One thing we noticed when we tested the 2005 Aston Martin V8 Vantage was the noise. It’s one of the most pleasing, aggressive engine notes in the world.
It’s nice to know that with the new Vantage S, Aston Martin’s 430 hp follow-up to the regular Vantage, preserves that note—and, if the newly released video from Aston, filmed at Ascari, is anything to go by, it might be even meatier.
This is an 85 Mbyte file supplied to us by Aston, which can open to 1,920 by 1,080 pixels on those who have a large enough monitor (switch on the high definition after you expand the video). It’ll take a bit more computing grunt to run.
Meanwhile, Stylelist has got its hands on the new Kate Moss Dior Addict lipstick commercial, which it says has been leaked on to the internet. It features the supermodel heading to the Christian Dior spring 2011 catwalk show in Paris (with no sign of John Galliano), and compares the Dior brand’s iconic status with Moss’s own. Duran Duran supplies the music. We’ve linked it here as well, embedded from YouTube.
