More About The Manufacturer:[]

This British manufacturer of hand-crafted high-performance sports cars was founded in 1914. After early competition successes (the Aston name was derived from an English hillclimb course), Aston Martin focused on racing during the 1920s and 1930s. In 1947, Aston Martin was acquired by David Brown Limited, which launched the long line of “DB” high-performance sports cars for which the company is best known. The series began with a few examples of the Two Litre Sports/DB1 in 1948 and the DB2 in 1950. Racing versions of the Aston Martin sports cars achieved great racing success during the 1950s, culminating in a first-place finish at the Le Mans 24-hour road race in 1959. In the 1960s, Aston Martin decided to concentrate on road car production, creating perhaps its most famous car, the DB5, in 1963. This sports car began a long relationship with secret agent James Bond after appearing in the film Goldfinger in 1964, and gained the company and its cars many new admirers. The DB line of sports cars continues to this day, with the award-winning DB9. Aston Martin returned to motor racing in 2005 with a racing version, the DBR9. The current three-car lineup also includes the V8 Vantage and the Vanquish S. The Aston Martin company itself still races at Le Mans today. After the GT1, GT3, and GTE racing machines it has relied on for many years, the company has decided to look towards the future and to enter the new hypercar project.
