An engine that can reach 62mph in 3.6 seconds with a top speed of 211mph needs a very special transmission. The ZF 8HP95 gearbox gives DBS the most sophisticated driveline yet. Nestling between the rear wheels for optimal weight distribution, it not only adapts to the way you drive but offers a choice of characters according to the mode you select. Even the gear shifts have their own style, silky smooth in the GT Coupe, sharp and urgent in the Sport and Sport Plus.

An elegant quartet of matte black exhausts shares the peerless song of the DBS V12 with the world, both inside and outside the car. Underscored by the engine's reassuring growl, it's music to your ears.
