A little discrepancy on torque. I wonder if the author of the cnet article has driven a stick: "It can automatically downshift for drivers who can't heel-toe"

Nice! Now if these proper transmissions become available in the DB11, my pocketbook is screwed.

V12Vin is on a distinguished road
Is it me or there's nothing really too special about this AMR version? Besides of course if you're a die hard fan of 1959 LM.

Its wrapped in leather but it looks massive, I'm guessing its the angle of the photo? I hope it is easier to change out than our current ones are where you have to remove the entire boot structure and take apart your frickin center console to change it

That's what it is, but if he knew what he was talking about, he wouldn't have described it as he did.
