All is mated with stop-start system and standard eight-speed ZF automatic transmission which replaces the previous six-speed manual gearbox. Compared with the current 5.9sec of the V8 S, the 2012 GTS receive a slight boost in performance. This turns in a better sprint time from 0 to 62mph at 5.7sec and as expected the top speed is also slightly higher at 162mph instead of 160mph.
