The V8 Vantage is standard with a 6 speed box made by Graziano and can now be ordered with a sequential system like the DB9.

-The Vanquish has a steel chassis, the DB9 and V8 Vantage both have aluminum space frame chassis

-The DB9 and Vanquish can be ordered with four seats, they come standard with 2, the V8 Vantage only has 2 seats.

I just want to add to this - the DB9 Sports Package

From an outside glance there is little is to separate it from the standard, noticeably there is a new 5 spoke alloy ; the new alloy is forged from aluminum and benefit from titanium lug nuts. The result of the titanium nuts cuts 1kg for each corner of the car.

However it's what you can not see are the items which improve the DB9 ten-fold. The basic ride height has been lowered by 6mm, on another note the front springs increases stiffness by 68 percent and the rear's by 64 percent. A rather big surprise is that the undertray diffuser has been replaced so that Aston could forge the floor of the undertray from aluminum and as a result torsional stiffness increases.
