't), so their best GT yet is the 612
Aston makes great competition cars too (DBR9/DBRS9/ N24/V12 vln) which succeeded in numerous challenges, and is a company that is much older than Ferrari, so the stuff you said about the pedigree is bullshit.
Yes, you might know 'rarri due to F1, but they aren't big in LM
But continuing, Aston knows how to build proper GTs, as they take a completely different approach. About your behemoth bs you mentioned... The DBS and the 599 weigh ~ same, while the 149 California and the 612 weigh much much more....The DBS is one of the lightest high end GTs and has a proper low end torque engine and was initialized as a manual car (although the 599 can come in stick, it is marketed with the flappies) The DBS has a lower center of mass too.
@animal33213 Considering motor racing, yes, the 599 will take the DBS on a track, but then Ferrari will have to take the front end off the car and replace all running components for an astronomical price...
Plus, how much times will you be on the track? ... once a month... once a year
and all the days in between... when your Tipo 140 will suddenly catch fire in a traffic jam...
Comparisons ain't that easy, kid... (same to Car and Driver)
Astons all look alike...and have no racing pedigree. Plus put the two side by side and everyone would flock around the Ferrari. Aston is ok but Ferrari is special.
Why could Aston Martin give the DBS 600hp, it's a 6 litre V12 for God Sake, my 2.5L STi makes 450 at the wheels. Plus they could've used dry carbon for ALL panels (the price is high so it should be there) which would have given it a very low weight. They could have easy made it 1550kg with 600hp, with the looks the speed it would be perfect. There is a company who is tuning it to 550hp and the upcoming V12 Vantage is 600hp so maybe engine swap lol.
@spazoflondon Yes, this is one of their fanboy comparos :) As auto experts they know that the Ferrari 612 is the proper Ferrari GT. Moreover it costs +/-100 bucks form the DBS making those two IDEAL competitors. Yet they also know that the DBS would walk all over the 612 in terms of performance, so they put in the much more expensive 599 which is not a full on GT car (but which they knew would win).
@genatsvalle91 Ya really they are pathetic... It's not fair match for either cars. 599 GTB is barely a touring car. DBS is no where near a real race car. That's the thing. A lot cars with better pricing than the Ferrari beats their classes. People buy DBS for comfort and going to fine dining and resorts. People who really love going crazy on the tracks would get something like a Koenigsegg or put 50k into a Viper svt =D
@spazoflondon In another one of their comparos (V8 cars) they refrained from taking the C6 Z06 against the F430, and went for the base LS3 vette instead. Obviously, due to the power advantage the much more expensive 430 took the biscuit, yet the Z06 could have turned that around. In that comparison the C6 LT3 vette was the cheapest car by far too
@spazoflondon What they want is state the usual stereotypes, the Aston is beautiful but underpowered (shit no), and Ferrari wins the day (as always). They do it every time when choosing the flappy paddles on an Aston V8 Vantage/DB9 in other comparos, which usually adds 0.2-0.3 secs to the 0-60 run as well as the QM run. They know how to drive stick properly and if they don't, they shouldn't be where they are. all this makes me sad, cause I cant really drive all these cars for own experience
for all the people who say the dbs is better, you really have to drive both cars to judge them properly. the ferrari is simply out of this world for how well it drives. it's so smooth and refined. Way more so than the dbs.
these guys cant do good reviews the ferrarri costs more has no PROPER manual looks worse . if they want to compare it to a similar priced car that will go faster and therefor win do so
I prefer the Aston Martin rather then the Ferrari, but I thougth the dress in the Ferrari was much more comfortable looking than the Aston Martin, I liked the colour. The shiftgear in the aston was to big I thougth.
what is wrong with people they always say the ferrari comes first its cliche....the 599 is disgusting lookin....this guy sounds like he's readin what it says in the manual. the dbs comes out on top for anybody who knows anything about cars.
does this man have eyes its such a horrible looking ferrari they just havnt made a good looking car for to long nor a manual thats worth using since the 360
Right checked it, AM must have done some special offer for US customers, because in Europe 599 is cheaper - it costs not less than 206k euro, while DBS's prices start from 240k.
