The V8 uses a 4.7-litre V8 with six-speed manual transmission or six-speed automated “sport-shift” transmission mounted mid-rear. The Vantage S model also uses the 4.7-litre but with higher power output and with a new seven-speed Sport Shift transmission or six-speed manual. The V12 uses a 6.0-litre V12 engine with six-speed manual transmission.
