Review automotive A ston Martin big cheese Andy Palmer has said he needs the British brand to be the last carmaker to offer a manual transmission, however that obviously isn't preventing him from ensuring the V12 Vantage gets some three-accelerated love as well. A mysterious source sent this photograph to The Drive, which appears to demonstrate that at any rate for North America, there will be a 100-unit constrained keep running of the 2017 Aston Martin V12 Vantage S outfitted with a seven-speed manual gearbox. Any manual either, as well as one with a fair to-Bond canine leg first rigging — see the spilled photograph underneath for evidence.
You're likely considering, "This is unrealistic! A top of the line super games auto that you really need to know how to drive to drive?"
In spite of the fact that we aren't ready to check the wellspring of the picture, we reached Aston Martin representative Matthew Clark, who when inquired as to whether the V12 Vantage S was truly going to get a restricted keep running of canine leg seven-speed manual models said: "I wouldn't deny it."
The canine leg first rigging is a genuine gesture to lovers. With first rigging off to the side and down, the setup makes it simpler to perform that very regular second-to-third move in a straightforward north-south movement.
There are as of now bits of gossip Aston will manufacture a stripped-out form of the V8 Vantage with a seven-speed manual, calling it the Vantage GT8. It appears that Aston is doing everything it can to keep the Vantage new, no awful thing given that it's been around since 2005 (the Vantage S turned out in 2011) and the new DB11 is throwing very much a major, wonderful shadow nowadays. At the point when the present Vantage in the long run vanishes, its substitution is prone to get the DB11's new 5.2-liter V-12.
The way things are presently, the Aston Martin V12 Vantage S is accessible as either a roadster or convertible, complete with a 6.0-liter V-12 making 565 hp and 457 lb-ft of torque. While it's not really the most up to date motor on the auto advertise today, on our drive of the Vantage S Roadster in 2014, we said the V-12 "feels wakeful finally."
Inquire soon for full points of interest on the constrained run, manual 2017 Aston Martin V-12 Vantage S, as we expect an official declaration soon.
