Book excerpt: Development of Aston Martin's V8 engine began in 1963 as a replacement for the six cylinder engines which had powered every model of Aston Martin since the 1950 DB2. In 1966 design work began on a new GT model and both car and engine were to be unleashed on the public in October 1967. With barely twelve months to complete the car, Aston Martin pulled it off, and the DBS was born. Unfortunately, the new V8 engine wouldn't be ready for another two years and the DBS had to make do with the old-fashioned Lagonda engine. Being heavier than the car it replaced, it was slower but in many ways more refined. When the V8 engine was finally ready for the DBS chassis, the resulting car was one of the fastest, safest and greatest cars of its generation. It would set the benchmark, not just for the next thirty years of Aston Martins, but also its competitors in the GT class. The last of the 5,016 V8-powered cars, a Volante Special Edition, left the factory on 20 October 2000, ending an era for Aston Martin.

Auszug: Aston Martin ist ein britischer Sportwagenhersteller. Das Unternehmen wurde 1913 von Lionel Martin und Robert Bamford als Bamford & Martin Ltd. gegrundet und 1914 in Aston Martin umbenannt. 1915 wurde der erste Aston Martin gebaut. Die Marke erhob den Anspruch, Rennwagen fur die Strasse zu bauen und beteiligte sich daher intensiv am Autorennsport. Bis zum Zweiten Weltkrieg entstanden nur wenige Hundert Aston Martins. Im Jahr 1947 ubernahm der britische Unternehmer David Brown das Unternehmen Aston Martin. Seine Initialen DB finden sich auch heute noch in den Modellbezeichnungen. Obwohl seine Ara von Rennsporthohepunkten und einer erfolgreichen Modellpolitik begleitet war, musste Brown das Unternehmen 1972 wegen finanzieller Probleme verkaufen. 1987 ubernahm Ford zunachst 75 % der Aston-Martin-Anteile und 1994 den Rest. Da bis heute uberwiegend in Handarbeit gefertigt wird, stellte das Unternehmen bis zu seinem neunzigjahrigen Bestehen nur rund 16.000 Autos her. Beruhmt wurde die Sportwagenmarke aus Newport Pagnell vor allem durch die James-Bond-Filme. Das erste Mal fuhr der Geheimagent ihrer Majestat in Goldfinger mit einem Aston Martin, dem DB5. Im Marz 2007 verkaufte Ford die Mehrheit der Anteile an Aston Martin an ein Konsortium um das..

Excerpt: The Aston Martin V8 Vantage and the Aston Martin V12 Vantage are a series of hand built sports cars from the British manufacturer Aston Martin. Aston Martin has previously used the "Vantage" name on high performance variants of their existing GT models, notably on the Virage-based car of the 1990s. The modern car, in contrast, is the leanest and most agile car in Aston's line-up. As such, it is intended as a more focused model to reach out to potential buyers of cars such as the Porsche 911 as well as the exotic sports and GT cars with which Aston Martins traditionally compete. Profile view of the Aston Martin V8 VantageFollowing the unveiling of the AMV8 Vantage concept car in 2003, the production V8 Vantage was introduced at the Geneva Motor Show in 2005 for the 2006 model year. The two seat, two -door coupe had a bonded aluminium structure for strength and lightness.

Download or read book Aston Martin written by Ben Collins and published by . This book was released on 2021-04-13 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From bestselling author, racer and stunt driver Ben Collins - the man who was The Stig - comes a story of spies, speed and hard-driving genius: a driver's love letter to one of the world's best-loved machines.Aston Martin's first, wickedly fast models were forged at a time when Ferrari's premises at Maranello was nothing but a ploughed field. This book celebrates a century of innovators who kept the fire burning brightly for over a century, from the visionary pioneers Martin and Bamford to modern-day design guru Adrian Newey; from a glamorous web of pre- and post-war spies and racing drivers, to David Brown and the achingly beautiful DB models beloved of Bonds past and present.Ben Collins explores the car with the double-o prefix from a unique perspective behind the wheel, carving through country lanes in his father's V8 Vantage, driving Aston Martins in four James Bond movies and competing against them in the legendary Le Mans 24-hour race.Ultimately, this is a very British success story: of a triumph of engineering that has burned brightly from the Roaring 20s to the 2020s, and an iconic car that never says die.
