TRANSMISSION AND POWERTRAIN
Transmission
Power from the V12 is fed through the renowned ZF 8-speed automatic transmission paired with an Electronic Rear Differential. Through a blend of torque tuning and transmission calibration, Vanquish achieves a balance that makes it effortlessly usable for daily driving. This combination enables smooth power delivery and responsive performance, whether navigating city streets or open highways.
Torque shaping
In GT and Wet mode, the torque shaping of the new V12 delivers unparalleled performance. The Aston Martin Vanquish offers mode-specific adjustments for smooth acceleration and control, delivering an instantaneous pedal response that ensures a fluid and linear distribution of power that can be summoned at will. Experience a relentless surge of power, both refined and intoxicating.
Electronic differential
Vanquish uses a rear electronic differential, a first for its V12 platform, managing torque across the rear axle. Its carbon fibre prop shaft handles high torque, transferring power from the transmission to the e-diff. 
The e-diff directs power across the rear axle, switching from open to locked in just 135 milliseconds, it boasts cornering agility and preeminent control in oversteer and high-speed lane changes, for superior stability in all conditions.
