This Cairngorn Grey Aston Martin Vanquish is coming out of a fresh service and has recently had its coils done. This is a great example of a well-loved pre owned Aston. It has only been driven when the sunny Sundays. This car was built and put on display at the 2002 Detroit Auto Show. This Aston originally listed for over $238k back in 2002. Original MSRP is preent along with all service documentation.

Considered by many to be the last truly hand-built Aston Martin, the Vanquish stands out among modern supercars with its elegant yet aggressive Aston Martin styling. In addition, this particular car is presented in outstanding condition and has exceptional and documented provenance. The V-12 Vanquish has often been credited with the renaissance of this classic British brand. Traditional design cues, such as the signature grille opening, wide fenders, and a low hood line, make this the most striking and masculine Aston Martin, perhaps of all time.

450 bhp, 5,935 cc DOHC alloy V-12 engine, six-speed paddle shift transmission, four-wheel independent suspension with upper and lower wishbones, coil springs, and gas dampers, and four-wheel vacuum-assisted Brembo disc brakes. Wheelbase: 106 in.

• Detroit Auto Show exclusive Aston Martin Vanquish

• Featured in Aston Martin publicity photographs in 2002

• Full dealer service history

The Vanquish was well equipped no matter the client’s wishes. The heart of the car is the smooth, high revving, all alloy 12-cylinder engine. Combined with state-of-the-art fuel injection, the car produces an astonishing amount of torque for its startling off-the-line performance. The breath-taking horsepower also made for exceptional top-speed performance. Power delivery was paramount, and consequently, the car was fitted with one of the world’s first paddle-shifted six-speed gearboxes, adoringly nicknamed the “flappy paddle gearbox” by the presenters of the hit show Top Gear. The close ratio transmission works in concert with advanced electronics to match gear ratios and engine speeds.

Spectre star Daniel Craig suffers minor injury riding in Aston Martin DB10

Fri, Feb 27 2015

The Aston Martin DB10 might look amazing. It does not, however, have an abundance of headroom, as James Bond actor Daniel Craig found out. The star of the 24th 007 film, Spectre, Craig was injured while filming a scene inside the DB10. The car was shooting a chase scene in Rome with the film's other four-wheeled star, the Jaguar C-X75, when the stuntman behind the wheel (which happened to be a cage on the coupe's roof) hit one of the ancient city's notorious potholes. Craig bopped his head hard enough to warrant a trip to the on-set medic, The Los Angeles Times reports. According to The Times, the DB10 was being chased by the one-off Jag of film baddie Dave Bautista on Rome's Corso Vittorio Emanuele II. Craig's injuries were deemed minor enough that he made a scheduled trip to London to continue filming. Next time 007, stick to the Fiat. Related Video:

Aston Martin confirms new platform under development

Wed, Apr 30 2014

It's been thirteen years since Aston Martin introduced the original V12 Vanquish. The model was effectively been replaced twice over by the time it reached its Bar Mitzvah, but its underlying platform is still around. And not just around, either: it underpins everything Aston makes and has made ever since it came on the scene, save for the Cygnet and the One-77 supercar. That includes the V8 and V12 Vantage, the short-lived Virage, the new Vanquish, the DB9, DBS, V12 Zagato and even the four-door Rapide. But while it may seem like forever that Aston's been using the VH platform, it won't be around forever more. In announcing its positive financial results for 2013, Aston Martin CFO Hanno Kirner confirmed: "We are engineering a completely new architecture and technologies to ensure that our next generation of sports cars is at the forefront of design, performance and technology." The new platform is expected to underpin the next generation of Astons Martin, and will be powered by a new V8 engine being developed by Mercedes-AMG, similar to the arrangement that sees V12s furnished to Pagani for the Huayra. Whether an AMG-developed V12 is also in the cards for Aston Martin remains to be seen – the company ran on V8 power alone from the mid 70s (when its six-cylinder engine was retired) until the Ford-developed DB7 brought six- and then twelve-cylinder power. That aging but glorious 6.0-liter engine, by the way, still powers the vast majority of the company's lineup. The platform and associated technologies are being funded by the influx of capital from shareholders Investindustrial, Primewagon and Adeem Investment and by a 13-percent increase in revenue due to the launch of the new Vanquish Volante and V12 Vantage S, as well as the company's expansion into new markets like Mexico and Thailand. It wasn't long ago that upon spending a week with the company's Vanquish coupe that we fell just short of love, wondering aloud how long Aston could weather its uncertain financial picture while still relying heavily on elderly technology and drivetrains cradled in elderly platforms. We now appear to have our answer, and we like what we're hearing. Aston Martin Holdings (UK) Limited Full Year Results 2013 28 April 2014, Gaydon: Aston Martin Holdings (UK) Limited is today announcing full year results for the 12 months ended 31 December 2013.

Andy Palmer leaves Renault-Nissan to serve as CEO of Aston Martin

Tue, 02 Sep 2014

Aston Martin has been without a helmsman since Ulrich Bez stepped down from the chief executive office at the end of last year, stepping back to serve as non-executive chairman in a semi-retired ambassadorial capacity. The British automaker, now on the cusp of a new era, has been running without a CEO since, but has now named Bez's replacement in Andy Palmer.
If you don't recognize the name, you should: Palmer has worked under the Renault-Nissan Alliance for decades now, rising through the ranks to become one of the top executives under Carlos Ghosn. Most recently he was serving as executive vice president of the entire group and chairman of the Infiniti brand, but like Carlos Tavares, who recently left Renault to run Peugeot, Palmer is now embarking on a new mission as CEO of Aston Martin.
Once the transition period is complete at the start of October, Palmer's role as Chief Planning Officer at Renault-Nissan will be assumed by Philippe Klein, who steps up from his current role as executive vice president of product planning for Renault. Read the statements from both companies below.
