British aristocratic speed at it's finest, you mean.
British speed at its finest would be...McLaren.

This... is true on all fronts! Now, combine McLaren with Britain's enemy during World War II and what do you get? THE SLR 722!!

OH, don't I know it!
I have that machine amongst my collection of 1/18-scale die-cast models.

So lucky!! I want to grow my collection of models. As of right now, all I have is a bunch 1/64th scale Hot Wheels and like six 1/24th Scale models. I do have an S7TT though! And a CLK GTR SS! XD

Be warned: Going 1/18 is an expensive hobby. For example, I paid $100 for my 1929 Cord L-29. The scale-model of this thing: http://silodrome.com/wp-content/upl.....up%C3%A9-3.jpg
The detailing, esp. on the interior and in the engine bay, can become absurd in its high quality and delicacy. Real wood pieces in the interior trim; upholstered seats with the real car's original fabric; full, multi-piece reproduction of the dashboard and shift levers. My 1957 Chrysler 300C not only has a fully detailed engine and hand-assembled engine, the hood hinges are perfect scale replicas of the spring-loaded, accordion types used on the real car. And on the dashboard, the keys dangle from the ignition switch. Yeah, you can get lots of El Cheapo units at places like Costco and Sam's during the Christmas season, but some studios that make these things can really put their effort into it.
My SLR McLaren is a Maisto, which is a good enough bargain brand. The engine bay is just a plastic stamp of the topside details, however. My silver-over-red SLS AMG is also a Maisto, and is currently featured at my Battle Station Play Area.

Oh wow.... most of my models are Maistos. And I was looking into getting the Maisto 1/18th scales models. The only ones I can ever find though, are Revell and something else that isn't very good. But Yeah, I'll keep that in mind!

Now, here's the challenge! Let's see how many of us car geeks know which one it is! The V8, which can be heard from miles away? Or the Softer, yet more brutal V12? (LOL Notice the hood!)

It's the V8?

Correct! The V8 Vantage had the standard Aston Martin trademark hood vents. The V12 Vantage's hood replaced those two little vents for a set of Four. Two long (or large), and Two short vents set towards the front of the car.
