Probably the biggest surprise of the Geneva Motor Show was the arrival of the Lagonda Concept. Although the revival of the Lagonda Marque had been much speculated upon, particularly with Lagonda celebrating its 100 year car making anniversary this year (an all the marketing opportunities that offers) no one had seen a super-luxo SUV on […]
Lagonda are back – Aston Martin revives the Lagonda Marque
Lagonda has a long history. Founded in 1899 and building its first car 10 years later, which makes 2009 Lagonda’s 100th birthday. A fitting time, perhaps, for a revival. Best described as a maker of high-performance luxury cars in the first half of the 20th century, inspired by the involvement in the company of W.O. […]
Aston Martin One-77 WILL Show at Geneva
Autoblog are reporting this morning that our news last week that we’d seen the real Aston Martin One-77, and therefore concluded it was going to show at Geneva, are right. The Aston Martin One-77 is going to be previewed later today at the Motor Show in Geneva. It features a highly tuned (by Cosworth) version […]
Aston Martin DBS Volante – Just in time for Summer!
After a break on the embargo on the details of the DBS Volante earlier today, Aston Martin has decided to give us the details on the new car ahead of the launch at Geneva next week. As you would expect, it looks wonderful. Still the same gorgeous shape as the coupe, but with a dose […]
Aston Martin One-77 – the real McCoy spotted
Just last week we ran a story that’s doing the rounds about Aston Martin pulling the plug on its £1,000,000 supercar, the One-77. Now that in itself is not a huge shock considering the state of the economy and the likely state of Aston Martin’s cashflow at the moment. But what was a big surprise […]
Rumour: Aston Martin One-77 gets canned – or does it?
Aston Martin is really struggling at the moment. Discounts abound (particularly on ’08 model year cars – you can have a V8 Vantage Roadster for not much over £60k, and a DB9 for £75k), and new car sales are as rare as hens teeth. Not surprisingly, there have been deep job cuts, and the dealer […]
Aston Martin V12 Vantage arrives!
This is one every Aston Martin lover has been waiting for. The Aston Martin V8 Vantage promised so much when it was launched. It looked great, it sounded even better, and Aston Martin promised us it would be cheap (by Aston standards) and show the 911 how it was done. Well… It didn’t quite make […]
Aston Martin Rapide – First official image – again!
As we’ve said before, the Aston Martin Rapide has been so long coming it feels like it’s already here. But it’s not, despite the spy pictures of the Rapide we’ve seen, and now comes the first official picture – apparently. We’ve seen an ‘official’ Aston Martin Rapide image before, but this looks more convincing, even […]
Aston Martin wants the Le Mans title
Aston Martin has a long, and pretty successful, motor racing heritage. And the modern company has capitalised on that with success at Le Mans with the DBR9, winning the GT1 title for the last two years. But Aston are looking to go one better, and are challenging for the overall Le Mans title with two […]
Aston Martin stake up for sale
Aston Martin has had a chequered financial history. Always the builder of some of the most desirable cars on the planet, and the most beautiful, Aston Martin has lurched from one financial crisis to another. But that seemed to come to an end when Ford bought Aston Martin. But Ford has had its problems long […]
