How fast is an auto 3.2 DB7?

[TWINTURBODAVE]

Hi...does anyone actually own a 3.2 auto DB7 and can tell me the actual 0-60 and 0-100 times? ...Everything I find refers to cars with manual gearboxes...just curious to see how its compares with an xk8/xkr ( i have an xk8)...

Identical capacity engine and automatic gearbox. Only trying to help.
What is the bhp of the Aston Martin 3.2 engine?


Edited.
I now see that the engine is a Jaguar straight six supercharged 335 bhp.
The performance therefore must be much quicker, than the same capacity Mercedes.

Hmmm. detect a slight hint of sarcasm! ...the joys of ( Gayden era ) Aston ownership, no doubt?...

Many many thanks...I am very new to the interweb... it seems they complete 0-60 somewhere between 6 and 6.4 seconds..perfectly respectable...and in the same ballpark as a 4.0 n/a XK8...

I am, however, thinking about the purchase of a V8 Vantage with a manual gearbox...despite 'only' having a Jaguar engine!...are these 'proper' Astons?....

I stand corrected...I was under the impression the Aston V8 engine was a 'tuned' Jaguar AJ8...but actually it's a bona fide race engine...very interesting!...I will keep you posted on my foray into Aston territory!
