Aston Martin One-77 Pictures and Specifications

Chris — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 02:58:45 +0000

This halo car from Aston Martin is everything you could ever want from an Aston Martin. Beautifully designed both inside and out and a 7.3 liter V12 putting out over 700HP! A 0-60mph of 3.5 seconds and top speed over 200mph make it one of the fastest cars on the road. With a limited production volume of only 77 and pricetag over $1 million, you'd be lucky to see one let alone drive one.

For the 50th anniversary year of the iconic DB4GT Zagato, Aston Martin introduces a modern interpretation of the famous Aston Martin and Zagato collaboration. Based off the V12 Vantage, the V12 Zagato features the same 510hp V12.

2012 Aston Martin Virage

Chris — Thu, 03 Mar 2011 03:02:28 +0000

Slotted in-between the DB9 and DBS, the Virage "combines outright sports car performance with luxury, comfort and refinement." Powered by Aston's 6.0 liter V12 putting out 490hp and 420 lb-ft. of torque, the Virage will go 0-60mph in under 5 seconds. It will be available as either a Coupe or a Volante with either a 2 or 2+2 seating configuration.

Personally I think it looks too similar to the DB9 and I'm not a fan of that orangy color at all but I have to say the interior is absolutely breathtaking.

Chris — Tue, 29 Jun 2010 03:07:59 +0000

The DB9 gets minor changes for 2011 because well why mess with a good thing? The front grill has been redesigned and now features mesh inserts on the bottom. New headlight bezels, re-styled sills, silver brake calipers, 20-spoke diamond turned alloy wheels and clear rear light lenses complete the external revisions.

The DB9's passive damping system has been replaced by a new Adaptive Damping System (ADS), which offers enhanced ride comfort together with sharper handling when switched to Sport mode. Due to this, the DB9 Sport Pack upgrade has now been discontinued.

Chris — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 03:34:56 +0000

With a 520 HP V12, the Vanquish S can reach above 200 MPH. Compared to the normal Vanquish, the S features a revised steering geometry that provides a 20% quicker response, allowing the driver to apply a reduced input for required steering response. This enables the driver to be more precise with inputs - especially on winding roads - and more accurate feedback from the chassis. The Sports Dynamics suspension, steering and braking package is now standard on the Vanquish S. This includes stiffer springs and dampers and shorter steering arms. Engine enhancements include new cylinder heads with fully machined inlet ports and combustion chambers to improve airflow, revised engine mapping and new fuel injectors.