@bahnstormero i was doing it for the UK and its £40k cheaper here but in america they upped the price because they could and because people will buy them
@lovecars890 agreed, however it does have the nav&audio system from a Volvo, which, if you've ever tried programing one of them, they are downright awful.
@lovecars890 dude. why does everyone need to hate on Lexus? it just gets old and they happen to have really good navi and stock stereos I have an IS250
i'm agree that maybe Dbs is has a more classy style and has a better style, but in my opinion what makes a car great is not the confort of the seat, the leather, the cockpit or the navigator..i think the engine the gearbox and the exaust are the earth of a car cause there is where the soul of a car is! i'm sorry but for these things there is no other car in the world like ferrari...maybe lamborghini! for luxury italian car are not the best in my opinion but for sport car u can't compare!!!
It's so amusing how an American can evaluate European cars. The engineering of European cars and reliability of Japanese cars leave Yankee autos standing! That's why the American automobile industry is in tatters, not to mention their archaic working practices. For example, Corvettes have always been fast but if you want to turn a corner at speed, the brown stuff starts hitting the fan; too much power for the chassis. Also they should increase their petrol price to something more realistic.
i don't much care for the 599's looks either and my vette is a dream come true - you can make any car do anything you want (1/4 mile, twisties, top speed, you name it) if you got the cash
i`d take the aston, just better style and its not like you would take the ferrari for its speed, i mean seriously when would you be able to drive over 200 mph........send me a comment if you feel the same way or a disagreement..:)
ferrari has the looks and the name. girls dont even notice aston martin next to ferrari.. grow up a little, you will understand.. now - go back to your games.
yes i dont have the money to buy or afford it but common dude.. would yu buy a ferrari or aston martin for that price.. it is a quarter million dollar..... Maybe i m wrong but I would go wiuth the bname for that price.,, and that name would be either ferrari or lambo!!!
If I wanted to buy a Ferrari, I'd be a 458 or 430 Scuderia. Who wants to drive a big GT car that's overly-docile and nervous? The 599 misses the point of what a GT car is supposed to be.
I'm no player hater. I can't afford either of them but if one was given to me as a gift, I'd be exceptionally happy. If I had a choice, I'd choose the DBS. It is one of my dream cars, the One-77 being my first. I do wonder, however, what kind of upgrades you can put in an Aston martin to make it a little faster... Aston Martin DBS and One-zz for life!
Oh I don't care that 599 wins the comparison, the DBS is way more beautiful inside and out! Of course the Ferrari is faster, but who cares when the Aston is still supercar fast for a GT and also looks so nice! I still take the DBS over 599 any day!
i love the aston's styling but i wouldn't buy it just bc the tach is backwards. and the 599's styling hasn't won me over yet. i prefer the styling of the 550/575. ferraris have had quad taillights since the beginning of time. why did they change that? i think that for a GT car the bentley continental GT gets my vote. less expensive as well.
they are 2 different cars for 2 types of clients. i personally like aston martin for it s class and design, but somebody else who likes extreme performances and sportivity may prefere ferrari. but i guess lamborghini has both great design and extreme performance;)
Actually I am quite familiar with both cars, their components and engines. I will not double post on this video but check my reply to Mr Jacknocf. Besides sngine incedents there have also been wheel/tire zone incidents (specifically for the 599 fiorano model) where that zone of the car would spontaneously disintegrate at speeds 190 and over... Technology is good but you cant stuff all that into a two-ton car and still be golden...
I understand what you mean, and I have a load of appreciation for how Ferrari stands in making their cars right now (as opposed to their little brother Maserati for instance). But what I really want to say is that as of right now Ferrari always sees performance as THE PRIORITY, whilst sacrificing many other things, while Aston sees it as A PRIORITY, and sacrifices much less there is to a car by doing that.
