Aston Martin soon dir & agrave; goodbye to manual gearbox that will not be & agrave; more present on any model of him. Today, automatic transmission is becoming more and more; a constant also on sports cars. A trend that the & quot; purists & quot; do not like very much; of the guide that must, however, collide with a market that goes in this direction. Furthermore, cars have changed a lot in recent years and with the arrival of electrified solutions, investing in manual transmissions is not necessary; not even more & ugrave; affordable for car manufacturers. Of course there are always exceptions but the trend is; this.

TOWARDS THE DISAPPEARANCE OF THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION
The British brand has been trying for some time to continue to offer manual transmission on some of its models but apparently, by 2022 this option will disappear; from the range of its vehicles. The number one of the brand, Tobias Moers , speaking with journalists, in fact, anticipated that the future restyling of the Vantage AMR will be; proposed only with automatic transmission. Furthermore, also the future new Vanquish that will arrive; in 2022 will not adopt & agrave; a manual transmission.
This is a marked change from what former CEO Andy Palmer promised in the past. In fact, the former number one of the English brand intended to focus precisely on the manual gearbox as the strong point of Aston Martin, also to differentiate itself from other sports car manufacturers who more and more; they were switching to offering only automatic transmissions. Palmer wanted Aston Martin to be the latest sports car maker to offer manual transmission.
But Tobias Moers has decided not to go along with that. The manager also added that people “need to realize that sports cars have changed quite a lot.” The manual gearbox is therefore becoming more and more; a rarity; on high-performance models and in the not too distant future will probably risk; to completely disappear from these cars.
