This is the biggest change for the 2012 V8 Vantage: the Speedshift II automated manual gearbox has been uprated with an extra gear. The new seven-speed unit has closer gear ratios for a more sporting response, while Aston has also engineered the shifts to be faster and more refined.

 With a lower final drive ratio, the firm says it's been able to optimise acceleration throughout the range and also make best use of the performance-tuned 420hp 4.7-litre V8 engine. The engine itself is, however, unchanged for 2012.
