AOLJU ◊ 2013-05-29 18:01	I think it's a V8, maybe a Vantage. I hope that the crashed one was a replica... -- Last edit: 2013-05-29 18:04:39
Sandie ◊ 2013-05-29 18:13	CGI for the crash. Has a Vantage bodykit but the bonnet is from a 1973-78 model V8 (Vantage models would have the power bulge closed off).
antp ◊ 2013-05-29 18:14	Sandie wrote CGI for the crash. Obviously And a mock-up for the wrecked one.
Sandie ◊ 2013-05-29 18:24	I only pointed it out as Aolju thought it was a replica. Though I guess I misunderstood his post. Crashed vs Crashing.
G-MANN ◊ 2013-05-29 18:43	Aston Martin V8s are still pretty valuable, they wouldn't destroy one just for a movie. These were really expensive cars when new, more expensive than things like Porsches or even Ferraris I think. -- Last edit: 2013-05-30 19:53:52

antp ◊ 2013-05-30 15:36	The crash is CGI, for sure. Only the start of the rollover is seen (and looks fake), then the scene cuts and you see the (mock-up) car on its roof. For a comedy movie that does not have a huge budget, it is quite enough. I find that better than some blockbuster which would have a 5-second crash that needed to destroy three cars to achieve a not-much-better result. -- Last edit: 2013-05-30 15:52:08
m00neelee ◊ 2013-11-08 11:42	No rear spoiler means it's not a vantage. V8 with a vantage nose?
dsl ◊ 2014-09-30 12:52	Not a Vantage - no rear spoiler, wrong bonnet but has Vantage front bodykit. Bonnet matches V8 Mk3 and has new-for-Mk3 onwards removal of vents on panel between boot and rear window. BBS wheels were fitted 86+ (V8 Mk5/Vantage Mk2) so part of the updating exercise on this Mk3.
