The official Aston Martin twitter feed brought our attention to the One-77 you see above. The car is powered by a 7.3 litre V12 and made its Australian debut a couple of weeks back at the Palazzo Versace on the Gold Coast. Taking a look at the Queensland plates you’ll soon guess the car is [...]
Next year marks 100 years since the birth of Aston Martin. Pretty cool, huh. And to celebrate the centenary they’re making a brand new car. Not another rehash of an existing model with frilly bits, but a brand new creation. Given Aston’s talent for making stunning looking machines this has made us a bit excited. [...]
Even with its Meccano-like rear wing we still like the Aston Martin V12 Zagato quite a lot. So we’re not too proud to admit that there was a little, erm, movement when we saw this pic during our twitter rounds this morning. Just 150 V12 Zagatos will ever be made, so it’s quite a coup [...]
Great news for Aston Martin with word via their latest accounts that business is booming. Headlining the financial figures is confirmation all of their One-77 supercars have now been sold.

The car you’re looking at used to be an Aston Martin V8 Vantage. It was being driven by Ivan Thompson and Karl Francis in the Rally Calder event on the weekend. You can see video of the massive crash after the break. Be safe knowing both driver and co-driver are okay. Although the co-driver was [...]
Aston Martin has released a new promo video of the V12 Zagato. It will be on show in Geneva after making its public debut in Kuwait, of all places. They say no cars were harmed in the making of the clip. We’d say the ego of the director was. With the material available to work [...]

Evo magazine has assembled 10 of the world’s best performance cars to try and establish which one they think was the best to hit the market in 2011. Following a few phone calls, 10 turned into 11 when they added the just released BMW M5 to the list. As you would. The results of eCOTY [...]
Roberto Ricci, Italian surfboard maker, is a pretty wealthy dude. Wealthy enough to buy an Aston Martin Rapide only to carelessly crash it after asking himself “what does this button do?” Afterwards it all seemed a bit of a laugh, really. Perhaps he should have spent some of his money on driving lessons. Check out [...]
With models like the Vantage, Virage and even the four-door Rapide, Aston Martin is considered a leader in automotive design. Never mind that the cars are also pretty decent as well.

By being associated with that thing above, Moss has allowed himself to be used in the marketing of one of the most cynical automotive exercises known to man. With apologies to WH Auden: [...]
