If you have more questions or want more details please email : cleotildemauro@netzero.net . Whereas professionally made-up, creatively retouched supermodels may not always look as good in person as they do
on a magazine cover, the Vanquish is exactly the opposite: a masterpiece of proportion, commandingly blending
elegance, power, and purpose. And this "almost new" Vanquish is exactly that. To stand in front of it is simply
mesmerizing. Just opening the hood serves up a feast of aluminum, magnesium, and other beautifully finished
materials. Even the shock-tower brace is made of naturally finished carbon fiber. Elaborate light-metal chimneys
duct hot air from the exhaust-manifold area out though functional vents in the hood. Elegance. Luxury and Speed.
James Bond "style".

No car stands any chance of being a great car without a great engine, and the this Vanquish certainly packs the
house in that department. Its 6.0L/ 460-hp V-12 is a development of the 420-hp unit of the previous DB7 Vantage.
The cabin is a study in aluminum and Connolly leather. Seating is superb: aggressive enough to support and hold you
in place, but never overly firm. Turning the ignition key and nailing the starter button is rewarded with a
sophisticated, barrel-chested, not-overly-muffled bark as the big 12 lights off. Even though the Vanquish motor is
the same displacement as the DB7 Vantage's earlier gen V-12, this one is wholly more aggressive: cammier, edgier,
and just flat louder. Aston-Martin's pipe benders and muffler mavens deserve an Academy Award for Best Achievement
in Sound. Aston claims that this flagship will do 0-60 mph in 4.5 sec. It's just got power everywhere:
musclecar-like torque down low, high-revving power up top, and even though the transmission has six gears, it could
get by with two, given the flexibility and width of the powerband. Open the throttles, and the intake and exhaust
systems just howl; back off, and it's quiet on the cruise. Production? Well, it was a rare one at that: Perhaps 60
of them were made in 2002, out of 200 or so built. Production increased to 300 the next year. And they were all
presold...even with a base price of $228,000.

Today, you can own one for a third of that. And their value continues to increase. This is the car that launched
Aston Martin's current direction. However, in my opinion, they got it right the first time. The "Vanquish". A
Legend.

Aston Martin signs Letter of Intent for technical partnership with AMG

Thu, 25 Jul 2013

A little over two months ago came reports that Daimler and Aston Martin were in talks, again, about "supply and technical-cooperation agreements." The next step has been taken with Aston Martin announcing that it has signed a Letter of Intent that looks "towards a technical partnership" with Mercedes-AMG GmbH, and the two companies aiming to have definitive agreements done by year's end.
While it will get to use certain electric and electronic components from AMG, the true golden egg for the maker of the Vanquish will be the ability to develop a new line of "bespoke V8 powertrains" that will be fitted to "a new generation of models." In return for opening up the larder, Daimler will get a non-voting stake of up to five percent of Aston Martin.
Nothing else is being said about the tie-up for the moment, but there's a press release below with a few more details.

Nissan could have bought a stake in Aston Martin as early as 2012

Mon, 08 Sep 2014

Aston Martin has a very interesting future ahead of it. While the British brand appeared to be struggling with aging tech for a while, fresh investment from Daimler may have shown a light toward the future with the brand getting engines and electronics from them. Also, former Renault-Nissan top exec Andy Palmer has jumped ship from the French/Japanese automaker to become CEO of the much smaller sports car company. Interestingly, though, new reports from unnamed Nissan sources have indicated that Palmer has been pushing to work with AM for years.
Three unnamed company insiders told Reuters that Palmer made attempts to convince Renault-Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn in 2012 and 2013 to invest in Aston Martin, but his proposals were shot down both times for unspecified reasons, according to Automotive News. "We looked carefully at the proposal but we passed on it," said one of the sources.
You can easily see why Palmer was eying Aston Martin even back in 2012. It's no secret that the British sports car mavens were in need of extra funding, well before the Daimler investment. Building vehicles these days is only getting more expensive with stronger safety and emissions requirements. Just look at the brand's desperate hope to get a side-impact crash exemption to keep selling its models in the US as an example.

Supercar parade entering highway is mesmerizing

Thu, 09 May 2013

In what must have looked and sounded to motorists on the M6 like an invasion of The Swarm, a parade of 50 enthusiast gems leaving a charity event were caught shooting down the on-ramp and merging into traffic. There were plenty of Porsches joining the 959 and Ducktail above, Aston Martins going back to the badboy V8 of the last millennium, a Ferrari Testarossa, a TVR and numerous other Easter eggs.
There were not, however, plenty of turn signals, with someone counting just five among the fifty engaging in proper use of the blinker. One reason put forth for that is the same reason we're posting this video, which is from last Summer, below: "because supercar." Enjoy.
