We’re not entirely sure where to even start on this humdinger, but those of you that can remember back further than two weeks (not I) will recall Project Alligator, the absurdly named collaboration between Mercedes-Benz and Aston Martin. Back then, details were sketchy. Today, thanks to CAR UK, they are a little less so. Essentially, [...]
Possibly. First things first. Remember a few weeks back when we heard rumblings that Aston Martin’s Dr. Ulrich Bez intends to revive the Lagonda brand? Good. Now, when the news first broke, we (along with everyone else) assumed that the Lagonda Concept due to hit the auto show circuit next year would in fact be [...]
Y’all remember the Aston Martin One-77? In case you don’t, AM is planning to make a super-limited edition supercar with a 7.0-liter V12 and lots of carbon fiber. How limited? Just 77 examples in all. And, because of the over-extensive customization Aston’s offering to its customers, no car will be like any other car. Can [...]
While we’re admittedly excited about the upcoming Aston Martin Rapide, honestly it’s nothing more than a DB9 with two more doors and twleve more inches. Not so with the still wild after all these years Lagonda, which more closely resembles a Lamborghini Countach than the then contemporary Aston Martin V8. In fact, thirty-two years on, [...]
As you’ve no doubt heard, Aston Martin is readying a sleek 4-door to butt heads with with Porches upcoming Panamera sedan and the already existing Mercedes-Benz CLS and Maserati Quattroporte. Below the jump you’ll find some video of the Rapide running round the ‘Ring. And it looks fab. From the front and rear, it looks [...]
This could be huge, in my mind at any rate. Yesterday we learned that Aston Martin and Mercedes-Benz were forming a tag team and calling their off the top rope collaboration Project Aligator. Today Bez’s boys release a teaser image/rendering of a vehicle called the One-77. We have no idea if the two news items [...]
Ever since Ford sold off the top jewel in their PAG crown, Aston Martin’s man about town — Dr. Ulrich Bez — has been saying some funny things. You have to read between the lines to hear them (and as an unrepentant Aston-phile I pay closer attention than most) but when Aston Martin’s CEO says, [...]
Where should I start? First of all, Aston Martin made a slight boo-boo when they named a car “V8″ and then stuck a V12 in it. Second of all, Autoblog is calling it the “Vantage V12″ while Motor Authority is referring to it as the “Vantage V12 RS.” Third, AB’s claiming 600 horsepower while MA [...]
