The Touchtronic II is the name given my Aston Martin for the 6HP26 six speed automatic transmission by there German manufacturer ZF Friedrichshafen. It has been used in the DB9, DBS, earlier examples of the 310 Vanquish and the Rapide. It uses switch by wire technology where the conventional gear leaver is replaced by PRND buttons on the dashboard. Also uses magnesium alloy paddles behind the steering wheel for instant manual F-1 style gear changes.
