Aston Martin 6.0-liter V12 is a beautiful bike, with a great performance to boot. Looks good on paper, too. Take 420bhp at 6000rpm and 400 pounds ft of torque at 5000rpm, for starters. Then there was the transmission. Car manual we tested was equipped with a Tremec six-speed gearbox which is also used in the Corvette and Viper (five-speed automatic gearbox, as used in the BMW 750i is also available). The difference is that Aston Martin has installed transmission with closer ratios to match the perfect machine.
Changes to the exterior of the car is fine, but they add rather than take the standard DB7. The frame is more prominent, now the screen filled with horizontal bars, and driving lights and indicators have been combined. Under the skin there is more improvement: the area around the bulkhead and transmission tunnel have been made more rigid in order to provide more rigidity. Upper and lower front wishbones are new, such as vertical links. In the back of an additional link has been installed to handle the additional torque. To finish, rigid front and rear suspension is wrapped around the new gas-filled Bilstein dampers.
