When it comes to the performance, Aston Martin gave the Virage a set of Carbon Ceramic Matrix (CCM) brakes as standard, as well as a 'Sport' button which enables the driver to choose a sharper throttle response and faster gear changes. The Virage also features a newly developed Adaptive Damping System (ADS) that intelligently 'reads' the road to provide optimum road holding, adapting to various conditions.
