Earlier this year Aston Martin revealed its all new Vanquish model the direct replacement for the outgoing DBS. Even though it is not due for release for another 6-7 months the British automaker has started testing the Volante.

Powering the Volante will be the same 6.0-liter V-12 engine and 6-speed Touchtronic paddle-shift gearbox as the conventional coupe and his rumored to come with rear seats as an optional extra.

One-77
Its good to see a car go full circle and be a success for a British Automotive Company from the early prototype spyshots taken at the Nurburgring and now Aston Martin stating all 77 units of the hypercar has now been sold.

Is it time for a new edition Aston perhaps unadventurously called the Two-77????

Prior to the One-77’s Paris Motor Show debut, spyshots had been taken, but official specifications were not fully revealed until the 2009 Geneva Motor Show.

Leave a comment

Here are the latest spy shots of the AM 310 Concept which will wear the moniker of the Vanquish.

Powering the Carbon bodied car will be a 6.0-liter V12 engine, that sends 565 horsepower and 457 pound-feet of torque to the rear wheels through a six-speed servo operated gearbox with paddle shifters.

Aston Martin is undertaking extensive testing at the Nürburgring Aston Martin Test Center, We are quite shocked at the lack of camouflage.

The lights are based on the one-77 with its incremental light display.

We are expecting the official unveiling at the 2012 Paris Autoshow.

2013 Aston Martin DBS Spy Photos – Nurburgring

Leave a comment

Here are the latest spy pics of the next-generation Aston Martin DBS hiding under camouflage, seen here undergoing handling testing at the Nordschleife in Germany.

The car is wearing detail camouflage around the rear to hide its one-77 inspired curves, but we can clearly see the new light clusters based on the Virage and Rapide.

Powering the next James Bond car will be a 6.0-liter V12 engine but will get one-77 tuning to deliver about 530 HP.

Also with the chassis weight reduction targeting around the 1350kg this will be some formidable super car.

FORD ESCORT MK1 RS2000 – touches the heart and soul (Rare Find)

Leave a comment

Here is a fantastic video of the Mk1 Rs2000 driving around the Eifel close to the Nuerburgring.

When the Escort was launched, Ford prepared a rallying version, which was later marketed as the Escort Mexico, commemorating the car’s victory in the London to Mexico Rally of 1970.

Ford felt there was a market for a car with more power and refinement than the Mexico, but without the higher production and ownership costs associated with the more complex RS1600.

Ford believed that such a model would appeal to a wider customer audience than the existing ‘sporting’ Escorts, and would offer RS motoring at an affordable price.

This is MacMedia first youtube clip so be kind and support their efforts, and if you fancy owning one be prepared to spend around 24k Gbp.

Coventry Prototype Panels Buys Zagato Italian Design House

Leave a comment

The UK-based coachbuilder Coventry Prototype Panels CPP have acquired the Italian design house Zagato, their acquisitions list for the Birmingham based firm is impressive and their portfolio contains the likes of Spyker,Bowler and a close relationship with Aston Martin. (Which would explain the Aston Zagato entry in the N24).

Also Aston Martin have released pricing of the Zagato which is based on the v12 Vantage and a limited number of only 150 pieces and with a quite reasonable price of 330k Gbp will leave the one-77 owners writing another check to Aston Martin

The question is what is CPP up to and when are we going to see some new marques coming out to stalk the Black Country in middle England.
