This car is going to be amazing. Supposedly will utilize the exact same engines as the DB11, and at least one will be available with a manual transmission.
It's nice to see that Aston and Porsche are still holding a candle for enthusiasts. Everyone else is about FOG tech and country club bragging rights.

Mazda and Toyota/Subaru would like to have a word with you
And I'll bet after the completion of this gen of Vantage and Vanquish the 3rd pedal will be gone here too.

Oh my... :drool:
This thing will have the AMG 4.0 right? It also looks muuuuch wider than the current car, and a good deal longer too.
I for one would like to thank our Indian overlords.

At least until 2019
QuoteThe pressure and scrutiny on performance has shortened the tenure of the average CEO from about 10 years to about 5½ years since the 1990s, says John Challenger of consultants Challenger Gray and Christmas.

Supposedly the AMG 4.0T and the AM 5.2T. Trying to figure out if there was news of which engine (if not both) will get the manual.
Dig the paint job, not a fan of the Pirelli stickers.

One of the few British Marques to escape the Asian/South Asian invasion of British Automotive Legacies. May they always continue to fly the British flag; well with a bit of Germany thrown in.

They're owned by an Kuwaiti, Italian, American consortium, with a little German (and possibly British?) flavoring sprinkled on top.

Okay, I'm a little behind. I thought it was still Prodrive.
Italian, that's okay.
Dang shame they're no British owners of historically British cars. Why didn't the British govt bail them out like the U.S. did for GM?

They did a couple of times, IIRC.

They were too busy brexiting.

While true, I'd argue the British cars have never been better as a whole than they are now. AM, Jag, Landrover, Bently, and RR are all bringing out fantastic cars.
I can't wait to see this thing
