Funny. I know where this was filmed (in Zurich) and the car is from Basel (like me).
But I'm sure this doesn't interesst anybody.

My guess would be it's Quantum.

Yea, it's Quantum Silver.

i'm generally bored rigid of variations on metallic grey but i'll make an exception in this case.

it's a stunning choice for the v12v, somehow it works even better on the Vantage than the DBS.

Our Rapide is Quantum. Somehow looks better than all the other greys (imo). Seems to be a deeper colour, but also changes quite a lot depending on the light.

Quantum and I think the vents are natural CF on dark.

Painted vents light on light look like this:-

More pics please, I think it's a huge improvement. I've no problem with vents in the bonnet, I just don't think it's necessary to draw that much attention to them. They interrupt the eye's journey along the car's sleek curves (as poncy as that may read!). I also understand that many may want to draw attention to the fact that it's not an 'ordinary' Vantage and contrasting bonnet vents are a good way of doing that I suppose.

Personally I think any car that looks as good as a V8 Vantage is good looking enough as it is.

Are you all sure its not meterioite - it looks like it is to me! I have a V12V in meteroite and I have to say the car in the video looks very very much like mine. That said Meteroite and Quantum are very similar indeed and you would only easily tell them apart if they were side by side - where upon Quantum seems to have a brown hue to the dark silver and Quantum more of a blue hue to the dark silver.

Compare the car in the video (0:17 to 0:20 secs) to this picture of my car and I think you will agree that it might well be meteroite.



They arnt painted bonnet vents in the video or on my car - meteroite (and Quantum) looks so similar to the carbon fibre that there is no need to paint them.

Still a tough one to call! The light plays a big part in it. Looks great in either colour anyways.
