Aston Martin’s heaten: formally canceled the manual stop model, netizen: This time, there is no manual gear.

As the automatic gear penetration rate is getting higher and higher, the living space left to the manual gear has become increasingly narrow, and the model of the manual gear can be used in the stage can be divided into two categories. One is to pull down the manufacturing cost. The model, such as a passenger car of more than 80,000 yuan and commercial vehicles for the production value, while the other is a model of playing, such as Toyota 86, BMW M3, Porsche 911, hand gear can make driving The staff experienced the hard work of mechanical hardships, gaining better driving pleasure. Aston Martin’s own words: official cancellation, netizens: This time, there is no manual block

However, in the future, willing to be performance The car offers manual gear may reduce a family, because Aston Martin’s CEO said in an interview, the model Vantage AMR will cancel the hand stop when it will change the money next year, and it will not be in the future. Continue to provide a manual stop type.

It is satirically that five years ago, the CEO of Aston Martin also received media interviews, and said A Stun Martin will be the future of the future providing a manual mobile phone. It seems that I am afraid that I have a face again. Of course, as a company, the ultimate goal is to be profitable. The model that consumers will not choose to be “cut”, and the financial statements of Aston Martin cannot be satisfied.

In 2019, Aston Martin had a loss of 136 billion yuan before tax, the revenue lost 37 million pounds, down 9% year-on-year, and In the second year, it coincides with the epidemic of new crown. It is implemented in Fengcheng and restrictions in various regions. It has led to a decline in sales in the first half of the year. Most dealers are difficult to bear, and they can only choose to return or suspend business.

It is reported that Aston Martin has a total of 2.3 billion pounds in the first half of 2020. In order to turn the money as soon as possible, Aston Martin is to cater to the domestic SUV wave, emulate the practice of Landoji and Rolls Royce.Last year, I raised 688 billion pounds, driving the first SUV model DBX as soon as possible. Attempt to relieve the company’s financial crisis through the Chinese market.

In addition to the survival consideration, the market conditions at this stage are increasingly unfriendly, and the newly launched model power is more Strong, the strength requirements for the manual gear gearbox are getting higher and higher. For example, it is equipped with a 7-speed manual gearbox on Vantage Amr, produced by Italian vendors, and then adjusted by Aston Martin engineers to match this 4.0T V8 double turbocharged engine.

Although it seems that only three words can be said to be clear, but actually operate is extremely complicated, it takes a lot of human and labor. Moreover, after the manual transmission, the engine torque drops up to 61 nm, and in order to extend the service life, the maximum torque of the one or two gear is limited to 400 nm, so the acceleration time of 100 kilometers is even more slow than the automatic model. To know, choose the consumer of the purchase of super-run, which is particularly valued, which does not recognize the results of this non-retreat.

Furthermore, from Aston Martin’s brand adjustment, the manual gear is somewhat unreliable, and the model is Qing Dynasty luxury GT sports car, the main leader is cruising, not the track competition; and from the target group, most of them have a lot of people, have become a group of people, and the choice of Aston Martin is more Most of them represent one identity. On the contrary, Porsche 911 serves as a complete competitive model, and the number of consumers who choose to manually stop model will be significantly improved. According to the officially stated that the GT3 model has 70 percent users to choose manual gears. It can be seen that the different positioning consumers are not the same view.

In combination, Aston Martin’s future cancellation hand gear is mainly due to revenue pressure, user positioning, etc. Unfortunately, the future can bring us pure driving, and there are fewer manufacturers.One, and accompanied by electric vehicles, it seems to become more simple and simpler in accelerating this matter. I believe that in the future, the manual block is likely to withdraw from the historical stage, turn into a type of racing movement.
