Enhance your looks without plastic surgery. You WILL look good driving this car. A rare, timeless classic design, the DB7 i-6 is said to have the purest lines of all the DB7 models. This car has been garaged for the past 10 years. Every repair and service document since 2004 comes with the car. Only 269 1997 DB7 i6 Volantes were brought into the US, and only an estimated 879 i6 Volantes were produced worldwide. Enhancements and features: Classic Gray leather interior with black piping Alacantra headliner Burl wood GT interior door pulls Half wood wheel and shift knob Dealer installed starter button Flush mounted Quicksilver exhaust to provide a little more aural authority Factory option 18” Speedline alloy wheels, rare and highly desirable Aston Martin valve caps Six cylinder supercharged developing 335 HP base, a tad more with the BBR upgrade and Quicksilver exhaust Stainless mesh upper and lower front grille GT strake Tonneau cover (useless, except for show) Extra headlight pod and Speedline wheel BBR stage 2 supercharger upgrade and ECU remap, one of a handful of cars in the U.S. with this upgrade. The upgrade changes the shift points to make them smoother and adds a few horsepower, essentially changing the car to more satisfactory level and making it the way it should have come out of the factory Impeccably well maintained This is a beautiful car with excellent mechanicals. All hoses have recently been replaced, rad core replaced. As with most low production Aston Martin cars, this one comes with its own unique set of quirks. The check engine light comes on when there’s nothing wrong. Transmission memory doesn’t take at startup and car needs to be turned off and restarted (rare). The window motors and control modules need replacing. This is not a concours car, it’s a car that has been driven and cared for.

Motor Trend pits Aston V12 Vantage S against Jaguar XKR-S GT in battle of the Brits

Fri, 20 Dec 2013

With the recent increase in higher-performance versions of already high-performance vehicles, like Mercedes-Benz and its AMG Black Series, the public is now gaining even greater access to speed and maneuverability. Two of the most recent sports cars to get their wicks turned up include the Jaguar XKR-S GT and the Aston Martin V12 Vantage S.
Both of these cars are the pinnacles of their lines, with the Jag lording over the XKR-S, XKR and XK while the Aston rules over the standard V8 Vantage S and V8 Vantage. Motor Trend has opted to pit the two rivals together for some thorough testing, and it just happened to bring along a few video cameras to capture all the action.
There's nearly 19 minutes of super hot sports car action below, so scroll down and enjoy.

Aston Martin and Lotus each issue recalls

Sun, 14 Oct 2012

A pair of head-turning high performance cars are catching some attention off a different kind, in the form of safety recalls. Aston Martin and Lotus have issued recalls for the V12 Vantage Coupe and Evora, respectively.
Aston Martin's affects 169 examples of the 2009-2012 V12 Vantage Coupe. It concerns the tire-pressure monitoring system, and is less a malfunction than it is a compliance issue. The TPMS does not alert the driver until the front tire is more than 25 percent below the recommended cold tire pressure. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 138 states that the alarm must sound when tire pressure is "equal to or less than either the pressure 25 percent below" the recommended cold inflation pressure. To address the issue, Aston Martin will notify owners and reprogram the software, free of charge.
As for Lotus, 80 supercharged Evoras have been recalled, all built between February and September, 2011. The problem involves an engine-mounted oil feed pipe, which could rupture, causing loss of engine oil or a possible fire if the oil sprays onto a hot engine.

Mercedes to offer SL, GL platforms to Aston Martin?

Sun, 23 Mar 2014

The agonizingly slow courtship between Aston Martin and Mercedes-Benz has been a regular topic of conversation ever since the 2009 Lagonda Concept debuted, riding on a Mercedes GL chassis. Beyond that one polarizing concept, though, nearly every other attempt to pair the two brands up in a major way has fallen through. Only the technical partnership between Mercedes and Aston for certain components from AMG, which was negotiated back in July, has held up so far.
That may finally be set to change, according to an excellent profile of the two brands' relationship from Automobile, which claims that two platforms will unite the Germans and Brits. The first tie up is, not surprisingly, a sports car.
As Aston Martin's VH platform - which underpins every car that comes out of Gaydon - continues to age, the pressure will well and truly be on Aston to find a next-gen replacement to underpin the successors to the Vantage, Vanquish, DB9 and Rapide. Automobile claims Mercedes has just such an architecture, in the form its new modular sports car platform. This new platform is slated for the next-generation SLK and SL and is still in its design infancy.