What Ferrari is doing with every single car they make right now is demonstrting how sophisticated and performing they can make it... Sometimes it works perfectly (The 458 Italia is one of my all-time favs for the reason) but sometimes it doesnt fit like a saddle on a cow... The Fiorano is impressive as a techno thing- to do all that to a 2 ton touring car... but they lost a lot to the car trying to make it as hig-performing as possible... and hey, its still 2 tons...with a high center of gravity
Well, it's in the DNA of Ferrari technology and performance ..
Ferrari in fact gives more importance to these aspects, but is not a bug, this is the role that Ferrari has chosen.
the Aston can not be compared to a Ferrari because they have different roles, the Ferrari is very technical because for a race car, technology is essential ....
the aston is comparable to a Maserati former coaches, which offers performance, but with class, comfort and elegance.
the aston looks 10 times better even that I prefeer itaian cars over british cars. the advantage on the 599 is the gearbox and the more powerfull engine. if aston could engineer a better gbox and a more powerfull engine it would be an awesome car
The Aston on the other hand has 85 percent of its torque at just 500 RPM above the idle, so there is no need in wearing the engine... As the two cars will be used, the price gap will increase dramatically between the two... Then the Aston Martin is limited to 191, but there are records of taking this car over the factory top speed without any accidents.. The Ferrari's top is 207, while the wheels start to disintegrate at 190- according to two different tests (VS the ZR1)
Continued: its just a computer now, not a driver's car like the DBS- with the manual, the clutch pedal, the loose stability control systems..... Furthermore a grand tourer should be RELIABLE and DURABLE, the Fiorano is not... It has the extra 90 horsepower, but both engines have the same displacement, so to regularly get those extra 90 out of the Ferrari you would have to strain that high rev engine to 8400 RPM, producing a lot of wear, and the 599 ends up in the expensive service facilities
That is not a good ex. to pull out to say that the engine on a Ferrari will be unreliable. I mean lets be real, man jap cars back in the day was matching hp or getting a bit more with smaller engines than american cars and we all knew which ones were more reliable.
Yes, but this case is a bit diffrent than that... A grand tourer MUST have a lot of torque availible in the low, mid range because they are intended for long trips, and the engine must not be strained. In a Ferrari you get large torque/ BHP figures usuallyin the high rev which will lead to much more wear than the AVT 6.0 in the Aston. The Aston was engineered to suit real-life situations much more than the Ferrari.
And yes, please dont pull "the Aston engine is two ford duratec v6s" here- It might be the same parts, but it was re-engineered by Aston Martin Racing, Cosworth, and Prodrive- all 3 spectacular Racing Car/Parts manufacturers...
Cars using race spec mods of this engine are some of the most spectacular competition cars ever: The DBR9, V12 Vantage VLN, DBRS9 which won many many competitions incl GT1 at the lemans 2 years in a row.
The 6 litre in the 599 has been notorious for breaking down though back in the Enzo- just type it in google "Ferrari Enzo engine fire" and see for yourself how ENOROMOUS the problem is for this limited run supercar...
The 599 now gets the same rep- many incidents of breakdowns, partiularly fires in the engine bay
Yes, I understand it is vey tempting to prefer the "thuroughbred supercar engine" over the "Duratec derivative" but after a serious engine comparison the Aston AVT comes out on top
I definitely understand where you are coming from. I was just making the statement just because they pulled more hp out of it that doesn't make it at all less reliable im sure those fire problems are caused by a much larger problem. However i do like the DBS better its more smooth yet aggressive looking at the same time and the deep v12 sounds orgasmic.
This is a horrible review with a horrible verdict for grand tourer cars. When Ferrari made the 599 they were like: here is what WE can do with a two ton GT car: we can make it top out over 200 m/h, go to 60 in 3.3, and handle like a car that weighs 500 kg less. When trying to achieve that they lost a lot though... The two ton ca is now equipped with a computer controlled magneride, has teh F1 track and the paddles, and does not interact with the driver anymore
Ultimate performance is meaningless for road use. The Aston wins for me because it's far more beautiful than the rather bland & ungainly Ferrari. The wheels on the Aston look tacky though!
