Aston Martin



Aston Martin is a name that needs little introduction. It has always stood for fine, civilized high performance sports cars, designed and produced by skilled craftsmen. There is a special place in the market and in the hearts of owners for classic sports cars which conform to this ideal. These are cars which bring to life the freedom and enjoyment of the open road.
Even so, every Aston Martin is very much a product of today’s technology. New resources and new investment in the latest computer aided design and engineering facilities, in statistical process control and many other leading edge disciplines ­are ensuring that for Aston Martin, the future is every bit as bright as its illustrious past .
The model lineup for Aston Martin, one of the United Kingdom’s most storied carmakers, is small but impressive. Aston Martin started making sleek racing machines in 1915, but it didn’t start selling vehicles on this side of the pond until 1950. In 1987 the company was taken over by Ford Motor Co. and folded into the Dearborn, Mich.-based automaker’s Premier Automotive Group, which also included Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo. In 2007 a financially strapped Ford sold Aston Martin to a consortium of two international investment houses led by David Richards, Investment Dar and Adeem Investment. They continue to make compelling and exclusive sports and grand touring machines.

The Aston Martin DB9 is a thoroughbred sports car with GT levels of comfort and refinement. Combining Aston Martin’s unique character with an uncompromising design philosophy, the DB9 was borne out of a synthesis of traditional craftsmanship, high-tech manufacturing, modern components and use of the finest materials.
The Aston Martin is both a full-blooded sports car and a hugely capable grand tourer. Whether in Coupe or Volante form, it offers a supreme combination of driver involvement, character, luxury and refinement.
