Aston Martin is a company and a brand that has embraced change without compromising its worldwide reputation for understated style and elegance. Captivating design and unparalleled attention to detail are central to the company’s ethos of Power, Beauty and Soul, with perfectly proportioned, flowing bodywork and cosseting interiors that epitomise the marriage of form, function and materials. An Aston Martin combines power and sporting ability with refinement, luxury and exceptional beauty. Every Aston Martin expresses the core values of Power, Beauty and Soul, from the V8 Vantage range to the V12 DB9 range and the exciting new DBS. Bodywork is taut and poised, with strong, muscular surfaces that are instantly recognisable, underpinned by the unique VH (Vertical Horizontal) architecture of bonded and extruded aluminium, which provides exceptional manufacturing flexibility. ‘VH allows us to maintain the form, language and soul of the product,’ says Dr Ulrich Bez. ‘Aston Martin should always be about designand proportions.’

Aston Martin DBS

The definitive luxury sports car offers morethan performance, beauty and comfort. It offers dynamic and aesthetic purity, an exquisite interior and a driving experience unsurpassed by any other car. With its race-car roots and luxury appointments, the Aston Martin DBS is just such a car. A 6.0-litre V12 powered, race-bred two-seater shaped by the aerodynamic demands of high performance, the Aston Martin DBS marries beautifully hand-finished materials with the very latest in performance technology. Its hand-built V12 engine produces 380 kW (510 bhp/517 PS), making it one of the most potent production Aston Martins ever made. A combination of elegant design, innovative manufacturing processes, race-derived materials and components, and Aston Martin’s unrivalled hand-crafted expertise makes the DBS a luxury sports car without equal.

Aston Martin V8 Vantage Coupe

The V8 Vantage is a hand-crafted sports car that offers outstanding performance and agility. The most affordable model in the range, it fuses traditional Aston Martin style and everyday usability. The result is the world’s most desirable sports car. The advanced body structure of the V8 Vantage is the key to its superb handling and responsiveness. Its all-alloy VH (Vertical Horizontal) architecture, which is unique to Aston Martin, provides an excellent backbone, while the use of sophisticated materials such as lightweight alloys, magnesium and advanced composites for the body further contributes to the car’s low weight and class-leading rigidity.

Aston Martin DB9 Volante

The DB9 was conceived and designed, from the outset, as both a coupe and a convertible (Volante). This uncompromising approach is typical of the whole DB9 engineering philosophy. That is why the DB9 Volante is one of the most structurally rigid and besthandling convertibles in the world. It is also one of the fastest and quietest. The DB9 Volante looks elegant and perfectly proportioned from every angle – with roof up or down. As with all Aston Martins, beauty and proportion are of key importance.
