Hot on the heels of the stunning, recently launched Vanquish, Aston Martin unveils their brand new supercar: the V12 Vantage S. Like the Vanquish the Vantage S now sports Aston’s signature AM28 6.0-liter V12 powerplant, a big step up from the former Vantage’s more pedestrian V8. But just like its younger sibling, the V12 Vantage [...]
There are several major automotive milestones going on in 2013, including the 50th Anniversary of Lamborghini and the iconic Porsche 911. Add to the list venerable British automaker Aston Martin, which is celebrating its 100th Anniversary with one of the uglier cars we’ve seen a looong time. The malformed CC100 Speedster Concept was “inspired” by [...]
After holding its final design under wraps since the first teaser pics were revealed last week, images of Bentley’s new Flying Spur were released today ahead of its global premier March 5 at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. With really only Rolls-Royce hovering in its stratosphere (with possibly Aston Martin hanging around in the peripherals), Bentley [...]
Nicolas Stecher jumped in the Aston Martin DBS Volante Carbon Edition to find out why Mr. Bond loves his Astons so. With 510 horsepower and a 190 mph top speed growling forth from its 5.9-liter V-12, that should seem obvious. But despite — or perhaps, even because of — its many quirks, the car belongs [...]
Aston Martin teams up with venerable British cycle builder Factor Bikes to craft a 2-wheeled ode to Aston’s halo vehicle: the highly exclusive One-77 hypercar.

After the recent announcements of its AM 310 Vanquish and DBS Ultimate, Aston Martin returns today with the unveiling of its latest supercar: the V12 Vantage Roadster. The Vantage Roadster is outfitted with the same 6.0-liter naturally-aspirated V12 engine found in the Vantage Coupé, which is just fine and dandy from this perspective: 510hp (380kW) and [...]
After revealing performance figures for its DBS-successor AM 310 Vanquish this week, British automaker Aston Martin is planning to expand its product line next month with the addition of a limited edition superbike, the One-77. The Aston Martin-brand two-wheeler will feature the same “motorsport-delivered data logging system” as the Factor001 by Factor Bikes, meaning it [...]
While rumors and leaked images have been floating around the interwebs recently (including an unofficial presentation at the Villa d’Este Concourse), finally Aston Martin announced details of its DBS followup, the AM 310 Vanquish.
