Could This Become My Uncle's New Favorite Aston Martin?

     Because my uncle plays Forza Motorsport 4 his current favorite Aston Martin is the 2010 Aston Martin V-12 Vantage for its looks and performance. However what will happen if a Forza Motorsport 7 was created and featured the new 2018 Aston Martin Vanquish S? Let's learn more about the car to see if we can answer that question. 

     The 2018 Aston Martin Vanquish S is grand touring car equipped with a naturally aspirated 5.9 liter V-12 that delivers 592 hp and can help the car reach a maximum speed of 201 mph. Naught to sixty takes 3.5 seconds which is point 1 second slower than the Aston Martin V-12 Zagato I wrote about earlier. Torque is 465 lb-ft. The engine is coupled to a currently unknow gearbox. Given that Aston Martin has been recently putting sticks in their cars for gear changing don't be surprised if this new car gets one too. However I can see Aston putting in a flappy paddle gearbox with a dual-clutch transmission, but that's just what I think will happen. 

     Other than the exterior changes to certain areas like the grille, it would seem this Aston's interior thinks black "filograph" leather is the new alcantara. The steering wheel has also been given a makeover. The buttons and knobs are now placed in a "Chopped Carbon Fiber" fascia. This "Chopped Carbon Fiber" was used so much in the interior it replaced the traditional wood trim inside some well-known and not so well-known Aston Martins. Unfortunately nobody knows how this "Chopped Carbon Fiber" was created. It's possible Aston is guarding the technique like a loyal British knight would protect his king or queen.

     Prices for the 2018 Aston Martin Vanquish S will cost 199,950 pounds in the United Kingdom, 262,950 euros in Germany, and 294,950 dollars in the United States. To answer the question about my uncle liking this new Aston Martin better than the one from 2010 I believe the answer could very well be a yes.