it kinda bugs me that the dbs can only get 510 hp from a 6.0l v12

@genatsvalle91 Ya really they are pathetic... It's not fair match for either cars. 599 GTB is barely a touring car. DBS is no where near a real race car. That's the thing. A lot cars with better pricing than the Ferrari beats their classes. People buy DBS for comfort and going to fine dining and resorts. People who really love going crazy on the tracks would get something like a Koenigsegg or put 50k into a Viper svt =D

@spazoflondon In another one of their comparos (V8 cars) they refrained from taking the C6 Z06 against the F430, and went for the base LS3 vette instead. Obviously, due to the power advantage the much more expensive 430 took the biscuit, yet the Z06 could have turned that around. In that comparison the C6 LT3 vette was the cheapest car by far too
genatsvalle91 1 year ago
@spazoflondon What they want is state the usual stereotypes, the Aston is beautiful but underpowered (shit no), and Ferrari wins the day (as always). They do it every time when choosing the flappy paddles on an Aston V8 Vantage/DB9 in other comparos, which usually adds 0.2-0.3 secs to the 0-60 run as well as the QM run. They know how to drive stick properly and if they don't, they shouldn't be where they are. all this makes me sad, cause I cant really drive all these cars for own experience
genatsvalle91 1 year ago
for all the people who say the dbs is better, you really have to drive both cars to judge them properly. the ferrari is simply out of this world for how well it drives. it's so smooth and refined. Way more so than the dbs.

i'm agree that maybe Dbs is has a more classy style and has a better style, but in my opinion what makes a car great is not the confort of the seat, the leather, the cockpit or the navigator..i think the engine the gearbox and the exaust are the earth of a car cause there is where the soul of a car is! i'm sorry but for these things there is no other car in the world like ferrari...maybe lamborghini! for luxury italian car are not the best in my opinion but for sport car u can't compare!!!

It's so amusing how an American can evaluate European cars. The engineering of European cars and reliability of Japanese cars leave Yankee autos standing! That's why the American automobile industry is in tatters, not to mention their archaic working practices. For example, Corvettes have always been fast but if you want to turn a corner at speed, the brown stuff starts hitting the fan; too much power for the chassis. Also they should increase their petrol price to something more realistic.

the 599's performance is off the charts and it will out run & out corner any of its rivals
but because of this, the 599 really misses the point of being a GrandTourer, because its so track oriented.
given the choice, i will be happy to pull up next to a 599 while in my dbs & be left in the dust.

If I wanted to buy a Ferrari, I'd be a 458 or 430 Scuderia. Who wants to drive a big GT car that's overly-docile and nervous? The 599 misses the point of what a GT car is supposed to be.

Oh I don't care that 599 wins the comparison, the DBS is way more beautiful inside and out! Of course the Ferrari is faster, but who cares when the Aston is still supercar fast for a GT and also looks so nice! I still take the DBS over 599 any day!

SLASHBIKER1980 2 years ago
Actually I am quite familiar with both cars, their components and engines. I will not double post on this video but check my reply to Mr Jacknocf. Besides sngine incedents there have also been wheel/tire zone incidents (specifically for the 599 fiorano model) where that zone of the car would spontaneously disintegrate at speeds 190 and over... Technology is good but you cant stuff all that into a two-ton car and still be golden...
genatsvalle91 2 years ago
but as in all things, the Ferrari is not without its flaws, there is no car that has no defects ..........
but the build quality and technology of Ferrari is first of all .........
ferrari quality is evident when working with Ferrari .....
SLASHBIKER1980 2 years ago
I understand what you mean, and I have a load of appreciation for how Ferrari stands in making their cars right now (as opposed to their little brother Maserati for instance). But what I really want to say is that as of right now Ferrari always sees performance as THE PRIORITY, whilst sacrificing many other things, while Aston sees it as A PRIORITY, and sacrifices much less there is to a car by doing that.
genatsvalle91 2 years ago
What Ferrari is doing with every single car they make right now is demonstrting how sophisticated and performing they can make it... Sometimes it works perfectly (The 458 Italia is one of my all-time favs for the reason) but sometimes it doesnt fit like a saddle on a cow... The Fiorano is impressive as a techno thing- to do all that to a 2 ton touring car... but they lost a lot to the car trying to make it as hig-performing as possible... and hey, its still 2 tons...with a high center of gravity
genatsvalle91 2 years ago
Well, it's in the DNA of Ferrari technology and performance ..
