Aston-Martin

Where Savile Row meets Park Avenue. Aston Martin proudly opens the doors to Q New York, its first ultra-luxury flagship on 450 Park Avenue, in New York City.

The Spanish driver lost the pole to Verstappen by 0.084 seconds as he failed to pull out a perfect sector 3 in Monaco. Despite having great Sector 1 and Sector 2, it was the last sector that made all the difference, apart from the questionable strategy.

Geely, the Chinese automaker and owner of Volvo/Polestar and Lotus, has increased its stake in Aston Martin. Geely previously owned 7.6% of the luxury automaker, however that stake has risen to 17%. This means Geely is now the third largest stakeholder in Aston Matin, behind only Lawrence Stroll and the Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund.

Fernando Alonso says his Aston Martin Formula 1 squad now wants more after securing his fourth podium finish in five rounds at the Miami Grand Prix.

The leap which Aston Martin have made between last season and this one has been one of F1 2023’s main talking points so far, the team having gone from P7 finishers in 2022 to now holding P2 in the Constructors’ standings after three races. And due to their lowly finish last season, it means Aston Martin have more time in the wind tunnel than current rivals Mercedes and Ferrari, with their biggest advantage being over Red Bull.

Even after the strong laptimes shown by Fernando Alonso in pre-season testing, it was assumed that Mercedes and Ferrari would relegate Aston Martin down to the midfield. However, three races and three podiums later, it seems impossible to dismiss the team currently second in the Constructors’ standings as front-runners.

Aston Martin Valkyrie pushes the boundaries of performance; a remarkable journey in engineering to make the impossible, possible.

Aston Martin finished seventh in the 2022 F1 constructors’ championship, but most of the F1 paddock expect them to be at least fourth-quickest going into this weekend’s season-opener. Speaking to the media on Thursday in Bahrain, Alonso explained how Aston Martin plan to change “two-thirds” of their car during the season.

The 41-year-old Spaniard moved to the Silverstone-based team from Renault-owned Alpine at the end of last season after signing a multi-year deal as a replacement for retiring Sebastian Vettel. The money was substantial, and the prospect of extending his career by two more years highly attractive, but there were doubts he was heading to a better seat than the one he had vacated at a works team.

Although the Vulcan was specifically designed not to be road legal, one owner decided that they wanted to stick on some license plates and take it on the highway anyway. Except, it was far from that simple, as the conversion process required making some major changes to the car, and cost several hundred thousand dollars on top of the original purchase price (via Motor1). The street conversion was handled by RML Group but had full support from the Aston Martin factory, and after completion, it became the only road-legal Vulcan in existence.

The Aston Martin Lagonda (LON: AML) share price has crawled back in the past few months. After crashing to a low of 85.95p in November 2022, the shares have more than doubled to about 173.45p. Still, the shares have plunged by more than 90% from their all-time high, giving the iconic British car brand a market cap of over 1.2 billion pounds.

It could be suggested the Aston Martin team maybe didn’t have their best Formula One season in 2022 finishing P7 in the constructors’ championship. ..

Aston Martin has quite the year ahead with the upcoming release of its next generation of vehicles, and due to this, the company is going on a hiring spree. The automaker has announced it is increasing employment at its Gaydon headquarters with the creation of 100 jobs, many of which will be automotive technicians.

The team confirmed they have introduced an updated floor first of all to the AMR23, but a more visible difference is also in place with bodywork changes on the undercut behind the sidepod inlets, and a new engine cover to boot.

Max Verstappen started on pole, led all the way and won the race. The two cars that followed him home finished in their original grid order as well. So we had another dull procession at Monaco then? Anything but.Even before the clouds rolled in to deliver the downpour that caused carnage for a few laps just after halfway, there had been plenty to keep spectators gripped to the action. Granted, much of it was near the back of the field, but there was still plenty of uncertainty at the front as well as teams pondered tyre choices and pitstop strategies

Following the discovery of this trademark, Aston officially teased a replacement for the DB11, suggesting that this is more than a mere facelift. The claims that have been made about this next-generation DB are bold, with the automaker saying the car "will break free from the norms of the GT sector" while "creating a new category of one."

Red Bull have taken an early lead in the Constructors’ Championship, but Aston Martin is keen to push its rivals through the season.

Bäckman, 25, has just moved to GT4 racing after focusing on touring cars since her race car debut after karting: the young Swede has in fact climbed the ranks of national TCR series up to the World Touring Car Cup, where she made history in 2021 for becoming the first – and only – woman to have scored points at the top of the TCR pyramid.

Aston cannot be a copy of the RB18 because their rear end is purchased entirely from Mercedes. Their gearbox and rear suspension are the same as those used on the W14. In terms of transmission, there are very important differences between the Red Bull and Mercedes specifications. The Mercedes specification is bulkier in the area closest to the floor, which limits airflow through the AMR23’s diffuser. This area is designed for a car with ultra-compact bodywork like the W14, as seen with the Mercedes ‘zeropods.’

Max Verstappen and Red Bull were the ostensible runaway winners of the 2023 Formula 1 world championship campaign’s opening weekend, but if you’re looking for an outfit whose stock rose the most at Sunday’s Bahrain Grand Prix, look no further than wily, upwardly-mobile Aston Martin.

The hopes of long-suffering investors that Aston may finally have turned a corner — having veered from pothole to ditch during numerous debt and equity refinancings that have effectively left it under the control of its executive chairman Lawrence Stroll — had been leaking out in recent months.

The 2023 model year marks the end of the current Aston Martin DBS (known previously as DBS Superleggera) generation. To mark this momentous occasion, Aston Martin has created a limited run of 499 DBS 770 Ultimate special editions, each with a twin-turbo 5.2-liter V12 producing 759 horsepower, the highest output of any roadgoing Aston ever.

Aston Martin is giving the DBS a proper sendoff. This isn’t some lame office party where all you get is a dry piece of cake. People that scored one of the 770 Ultimate models get a 5.2-liter V12 engine that makes 759 horsepower and 664 pound-feet of torque. These figures make the 770 Ultimate the “most powerful production Aston” ever.

Owner Lawrence Stroll has always been bullish in his assertions that the team can compete for wins in the future. Recruitment of staff from top teams and a new factory under construction are signs that they are at least preparing to head in the right direction. Alonso is very confident that he will be able to compete at a level he is happy with at Aston Martin. Otherwise, he has revealed, he wouldn't have bothered putting pen to paper – even if it meant leaving the F1 grid.
