The Valour is uniquely equipped with a bespoke six-speed manual transmission featuring an exposed gear linkage and a mechanical limited-slip differential, making it the only front-engined V12 sports car currently in production to offer a traditional manual gearbox. For buyers considering the Aston Martin Valour, that matters because it affects how easy the car is to live with, whether for commuting, family use, long-distance driving or ownership costs. The useful way to read this is not as an isolated specification, but as a clue to how the car will feel in real daily use.
