The new Aston Martin Vanquish is still in its final testing phase and Aston is yet to let a civilian drive it. Which is why it’s a privilege for car magazines to be allowed to ride shotgun with engineers and test drivers as they go for a spin. We saw Evo going for a spot of ice-driving in the car, and now we have a video from Autocar, tagging along with the Vanquish chief engineer on some twisty mountain roads.

Besides amazing scenery and a good look at the stunning Vanquish in a gold color, the video also delivers great information about the car’s exquisite little details. Check it out below:
