No. That engine is too good for that vehicle.

Plus it could be installed in a regular BMW with a modified suspension at a lower cost!

True. I'm just not a fan of the F82.

I won't. It's just something about that odd looking face.

Well, I've resigned myself to the fact that all modern engines will be low capacity and turbocharged so that doesn't bother me too much. However, I can understand why companies can't make them sound good like the Noble M600 or this:

I like dat AMG motor SO much better
I like small TT V8s
Turbo I6s, not so much ...

Twin turbo V8s are the best turbo engines in my opinion.

I agree
They are the perfect small capacity engines
V12s can be N/A
CAcoalminer

V12s should always be N/A.

Put that away! You and Brian both know I have a soft spot for Astons.

At least that car is in the realm of possibility for you if you really wanted it bad enough. The GTO will never be possible for any of us...

Well, if I was going to get an Aston again, I would buy another DBS or swap the engine from the Vantage V12 S into a standard Vantage V12. The Zagato's bottom is a bit odd.

DBS! That would be sweet

They are sweet, especially the later models. Such a beautiful car as well.

I kind of like the longer coupes better than the V12 Vantage
I know the Vantage is lighter. But the bigger coupes look so "right"

Thank you. I keep telling Brian that the true GT Astons are better but he just doesn't listen.

He is a sports car fundamentalist. He values less weight over all else. He's very into Auto X and track days, which I understand. But a good road car is more than a lap time destroyer.

My thoughts exactly. I would much have a car that handles well but still is supremely comfortable and usable, then one that can set great times.
However, I can't blame him for being like that. He is still young and I was probably the same way at his age. Also, who knows, maybe in a few years a car will be able to set great times and be supremely comfortable. I know the 12c is getting quite close.

You just created a product idea!
McLaren sedan! With the magic suspension.

I could definitely see it. Besides, they do need an F12 competitor.

or an FF competitor. McLaren shooting break!

it could use a detuned version of the P1's power train !

That would work, especially if the turbos were downsized for better response.

they can make it to see version to compete with the F12 and A shooting break to compete with the FF
