If you’ve been a really, really good boy or girl this year, we’ve got the perfect addition to your holiday wish list. It would seem Aston Martin has decided to open up its world-renowned driving school to us peons. For the low, low price of $2,500 you can slide into any one of the company’s [...]
Blame it on fuel economy standards. As much as we’d love to say this some sort of twisted, way late April Fool’s gag, it’s not. Aston Martin has announced the company is partnering with Toyota to produce a minicar. And which fuel sipper will Yota offer up for the uber-lux treatment? None other than the [...]
Aston Martin has rolled out a slew of new photos of the V12 Vantage in all of its hood-louvered glory. The new Vantage gets slathered in weight-saving goodies like a carbon-fiber driveshaft to offset the poundage from four extra cylinders, helping to keep its curb weight within 100 pounds of the V8 Vantage. Powered by [...]
Upon showing off the complete, production version of Aston Martin’s One-77 yesterday, loyal Fiend Jeff Glucker pointed out he’d rather have a Bugatti Veyron. I’m not usually one to snub one piece of insane metal for another, but I have to make an exception in this case. Aside from all the mystique and awesome that [...]
In the flesh and as delicious as promised, the Aston Martin One-77 was unveiled in Villa d’Este, Italy last weekend. Priced in the stratospheric $2 million range, company CEO Ulrich Bez declared the One-77 wasn’t built to rival the Bugatti Veyron. Honest. The One-77 is a feather weight compared to the multi-ton behemoths we’ve seen [...]
Aston Martin has finally let loose a volley of photos of its sleek supersaloon. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: I’d take a Rapide over a Panamera any day of the week. No word on when we can expect to see this beauty on the streets, but expect a 6.0-liter V12 with [...]
It looks like the supersaloon fight just got a lot less interesting. According to a report in Autocar, Lamborghini R&D guru Maurizio Reggiani has said the four-door bull is dead in the water. Reggiani had previously said the sedan could be ready as soon as 2011, but it seems the higher ups couldn’t see much [...]
Aston Martin has rolled out the latest of its tell-alls about the company’s sexy One-77. The short video shows off the car’s high-tech, carbon-fiber drenched chassis. Aston Martin also says that all of the sound, vibration and otherwise feel-good stuff that’s usually banished to the elements will be channeled straight through the cockpit. We like. [...]
Aston Martin took its new Le Mans toy out to play recently. The occasion marked the first time the car saw a competition track since its construction. How’d it look? Perfect isn’t the word. Purposeful. That’s what I’d call it. The day didn’t end without incident. The car numbered 007 sustained heavy damage at the [...]
By now you’ve probably heard all about Aston Martin’s Lagonda ute. Feel free to take my stony silence on the rig as an indictment. Four passenger? Sure. V12? Absolutely. Sport Utility? I’m sorry, the correct answer was low-slung Grand Tourer. Thanks for playing. I’m done, promise.
