First new photos of the Aston Martin V12 Zagato Ahead of a debut in Kuwait in two weeks, we have the first official photos – interior and exterior – of the production version of the Aston Martin V12 Zagato. So far we’ve had just one outside picture of the production version of the Aston Martin V12 Zagato, and [...]
The production ready version of the Aston Martin V12 Zagato we first saw at Villa D’Este will be unveiled at the Kuwait Concours d’Elegance in February. Last spring saw the Aston Martin V12 Zagato – spiritual successor to the Aston Martin DB4GT Zagato – arrive at Villa D’Este, looking every bit as good as you would expect an Aston Martin by Zagato to [...]
Aston Martin boss Ulrich Bez has reportedly confirmed that Aston Martin will launch a Roadster version of the V12 Vantage at Geneva 2012. When Aston Martin launched the V12 Vantage – all the fun of the V8 Vantage but with proper V12 goodness – AM declared it a limited edition model. But as we reported back [...]
Daimler has confirmed that the Maybach marque will be dropped in 2013, to be replaced by a Pullman version of the 2014 Mercedes S Class. We’ve been preidtcing the demise of Maybach for some time. After all, who wants an old S Class with chintzy trim and lots of toys for more money than a [...]
The rumours are continuing to grow that Aston Martin are scouring the car world for a buyer, despite denials from AML. Aston Martin has just been voted the coolest brand in Britain – for the 393rd time – and are relishing the kudos that gives the Aston Martin brand. Good news. Not only are Aston [...]
Aston Martin are to take a pair of ‘new’ models to Frankfurt in the DBS Carbon Edition Coupe and DBS Carbon Edition Volante. There must come a point, somewhere along the line, where Aston Martin actually makes a new car. But that’s no time soon, so the new models are a further re-hash of the range with [...]
AML has revealed the production version of the Aston Martin V12 Zagato, which goes on sale in 2012 and will debut at Frankfurt 2011. We’ve had lots of Aston Martin V12 Zagato goodness over the last few months, from the first showing at Villa d’Este all the way up to the revealation (as if there was any [...]
Aston Martin has unveiled the 2012 V12 Vantage GT3 race car, with new aerodynamics, shorter wheel base and lower engine position than the preceding DBRS9.

Sir Stirling Moss has stumped up for an Aston Martin Cygnet as a birthday present for his wife, Lady Susie. It was presented at the RAC Club.

Aston Martin has announced that they will be putting the V12 Zagato in to production. Up to 150 to be built at £330k plus tax. There was never any real doubt; Aston Martin will build the V12 Zagato as a road car. We told you so even before the V12 Zagato made its first appearance at Villa D’Este in [...]
Despite reports today stating that AM are going to build 150 Aston Martin V12 Zagato, we’re sure the number will be less – probably 89 or 99. We’ve had an email or three in this morning asking if the story that Aston Martin will be building 150 V12 Zagatos is true. It’s not. Or at least it’s not according [...]
Aston Martin has revealed – seemingly inadvertently - that the V12 Zagato is to go in to Limited Production. What a shock. It didn’t take a genius to work out that the Aston Martin V12 Zagato would not just be incarnated as the Zig and Zag cars for the Nurburgring, but as a proper production car. Not [...]
Aston Martin has taken the two Aston Martin V12 Zagatos - Zig and Zag – to the Nurburgring 24 Hours. We have photos and video. We’ve had plenty to look at with the Aston Martin V12 Zagato in the last few weeks, especially when it turned up, resplendent in red, at Villa d’Este and walked away with 2011 Design Award [...]
It looks as if Aston Martin Rapide sales are running at half those Aston expected, with predictions they could fall as low as 500 cars a year. It took AML an age to get the Aston Martin Rapide to market, but they eventually managed it and the first customer Rapide finally left Magna Steyr in May 2010. [...]
Aston Martin are moving production of the Aston Martin Rapide from Magna Steyr in Austria back to Gaydon in 2012 It took Aston Martin what seemed like forever to get their four-door supercar – the Aston Martin Rapide – in to production, and even then they didn’t build it themselves. When they were busy planning [...]
The Aston Martin V12 Zagato has arrived at the Nurburgring. It’s the 2nd V12 Zagato – AML call them Zig and Zag – and WILL go in to production. We knew that the Aston Martin V12 Zagato – which recently took Vill d’Este by storm – was heading for the Nurburgring to stretch its muscles. What we [...]
Aston Martin are planning the Aston Martin Rapide S with the engine and suspension from the DBS and a £200k price tag. It took AM slightly longer to get the Aston Martin Rapide from concept to production than the career of the Spice Girls, although the final product is a bit more appealing. Well, depending [...]
The glorious Aston Martin V12 Zagato has won the 2011 Design Award for Concept Cars and Prototypes at Villa d’Este. It seems it’s not just us who think the Aston Martin V12 Zagato a stunner. But then, we never thought it would be. But it’s always possible that the beauty we see in every Aston Martin is influenced a [...]
Aston Martin has revealed the Aston Martin V12 Zagato – based on the V12 Vantage – ahead of its debut at Villa d’Este.

Aston Martin and Mercedes team up for new Lagondas – SUV and Saloon – and the next generation Maybach. This isn’t the first time we’ve talked about a partnership between Aston Martin and Mercedes, but according to Car & Driver it’s now just about a done deal. As long ago as March 2009 we reported that Mercedes supplied [...]
The Aston Martin Virage – and Virage Volante – debuted at the Geneva Motor Show this month and we now have the first official video. It’s easy to make fun of the Aston Martin Virage. Easy because, at first glance, it looks like a purely cynical move to pitch a car half way between the Grand Tourer DB9 and the more driver-focused [...]
We have video footage of Aston Martin’s new Vantage – the Aston Martin V8 Vantage S – on track at the Ascari Circuit in Spain. We’re always up for a bit of Aston Martin goodness, so we were more than happy to report in January that Aston Martin has added a bit of extra oomph to the [...]
