We love Aston Martin for many things. The fact their CEO competes in the Nürburgring 24 hour race is clearly a very cool thing. But, this ‘Cynical’, a rebadged Toyota econobox, is definitely not a reason to love Aston. While it was always likely to be an inevitability, a little piece of me died when [...]

Aston Martin has dropped us a line to remind us that the release of the One-77 is drawing closer (early 2011). A new promo video can be viewed after the break. Before watching it, just remember this, with 750bhp and 750Nm on tap from the car’s 7.3 litre V12, it will have the world’s most [...]

Aston Martin have just taken the wraps of their latest special edition V8 Vantage. It’s called the N420; that’s N for Nürburgring and 420 for the number of horses under the bonnet. The Vantage has a proud record of racing at the Nürburgring 24 hour race. An Aston Martin Vantage has raced at the Ring [...]

The Aston Martin DB9 is one of the world’s best looking sports tourers. That’s probably why Aston’s engineer’s left well enough alone when designing this 2010 model update; “the most significant programme of upgrades since its world debut in 2003″, says the press guff . Yeah, I know, it looks just like the old one. [...]

Here at AUSmotive HQ we rate the Aston Martin DB5 from the James Bond films as the world’s coolest car. The allure of the Aston Martin marque and classic 1960s styling coupled with the Q-branch gadgets make it so. Soon, for the first time in over 40 years you will have a chance to buy [...]

Word on the interwebz is that some cashed up dude has put in an order for 10 Aston Martin One-77 hypercars. An order of that magnitude represents 13% of the car’s total production run. A bit greedy, perhaps? Even if I could, I’m not sure I would. But then, if I did have a lazy [...]

Deliveries of the Aston Martin Rapide have just begun. It’s a big few days for the Rapide, which makes a debut of another kind at next weekend’s Nürburgring 24 hour race. To celebrate these events AUSmotive presents a massive image gallery showcasing the Rapide in four colours; Magma Red, Hardly Green, Quantum Silver and Silver [...]

This Aston Martin One-77 was recently seen in London’s St James area. It joined a convoy of supercars en route to Silverstone to promote the FIA GT1 Championship. The video clip includes interior shots, as well as views of the car from all angles. Last month the same user who posted this clip to YouTube [...]

Aston Martin’s new four-door saloon, the Rapide, will be racing at this year’s Nürburgring 24 hour race. As usual Aston’s CEO Dr Ulrich Bez will be at the wheel of the Rapide for the race, despite having the choice of the Vantage V12 as well. The Rapide will hit the track as close to production [...]

The motoring landscape in the 21st century is far more complicated than it ever used to be. This is a world where the likes of the BMW GT, MINI Countryman and Porsche Cayenne are pushing their respective brands into segments that we never knew existed, much less knew such models could fill. It does appear [...]

Here is some official footage released by Aston Martin of their new Rapide four-door saloon being driven around Valencia. The Rapide has just been launched around the globe, including Australia, and local deliveries are expected before mid-year. You’ll need a smidge under AU$400K if you want one. The video itself is not spine-tingling as one [...]

Aston Martin are boasting that development of their One-77 supercar is currently up to speed. In fact, they have even put a figure on that speed—220.007mph to be exact. No, I don’t really believe the 007 bit is anything other than a marketing gimmick, either. Still, 220mph is bloody quick, in modern lingo that’s 354km/h. [...]

I wonder if the reason recent climate change talks in Copenhagen were considered a bit of a non-event is related to the arrival of two new “Carbon Black” Aston Martin special editions? Well, despite the company’s efforts with the questionable “Cynical”, Aston is hardly the world’s greenest car manufacturer. Like the COP15 discussions adding the [...]

Back in July Aston Martin shocked us all with the revelation they were developing a tiny little city car—the ‘Cygnet’. Well, actually, Toyota is doing the developing, mostly in the form of providing the iQ on which Aston can adorn its own design language. That process, in visual form at least, has been revealed today [...]

Australian pricing for the Aston Martin Rapide—the car the whole family can love—has been announced. Priced between the DB9 and DBS the 2010 Rapide will kick off at $366,280 plus all those horrible on road charges and dealer delivery fees. If you’ve a lazy $400K burning a hole in your pocket, then the good news [...]
