Aston Martin

 

Aston Martin is a very popular British car manufacturer where its main center is located in Gaydon, England. The name Aston Martin derives from one of the Aston Martin founders named Lionel Martin. Aston derived from the popular Aston Hill Speed Climb located in the UK county of Buckinghamshire. If you watch the popular 007 James Bond movies you are probably already very familiar with the Aston Martin as it is used for the car that James Bond drives.

One of the most popular Aston Martin’s is the V12 Vanquish. This car was also featured in the James Bond film called Die Another Day.

Another popular Aston Martin model is the V8 Vantage which is hand built. The V8 Vantage is considered to be the top model available in the Aston Martin lineup and often competes with the Porche 911 and the Lamborghini Diablo, as well as the Ferrari Maranello.

The V8 Vantage also comes with a hefty price tag costing about £79,000.00. Aston Martin also only produces 3,000 cars annually making it very hard to get your hands on one and is often pre-ordered. They are very popular in the UK as well as the U.S. and Canada and other parts of Europe.

Aston Martin has continually built a fast well built car despite having gearshift engineering problems with the Vanquish. If you are looking for a top quality well built British made car, the Aston Martin is one of the first car manufacturers that cross people’s minds.
