The thesis

The final naturally aspirated V12 Aston Martin offered with a 7-speed dog-leg manual (2017–2018 only), making it exceptionally rare within the 1,318 total S Coupes produced. The 565hp 5.9-litre AM28 engine is the last of the in-house V12s before Mercedes partnership. Manual versions command £75,000–£120,000 versus £50,000–£75,000 for Sportshift. Early cycle: too new to be 'classic' but the manual/NA V12 combination is irreplaceable and undervalued versus 997 GT3 RS.
