The Vanquish—pictured in an alluring cherry red shade—went on to replace the DBS as the British marque’s incumbent flagship model. Now, Aston Martin has unveiled its drop-top sister model; the Vanquish Volante. The new Aston Martin Vanquish Volante is the fastest, most powerful front-engine convertible in the world—and probably the universe too—thanks to a 5.2L […]

A welcome follow-up to last year’s updated driver-focused model, the Aston Martin Vantage Roadster retains the upgraded technical specs of the current-generation Vantage and renders them in a convertible format. Representing the stablemate of the Vantage Coupe introduced last year, the Vantage Roadster is driven by the same 4.0L V8 twin-turbo engine which delivers 565 bhp and 590 ft-lb of torque. Efficiency in materials and […]

Marking the British marque’s first series production mid-engined supercar as well as its first plug-in hybrid, the Aston Martin Valhalla is powered by a bespoke flat plane crank 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 engine—also a first for the marque, and the most powerful V8 used in an Aston. This is accompanied by three electric motors; two in the front and one in the rear, which takes the total output up to 1065 bhp with 811 ft […]

]]> The Aston Martin DB12 Goldfinger Edition Is Worthy Of A Bond Villain https://albertreview.com.au/motors/cars/aston-martin-db12-goldfinger-edition/ Thu, 17 Oct 2024 02:20:32 +0000 https://albertreview.com.au/?p=36141 The villain maketh the man. After all, without a worthy opponent, James Bond is merely a sardonic man in a good suit with nothing to do. Aston Martin has long celebrated its illustrious connection with James Bond, however this time around the British marque is crossing over to the dark side and celebrating one of the franchise’s most notorious villains, Auric Goldfinger. Auric Goldfinger is one of just two James Bond villains to have a movie named after him, with […]

]]> The Aston Martin Vanquish Is Back & More Contoured Than Ever https://albertreview.com.au/motors/cars/aston-martin-vanquish/ Mon, 09 Sep 2024 05:08:55 +0000 https://albertreview.com.au/?p=35604 The Aston Martin Vanquish has made a triumphant return, with the release of a new 5.2-litre twin-turbo V12. The British marque first introduced the ‘Vanquish’ badge in 2001, with the first generation model produced until 2007. It was followed up with the second-generation Vanquish, which was in production from 2012 to 2018. The work of British automotive designer Ian Callum, the Vanquish was revered for its Brutish design and deft line work, with the V12 setting the tone for Aston […]

]]> The Aston Martin Valiant Is An Aggressive Alonso-Approved Manual Machine https://albertreview.com.au/motors/cars/aston-martin-valiant/ Tue, 02 Jul 2024 09:16:19 +0000 https://albertreview.com.au/?p=34247 Fernando Alonso was impressed by the Aston Martin Valour, unveiled last year, however it didn’t quite meet the two-time Formula One winner’s needs. Desirous of a lightweight, more extreme version of the one-off release, Alonso commissioned Aston Martin Q, the marque’s bespoke division, to create a model to his exact requirements. And so, the Aston Martin Valiant was born. A limited-edition model, only 38 examples of the Aston Martin Valiant have been produced. Like the Valour, it’s powered by a […]

While last year saw the release of the sexy new DB12 ‘Super Tourer’, the British marque has now turned its attention towards the iconic Vantage bloodline. The 2024 Aston Martin Vantage sees the sporty model take its most driver-focused approach yet. While we bid farewell to the bonkers V12 in 2022, the 2024 Aston Martin Vantage gets an upgrade in power thanks to the heavily […]

There’s A New Aston In Town https://albertreview.com.au/design/aston-martin-road-bike-hypercar-j-laverack/ Tue, 07 Nov 2023 01:57:44 +0000 https://albertreview.com.au/?p=28477 The latest in a series of releases proposing that two wheels just might be the new four, the Aston Martin .1R is an impossibly slick road bike. The release of the .1R follows similar two-wheelers from the likes of Porsche and Lamborghini. However, the British marque isn’t one to do things in halves, with Aston Martin purporting to have created the “world’s most bespoke, most advanced, and most meticulously engineered road bike.” You’ll also enjoy:On The Track: The Aston Martin […]

More akin to a rocket than a car, the Valhalla represents the British marque’s first production mid-engined supercar. And, it’s received — more than — a little help from Aston Martin’s Formula 1 team, with the likes of Fernando Alonso and teammate Lance Stroll jumping behind the metaphorical steering wheel to aid the marque’s performance engineering team in informing and enhancing dynamics, aerodynamics, and materials. You’ll […]
