“I really love the combination of sports cars with SUVs, making Robb Report Ultimate Drives a really interesting experience. That’s what I’ve been really looking forward to.”

Aston Martin Vantage
Pitched as the sportiest member of the Aston Martin range, the Vantage’s racy intent is evident in its compact proportions, but more evident in its suspension modes. Where the DB11 has a GT mode, the softest setting in the Vantage is Sport, through Sport Plus, and going all the way up to the self-explanatory Track mode, which its 510hp, fourlitre V8 will no doubt make short work of.
“It has an amazing exhaust note.”
– Nicholas Xie
The Vantage is also full of clever aerodynamic details – a series of ducts behind its expansive front grille channels cooling air to the engine and under the car to the rear diffuser. Along with the ducktail rear spoiler and side strakes, the Vantage remains positively stapled to the road. As you would expect it to.
“My favourite thing about the Aston Martin Vantage is its smooth and powerful engine. Compared to other luxury sports cars, it’s easy to drive and it also has a very large boot that you can put golf bags in.”
– Michael Lim
“I like the power and price of this F-Pace.”
– Chan Kok Weng
Jaguar F-Pace SVR
Jaguar’s full-sized SUV, the F-Pace, already has a fearsome reputation as one of the finest handling vehicles in its segment thanks to its winning combination of a deft chassis, accurate helm and punchy turbocharged engines.
