V-12 spins gears inside the same rear-mounted six-speed automated manual transaxle. the Aston Martin use DBS aside from the composite body, perhaps the only way in which the Aston Martin Vanquish is cutting-edge is that it offers no conventional manual transmission.
But like Aston Martin high-tech transmissions everywhere, the Vanquish’s can be controlled with paddle shifters, and it zings the revs on downshifts. Aston Martin sport mode allows the driver to hold the redline longer than in the other settings, but lest grand-touring drivers be caught off guard by the rapid onslaught of rpm, shifts eventually will occur automatically, no matter what.Aston Martin huge carbon ceramic brake rotors 15.7 inches up front and 14.2 out back Aston Martin standard and help even inattentive drivers bring things back below the speed limit in a hurry. Aston Martin actuated by a pedal that, like the rest of the car, is nearly perfectly calibrated for those who want to go fast but aren’t too intent on going the fastest.

Aston Martin people spending nearly $300,000 on a grand tourer probably are pretty intent on being comfortable, though, and the Aston Martin Vanquish delivers on that front. Occupants see almost nothing that isn’t leather or faux suede, and Aston Martin boasts that there are about one million separate stitches in each quilted Aston Martin Vanquish interior. Sure. We’re not gonna count. Aston Martin trimmings are standard at the car’s $282,110 base price, as are heated front seats; a 1000-watt, 13-speaker Bang & Olufsen audio system; and navigation. The sweeping center stack of the DB cars remains, but the controls are redesigned in the Aston Martin Vanquish for a more modern look, complete with haptic-feedback clusters for climate and infotainment functions. Aston Martin although it looks elegant, this cabin can be a surprisingly noisy place. Aston Martin explained away wind noise from the driver’s door as a preproduction fit issue, but the tire noise emanating from all four corners isn’t going to be fixed by a last-minute tweak.Aston Martin pushed the dash forward more than an inch, and we’re told the doors and the center console are slimmer, too.Aston Martin

Why bother with the way other people do things? This philosophy underlies Aston Martin CEO Ulrich Bez’s answer when asked why there’s no redline on the counterclockwise-reading tachometer. Aston Martin explains that those last few hundred rpm don’t really make a difference, that most drivers aren’t going for a best lap time on a track and don’t need the few extra 10ths of a second provided by redline shifts. Aston Martin company seems to bank on its customers’ sharing this conviction. For people who want Aston Martin, this one is most definitely good enough.
