Aston Reveals Vantage’s Chopped Top Sibling!

Who other than Mr. Bond will be a bundle of joy, now that his favorite car brand has just added a brand new member, the V12 Vantage Roadster in its already prestigious convoy. The roadster shares many of the technical features and specifications from the hardtop version, though some elements had to be changed to accommodate the folding soft top.

The V12 Vantage Roadster’s 6.0-litre engine, mated as in the Coupe to a six-speed manual gearbox, generates 517 PS at 6,500 rpm and a muscular 570 Nm of torque at 5,750 rpm. It has been intelligently packaged into the Vantage Roadster’s compact form to fully exploit the sports-orientated model’s ample natural agility. Aston Martin claims a 0-62 mph time of 4.5 seconds and a top speed of 190 mph.… Read More…

Aston Martin One-77 And The Mystery Of The Golden Ratio: Video

What do you do when you want to design something that is universally beautiful? Something so perfect that it is almost divine? You use, just like Aston Martin did, something called the golden ratio. This almost mystic and omnipresent number has boggled the greatest of human minds for almost 2400 years now. The golden ratio seems to be as much a law of nature as the rotation of the Earth. Everything from snails to humans to entire galaxies seemed to have been created on this blueprint.

It is just astonishing to see the sheer number of man-made marvels that have been inspired by this ratio, these include the Mona Lisa, The Egyptian pyramids, Parthenon in Greece and so many more and now Aston Martin one-77  have used the golden ratio for making the best car they have ever made.… Read More…

This information was revealed by Mark J. Tillman, the manager at Aston Martin Tampa Bay, who
spoke recently with the duPont Registry.

This particular car is one of the 5 to 8… Read More…