Ferrari in fact gives more importance to these aspects, but is not a bug, this is the role that Ferrari has chosen.
the Aston can not be compared to a Ferrari because they have different roles, the Ferrari is very technical because for a race car, technology is essential ....
the aston is comparable to a Maserati former coaches, which offers performance, but with class, comfort and elegance.
excuse my English.
SLASHBIKER1980 2 years ago
the aston looks 10 times better even that I prefeer itaian cars over british cars. the advantage on the 599 is the gearbox and the more powerfull engine. if aston could engineer a better gbox and a more powerfull engine it would be an awesome car
curancho 2 years ago
The Aston on the other hand has 85 percent of its torque at just 500 RPM above the idle, so there is no need in wearing the engine... As the two cars will be used, the price gap will increase dramatically between the two... Then the Aston Martin is limited to 191, but there are records of taking this car over the factory top speed without any accidents.. The Ferrari's top is 207, while the wheels start to disintegrate at 190- according to two different tests (VS the ZR1)
genatsvalle91 2 years ago
Continued: its just a computer now, not a driver's car like the DBS- with the manual, the clutch pedal, the loose stability control systems..... Furthermore a grand tourer should be RELIABLE and DURABLE, the Fiorano is not... It has the extra 90 horsepower, but both engines have the same displacement, so to regularly get those extra 90 out of the Ferrari you would have to strain that high rev engine to 8400 RPM, producing a lot of wear, and the 599 ends up in the expensive service facilities
genatsvalle91 2 years ago
That is not a good ex. to pull out to say that the engine on a Ferrari will be unreliable. I mean lets be real, man jap cars back in the day was matching hp or getting a bit more with smaller engines than american cars and we all knew which ones were more reliable.
jacknocf 2 years ago
Yes, but this case is a bit diffrent than that... A grand tourer MUST have a lot of torque availible in the low, mid range because they are intended for long trips, and the engine must not be strained. In a Ferrari you get large torque/ BHP figures usuallyin the high rev which will lead to much more wear than the AVT 6.0 in the Aston. The Aston was engineered to suit real-life situations much more than the Ferrari.
genatsvalle91 2 years ago
And yes, please dont pull "the Aston engine is two ford duratec v6s" here- It might be the same parts, but it was re-engineered by Aston Martin Racing, Cosworth, and Prodrive- all 3 spectacular Racing Car/Parts manufacturers...
Cars using race spec mods of this engine are some of the most spectacular competition cars ever: The DBR9, V12 Vantage VLN, DBRS9 which won many many competitions incl GT1 at the lemans 2 years in a row.
genatsvalle91 2 years ago
The 6 litre in the 599 has been notorious for breaking down though back in the Enzo- just type it in google "Ferrari Enzo engine fire" and see for yourself how ENOROMOUS the problem is for this limited run supercar...
The 599 now gets the same rep- many incidents of breakdowns, partiularly fires in the engine bay
Yes, I understand it is vey tempting to prefer the "thuroughbred supercar engine" over the "Duratec derivative" but after a serious engine comparison the Aston AVT comes out on top
genatsvalle91 2 years ago
I definitely understand where you are coming from. I was just making the statement just because they pulled more hp out of it that doesn't make it at all less reliable im sure those fire problems are caused by a much larger problem. However i do like the DBS better its more smooth yet aggressive looking at the same time and the deep v12 sounds orgasmic.
jacknocf 2 years ago
This is a horrible review with a horrible verdict for grand tourer cars. When Ferrari made the 599 they were like: here is what WE can do with a two ton GT car: we can make it top out over 200 m/h, go to 60 in 3.3, and handle like a car that weighs 500 kg less. When trying to achieve that they lost a lot though... The two ton ca is now equipped with a computer controlled magneride, has teh F1 track and the paddles, and does not interact with the driver anymore
