This is a very rare 2005 Aston Martin Vanquish S with 1900 miles. One of very few that were made for the USA and
very likely the lowest mile and most pristine car left in the USA. This is a two owner car that has all service up
to date, no blemishes, no paint work, no stories. The car has always been serviced at a factory authorized Aston
dealer. The car comes with all the items that came with the car when new. (all keys, charger, umbrella, new indoor
car cover, books and records). This is the car for the collector that must have the lowest mile and best Vanquish S
left in the country. Being the best driving Aston ever made this is likely to be a very desirable and valuable car
in the future. Aston acknowledges how special this car is by classifying the Vanquish S under their “Heritage
Program” which is the designation they use for their most significant and collectible models. This 2+2 Vanquish
S is a beautiful grey color called Meteorite Silver over Phantom Grey interior. The car has the rear seat option
and has an original MSRP of $268,000.The car is stored in a climate controlled storage facility in Westchester NY
and viewing can be arranged during normal business hours.
Some info on the rare Vanquish S model:
The 2005 Aston Martin Vanquish S was produced as a true supercar from Aston to mark the last of the hand made cars,
the last car made at the Newport Pagnell factory which started with the DB4 in 1958. It was the final and last of
the cars made all by hand with true fine craftsmanship.
Each Vanquish S took over 400 hours of labor to produce.
Upgrades to the S from a standard Vanquish include more power rated at 520 bhp up from 460 bhp in a standard
Vanquish. Bigger revised grille, front splitter and raised rear spoiler built into the boot lid to keep the car
stable at higher speeds. The car also has 20% more direct steering, larger brakes and unique wheels. The
Vanquish/Vanquish S is also the only Aston to get a carbon fiber roll bar in the engine bay and a 100% full flat
under floor like race cars.
The S was a true supercar with a top speed rated over 200 MPH, and an engine sound no other modern Aston can beat.
A very unique raw feel to this car without DSC, only a limited slip differential and traction control.
The gearbox is not an automatic with torque converter, it is a manual with electro-hydraulic clutch so you have
full control over the engine.
A very rare car with a total of 711 left hand drive Vanquish S models ever made with less than half of those
imported to the USA.
This is likely to be one of the most collectible and valuable Astons ever made, and likely the only modern Aston
that will ever be highly collectible. Prices have already risen in Europe significantly ahead of the price here in
the US.

Ford's J Mays feels vindicated by Fusion reception

Tue, 25 Sep 2012

It's hard to think back now, but the same man overseeing the design of the 2013 Ford Fusion also presided over a rather lackluster period in Ford design, highlighted by vehicles like the Five Hundred and Freestyle. With the redesigned Fusion receiving high praise, J Mays tells Automotive News that he feels vindicated from criticisms suggesting he's not a daring enough designer.
When Mays took over as lead of design in 1997, he admits to having quite an ego ("My head would barely fit through the door some days. I've long since gotten over myself") and the workload to match. With the Blue Oval's portfolio full of premium brands like Aston Martin, Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo at that point, along with the bread-and-butter Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models, Mays certainly had quite the challenge.
It was in the mid-2000s that Mays took over just the premium brands, and took on the new title of Chief Creative Officer. At the time, Mays endured some criticism for looking backwards to retro styling, rather than setting a new standard for American car design - criticism that Mays says he is free from with the all-new Fusion.

Lotus and Aston Martin to hook up?

Tue, 30 Oct 2012

This has been a tumultuous year for Lotus - to say the least - from the company being sold off back in January to its CEO Dany Bahar being fired in June to its questionable financial status and rumors of the British automaker being sold off to another automaker. First, we heard that Volkswagen was interested in acquiring Lotus and parent company Proton, a rumor that was later dismissed. Now Automobile is reporting that fellow Brit Aston Martin could be in the market to work with or possibly even merge with Lotus.
While this is pure speculation at this point, such a venture could prove to be beneficial for both independent companies. That's because with Lotus focused on lightweight, relatively affordable sports cars and Aston Martin producing high-end performance cars, there is virtually no product overlap between the companies. The article suggests that a person or company wanting to merge these two automakers would have to raise between $1.1 billion and $1.6 billion in order to make a go of it, however.
We're not sure what to think of this latest rumor, but anything that can help get the struggling brand back to health at least has our interest.

Mercedes increases stake in Aston Martin

Wed, 06 Aug 2014

As part of an increasingly close partnership, Mercedes-Benz parent company Daimler is reportedly preparing to increase its stake in Aston Martin by another one percent, bringing the German automaker's shares in the British company up to five percent.
The rapprochement between the two has been in the works for years now, and is finally beginning to take form. Mercedes-AMG is in the midst of developing a new engine with and for Aston Martin in an apparently similar arrangement to that which it has with Pagani. But that's not the extent of it.
Daimler will also furnish Aston Martin with electrical systems and other components, said to lead up to the eventual sharing of platforms: one to underpin future GTs and another to serve as the basis for a long-mooted Aston Martin crossover, now said to be back on the table and slated to launch in 2017. The prospect of using the partnership to reinvigorate both the Lagonda and Maybach luxury brands, however, has since been taken off the table, with both parties continuing those projects independently.
