Having enjoyed my Vanquish for the last 18 month I have been wanting to get something a bit sharper/quicker. I have test driven the new Lambo Hurican and I was taken back how much improved the car was, the gearbox,engine were exceptional and interior had a good quality feel about it. However, will be test driving the new updated Vanquish this Thursday, so I will hold judgement.

Will report back............

I guess you're talking about the "AM310" 2013 Vanquish ?

Anyway, a mid-engine car, as the Huracan, and a big heavy GT with front engine, as the Aston, can not be compared.
Even though the 2015 model-year Vanquish gets the 8-speed gearbox, it won't change the whole philosophy of the car, only the performance.

Just My 2 Cents.
Currently have 2013 vanquish, so looking forward to see if in real world terms the upgrade lives up to the hype. Dont get me wrong the current car is fast. However, being the flagship model it should be at the top of the tree in the AM line up. I have driven the Vantage S and found the internals a bit old school - IMO. Also the Vanquish takes golf clubs and still has good luggage space.
