The big question will be whether Aston move to forced induction as per DB11. I feel that's as important as the gearbox.
I think this is a given really. I'm not an engineer or anything like, however I'd assume it's getting nigh-on impossible to carry on using NA 8's and 12's and meet the ever more stringent emissions rules whilst also increasing fuel efficiency at the same time. A very long time ago I bought an Series 1 1/2 E-Type from the US, the only way Jaguar could meet their regulations was to replace the SU Carbs with Strombergs which strangled it to death. Enterprising souls put a low-speed diff in them to improve the 0-55 mph times. I took it on the motorway & at 70 mph I thought I was in 2nd!! Didn't keep it long!
