The Aston Martin Victor is an 836bhp manual masterpiece
A retro one-off special that unites One-77, Vulcan and Valkyrie tech.

Bond villain car?

That thing is the best-looking Aston since I don't know... the DB7? Too bad it's a one-off...

Best since the V8 Vantage of the late 80s.

I like the way it looks on the outside, the fact that it's different to the normal boring Astons and I like the fact that they were bold enough to call their bespoke department Q. Inside's a bit meh, although I do like the gear knob.

I'd like to see what a more road-oriented version would be like.

It's cool, except for the headlights. It also looks like a car Aston made, and some punk who thinks every car needs to be modded, attacked with lowering suspension, shit wheels, and black paint.

I appreciate them finally updating their styling, but that looks like a poorly done Mustang tuner.

I like it a lot

That's probably because it's designed similar to the 70s AMV8, which looked like a Mustang anyway, they're referencing themselves

Here is a video from the car where you can see a lot of details.

The car looks good but also different and is a mix of a retro car and a AM Vulcan with some touches of the old Vanatage

The front is a bit of a mess, especially the headlamps

I think the Aston Martin V8 was better looking than the Mustang, so I guess it's not surprising that I really like this.

Aston happened to have a prototype tub from the 2009 One-77 still in store. Its 7.3-litre V12 was sent back to Cosworth with a brief to turn it up to the max; and thus an already hair-raising 750bhp at 7500rpm became 836bhp at nearer 9000rpm.

How about a front-engined, rear-driven two-seat coupé with an 836bhp atmo V12?

Aston Martin Victor Review 2023 | Top Gear

Aston builds the hypercar the Eighties never had. The Victor is possibly the finest one-off ever created

I love the mix of CF/Wood/Green Leather/Tan Leather on the interior.

Like someone crossed a whale shark with a catfish.

First drive

Epic sound ?????

I think it looks more than a bit thrown together and awkward in my opinion.
