Aston Martin Virage vs Mercedes SLS

It's the clash of the ultimate coupes, so can Aston's latest flier take down the gullwing Merc?

We've brought together two of the most stylish cars money can buy and put them head to head in an exclusive video... and it's a closer battle than anyone could imagine.

Slotting into the Aston Martin line up between the DB9 and DBS, the Virage aims to hit the sweet spot between an out and out performance machine and refined GT. The SLS on the other hand is more dramatic in everything it does. From the thunderous exhaust note, to the eye-catching gullwing doors, it might be inspired by the original 300SL from the Fifties but this is every inch the modern supercar.

The Aston has a two-cylinder advantage with its 6.0-litre V12, compared to the Merc's 6.2-litre V8, but it's the AMG supercar that produces 73bhp more. Let battle commence!
