Highway 33 in Ojai is a brilliant stretch of road that rises, falls, twists, and turns its way across a small section of California land. If you run that route and connect with Fraser Mountain Road, you are in for some of the best driving spots around. Pair it with the right vehicle and magic […]
Aston Martin has its first SUV, ever. This is also the first five-passenger vehicle for the British automaker. It arrives at a time when Aston needs to start cranking out more sales to satisfy its owners and stockholders. And a sport utility vehicle has typically been the path to financial success for many an automaker. […]
We’ve adored the cars even when they arrive with faults. That ends now, because there’s nothing to overlook anymore. The 2019 Aston Martin Vantage is the best car the British automaker has ever built. Sure, a handful of credit is owed to technical partner AMG for making this so. These lines though, they’re Aston Martin […]
Aston Martin has hit the rest button on its V12-packing DB11. The updated version is called the AMR, and it’s received adjustments to the engine, exhaust, steering response, suspension, and stability control. There’s more horsepower (630 hp) from the 5.2-liter twin-turbocharged V12, and there’s also more noise. An ever slightly stiffer front roll bar dials […]
Gone is the DB9. It’s moved on so that Aston Martin can begin its Second Century Plan, and with that comes a brand-new DB-badged car. It’s called the DB11, and it’s a properly exotic grand tourer.

Aston Martin has entered the first stages of its Second Century Plan. Kicking that off is the all-new DB11. Gone is the DB9, and this new beautiful beast is here to replace it. We’ve still got a V12 engine, gorgeous lines, and strong noises… but do we still have an amazing car beneath that lightweight […]
So, what makes an Aston Martin? Well, it needs to be powerful, of course. Something like a V12 with 554hp would be great. Ideally, if it’s still possible it should be normally aspirated. You should be able to hear the engine gasping in big lungfuls of air and the throttle should crack open instantly. It […]
[youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RFZr8_oiGwE[/youtube] The Aston Martin DB9 is bowing out. It’s a grand Grand Tourer riding on a grand-old platform, and it’s time to make way for the future of Aston Martin machines. The automaker has created one final version of the car, and ti’s called the DB9 GT. It’s a pumped up version of the standard […]
“We can’t disclose those figures I’m afraid.” This was the reply I received to a series of questions from a fellow who should know, Paul Spires, the general manager of Aston Martin Works in Newport-Pagnell, County Buckinghamshire, England. Situated in the “historic home of Aston Martin” since 1959 – effectively the fifth Aston factory, following […]
There’s no denying that Aston Martin is in the business of making cars look and sound like wonderful, mechanical works of art. These aren’t things people buy simply to satisfy a basic craving.
