Aston Martin teaser from Macgregor
Check out this short video we found on Vimeo featuring an Aston Martin. What a great way to drive off after a mission outside of an Aston Martin. It’s a James Bond esque exit and a great quick short film. Enjoy this one minute video as it even ended before our attention span left us.
If you bought your 2008 Aston Martin you may be wanting to return it for the 2009 version. Upgraded to a 4.7L from the old 4.3L V8 engine wise. This resulted in a 40 horsepower gain and 45 lb-ft of torque. The new Vantage will haul off to a 0-60 mph in 4.7 seconds and has a top speed of 180 mph. The car is now available with OE 19′s and has a ton of suspension revamps on it for increased performance.
Splash News spotted this Aston Martin delivering pizza in 30 minutes or less. If Domino’s converted to an Aston Martin fleet I think that is a promise they could keep. Aside from the fact that a month’s salary from Domino’s could not fund an oil change in this machine we think it’s a spoof but still, very hilarious.
Ford finally made a right move perhaps and bailed on the luxury auto maker Aston Martin when the timing was right according to reports at Autoblog. They announced they will be cutting around 600 jobs in the near future and working with people at the company to pull from temp. help and permanent workers. Aston was once believed to be the only profitable part of the Premiere Automotive Group and now it looks like times might be tough. How will Aston Martin fair in the grand scheme of things, we think they will be just fine.

This car was made for the 2004 Geneva show but never made into a production model. Somehow Aston Martin of New England got a hold of this RHD one off made Aston Martin. We can assure no one will be pulling up to your local Starbucks in one of these unless some other overzealous Vanquish owner cut his roof off. Nice find or purchase for a die hard Aston Martin fan.
