Roadmap

ASTON MARTIN WON GREAT ACCLAIM AT LE MANS, WHEN THE 1.5L MODEL TOOK A CLEAN SWEEP OF THE PODIUM PLACES WITHIN ITS CLASS AT THE 1933 RACE.

ROAD CAR PRODUCTION NUMBERS CONTINUED TO INCREASE THROUGHOUT THE 1930S WITH 140 CARS BEING BUILT IN 1937, THE HIGHEST PRE-WAR FIGURE.

1939 SAW THE PRODUCTION OF THE ASTON MARTIN ATOM, AN AVANT-GARDE PROTOTYPE DEVELOPED USING AN EARLY FORM OF SPACE-FRAME CHASSIS AND INDEPENDENT SUSPENSION - A FURTHER DEVELOPMENT OF ASTON MARTIN'S ENGINEERING EXCELLENCE.

A RICH AND PRESTIGIOUS HERITAGE DEFINES ASTON MARTIN AS SOMETHING TRULY UNIQUE WITHIN AUTOMOTIVE HISTORY.

FOUNDED IN 1913 BY ROBERT BAMFORD AND LIONEL MARTIN AS 'BAMFORD & MARTIN LTD', THE COMPANY HAS DEVELOPED INTO AN ICONIC BRAND SYNONYMOUS WITH LUXURY AND ELEGANCE. 1914 SAW THE BIRTH OF THE NAME ‘ASTON MARTIN’ FOLLOWING ONE OF LIONEL MARTIN'S SUCCESSFUL RUNS AT THE ASTON HILL CLIMB IN BUCKINGHAMSHIRE, ENGLAND. WITHIN A YEAR THE FIRST ASTON MARTIN HAD BEEN BUILT AND REGISTERED WITH THE NAME AND BY 1920 THE BUSINESS HAD RELOCATED TO KENSINGTON.

I’d love to have one of these. Super loud and exciting Drive & Sound with the all new 2013 Aston Martin Vanquish powered by a massive 6.0 V12 with 573 hp and 620 Nm of torque. A few weeks ago I had the awesome opportunity to drive this very exclusive top of the range Aston Martin. Although the same V12 finds its way in other Aston Martin Models, specifically this Vanquish exhaust system produces a sound from another world.
