The new AMR edition is not only 95kg lighter than the regular Vantage, but it also sports a seven-speed manual transmission. IOLMotoring
Gaydon, England - Aston Martin has announced a Vantage for purists who want to swop cogs the old fashioned way.
The motorsport-inspired tranny features a ‘dog-leg’ first gear, with second to seventh positioned in a traditional ‘double H’ pattern. The gearbox is mated to a specially calibrated limited-slip differential and also features a selectable ‘AMSHIFT’ system that can heel-and-toe on your behalf. All that urge, of course, still goes to the rear wheels, and the AMR is fitted with Aston Martin’s adaptive damping system that offers Sport, Sport + and Track modes.
