Ulrich Bez stated that an Aston Martin Rapide will be put on a charity auction at the event held by Bonhams in Newport Pagnell. They hope to sell this vehicle at a price that will really make the difference and help the Japanese people that are suffering from the earthquake and the tsunami wave that followed. The model in question...
I do not have a particular taste for information regarding the lifestyle of the rich and the famous or anything worldly and such. I am willing to make a concession from my normal preferences, for a special occasion such as the one here, the appearance of a glorious and very rare Aston Martin at the Royal Wedding. Some of you...
Aston Martin's production cars may be some of the most desirable around but the racers aren't exactly up on the same podium. For a few years now, the British company used the Aston Martin DBRS9 as a representative in the motor sports scene and that's just the thing. It's time Aston Martin had it replaced. A replacement would clearly be...
Aston Martin isn't the sort of company that updates is products very often so once they got done working on the Virage, they pretty much took a tea break. Before the British did that they did realize that people needed some news from them so they cropped up a press release of new photos of their 2011 Aston Martin V8...
The British are deceitful. It seems that after Aston Martin told us the Lagonda would be a proper four door supersports saloon, we're now back to the SUV. That's right folks, the Aston Martin Lagonda has been confirmed for production and it's going to be the hideous SUV that was revealed at the Geneva Motor Show back in 2009. Sadly,...
The British at Aston Martin have made plenty of beautiful cars throughout their history and their DB9 is the darling of the UK market. But when you've achieved this much with your past and present, it's easy to see how one company could feel the pressure of the future. What isn't easy to see is how fans of the company...
No matter how many Aston Martin Cygnet style workarounds you come up with, being an independent car maker which makes no engine that's smaller than 4.3 liters does tend to catch up with you at one point or another. The British at Aston Martin seem to have realized that and there's now a rumor going round about how they are...
By the end of the year the British from Aston Martin decided to introduce three new special editions for DB9. Namely, the new versions are the DB9 Carbon Black, DB9 Morning Frost and DB9 Quantum Silver, available with the V12 6.0-liter engine able to develop 470 horsepower but also available both for the coupe and convertible body styles. There is...
I for one always reckoned that Mercedes' Maybach brand is the most straight forward and no nonsense one out there. For some reason or other, most of the journalistic media would prefer to mock it and favoring creations by Bentley and Rolls Royce to it. I understand the appeal of those cars but I don't understand why Maybach is failing....
The well-known Playboy magazine decided to make its own top including several categories, the most important one being the Car of the Year, and this year, the award goes to Mercedes SLS AMG. Thus, the German supercar has been picked as the hottest car launched this year, getting the big prize - the Car of the Year award. However, there...
According to some sources, Aston Martin managed to sell about 60 units of One-77, the limited edition which is manufactured in just 77 units. The British manufacturer already got 60 orders for the One-77 supercar, a model which is not very affordable as it comes with a price tag of about 1,9 million dollars. What's so special with this model?...
Racing isn't the sort of business where one model lasts long these days. This is why Aston Martin have decided to revamp their GT4 racer. The 2011 Aston Martin Vantage GT4 replaces a racing model that's just one year old but performance never sleeps. The 2011 Aston Martin Vantage GT4 uses the engine from the V12 Vantage and the chassis...
The term baby Aston Martin has been used to refer to the V8 Vantage up until now but things are about to change. The newest, smallest Aston Martin the British company makes is the Cygnet and it just had its global debut. The global debut of the Aston Martin Cygnet didn't really take place in the usual fashion one would...
Actually, the Aston Martin Rapide tries to go over the top. I know it has many strong points but for a family car it also has many many problems. Anyway, what I say doesn't stop it selling and the British don't mind this, but they do want to make Aston Martin Rapide owners get even more exclusivity. Seeing as massive...
It seems that the London place where they held this particular auction has managed to stay well away from the financial crisis and what not economic worries. I say that because anybody who can afford to spend 4.6 million dollars on a car, albeit an Aston Martin DB5, is definitely not the sort of person that worries about bouncing checks....
It seems that the little city car the coolest brand in the UK was showcasing at this spring's Geneva Motor Show will hit the production line soon. Back at the infamous motor show this was nothing more than a Toyota IQ based luxury supermini done by Aston Martin as an attempt to keep in tune with annoying emissions legislation. Most...
The British manufacturer revealed officially the convertible version of Vantage model. The Vantage N420 Roadster benefits from new rims, a slighty lower mass and a new suspension set. The Aston Martin V8 Vantage N420 Roadster comes with a manual six-speed transmission but also with an automatic Sportshift one. The same V8 4.7-liter engine, able to develop 420 horsepower, hidden under...
When you first hear of the name D2Forged, what is the most likely thing to spring to mind? You got it, wheels, as this tuning company from the United States specializes in them. But this doesn't mean that it should be its only source of revenue. And both for tuning fans and for Aston Martin V8 Vantage fans, D2Forged has...
Lately an interesting rumor concerning the Aston Martin Super Sport has surfaced. It seems that the supercar will be developed by Aston Martin in a partnership with a company from France that produces... custom golf carts. Okay, so this may have all the odds of being tossed in the bin especially if we think that Aston Martin hasn't officially confirmed...
A couple of things are worthy of consideration regarding limited production models: you might buy one because there is a very big chance that no one else in the vicinity also has one, you might want to collect all the models from the manufacturer, so the previous model doesn't matter. But what if the said manufacturer rolled out something not...
