Thrice hooray!

Manual transmissions are on the road to the panda’s of the world to be. Yes, they have a large fan base, but there must have twisted a lot of effort to be done to them in the year 2015 still exist. So many brands prefer to transmissions with dual clutch and the manual gearbox is doomed to a life as puristenspeelgoed to lead.

At Aston Martin is the handbakhaat something less intense. The successor of the V8 Vantage, that in 2018 the light of day can see, is just available with a manual gearbox, if you shift the automatic transmission not blieven. That announced Aston Martins’s head of design Marek Reichman to Jay Leno, when he DB10 Bond car to the petrolhead in his spacious garage came show for an episode of Jay Leno’s Garage (that has recently from YouTube to a television station received a phd).

No air conditioning

And that gives us a reason to Jay Leno’s video of the DB10 here. In which we hear that, in six months time to ten copies of its built, not a single unit has air-condition, tyres are fitted that are intentionally less grip, and the windows are not down. But that’s not necessary, because the stuntcoureurs were for the filming of Spectre on the roof.
