2007 Aston Martin Vantage on 2040-cars
Santa Anna, Texas, United States
Platinum Warranty (A) from LaSalle Warranty Group until September 25, 2015 (another 3 months). Not your typical
AMV8. Very well cared for ( I hand wash it using the AMMO NY method ) and upgraded. Installed wheel spacers, H&R
lowering Springs, custom hand-fabricated aluminum air intake (larger and smoother ID than the original ugly rubber
"snorkle" more air, more power), professionally painted over all exterior chrome (front grill, side grill slits,
window trim) and rims with Titanium Gunmetal (even the custom air intake). Car was tuned by Fastlane in December of
2013 to get every bit of power out of the engine. This car drives and handles superbly. The blue/ saddle leather
interior still has the most pleasant new-car aroma. Bluetooth, Aston Premium sound system, driver and passenger
adjustable power seats with adjustable lumbar control, heated seats, auto climate control, red caliper Aston brakes
(made by Brembo). Previous owner replaced the clutch at 16,000 miles (sooner than necessary, but one less thing to
worry about). New rotors and Carbotech brakes May 2014. Partial clear bra on the hood, mirrors and front of car. I
purchase nice cars to drive for a few months and then sell them. This car has been with me for 19 months now as it
is very difficult for me to part with. I only drive it twice a month and when the wife wants to go out in town;
hence the low miles: I only put about 4,200 miles in 18 months. **UPDATE: Due to failing state inspection, I just
had the dealer replace one O2 sensor, the catalytic convertor and the re-called seat heater unit. No issues with
this car. I am the 4th owner. Previous owners were in North Texas and Arizona. I have not titled the car since I
have Dealer Plates on it; original title in hand. There is normal wear and tear and the clear bra would be better
replaced with some of the newer technology.

AMG's partnership with Aston Martin won't extend past engines, for now
Sun, 27 Apr 2014There's been talk of late about the technical partnership between Aston Martin and the AMG division of Mercedes-Benz going beyond engines to include Mercedes sports car and SUV platforms for the English brand, perhaps as a way to kickstart the development of a Lagonda SUV. But AMG CEO Tobias Moers, speaking to Top Gear, said that's effectively out of the question because, "No one has the time to discuss any more involvement than that for now."
Moers believes Aston Martin will be so busy "for the next two to three years" integrating its AMG-sourced engine and electronics that it won't have the resources to devote to working out a platform-sharing deal; Daimler sources have already said that Aston Martin's development budget "just isn't enough" to even consider a whole new model, and that greater cooperation would require something like a larger ownership stake in the boutique sports car maker.
AMG, in the meantime, is busy with the recent launch of the GLA45 AMG, the coming C63 AMG and its rumored 4.0-liter V8, the Mercedes-AMG GT and its assault on the Porsche 911 among who-knows-what other skunkworks projects. Moers said the technical partnership is about profit for AMG, clear and simple, and, "All these rumors about platform sharing are nice but no one at Aston or Mercedes has the time to discuss them."
2013 Quail Motorsports Gathering wows with modern masterpieces
Sat, 17 Aug 2013Pebble Beach is an outstanding event if you're interested in pre-war classics, but outside of the parking lots, it's a bit light on more modern stuff. The Quail, now in its eleventh year, leans far more towards the present day, and has become one of the must-attend events of the Monterey car week.
Like Pebble, though, it's a highly exclusive affair, with triple-digit ticket prices that usually sell out at the same rate as a Justin Bieber concert. If you're one of the lucky few to hold a pass, though, you'll be rubbing elbows with a who's who of the auto world. One of the highlights of this year's event was the appearance of one Michael Schumacher, who showed up alongside one of his Formula 1 cars. A retrospective was also held on Lamborghini's 50 years of production, as well as another celebration of Aston Martin's centennial. There was also a tribute to the late Martin Swig, one of the co-founders of the California Mille, who passed away last year.
The cars, not surprisingly, were epic. Lamborghini, Pagani, Spyker, Rolls-Royce, BMW, McLaren, Bugatti and Galpin Ford all showed new models to the public for the first time, while there were also appearances by Jim Glickenhaus and his Ferrari P4/5 and P4/5 Competizione, marking the first time the coach-built masterpiece and its racing offspring were shown together. Finally, the Petersen Museum showed off its wears, including the late Steve McQueen's gorgeous Jaguar XK-SS.
Andy Palmer leaves Renault-Nissan to serve as CEO of Aston Martin
Tue, 02 Sep 2014Aston Martin has been without a helmsman since Ulrich Bez stepped down from the chief executive office at the end of last year, stepping back to serve as non-executive chairman in a semi-retired ambassadorial capacity. The British automaker, now on the cusp of a new era, has been running without a CEO since, but has now named Bez's replacement in Andy Palmer.
If you don't recognize the name, you should: Palmer has worked under the Renault-Nissan Alliance for decades now, rising through the ranks to become one of the top executives under Carlos Ghosn. Most recently he was serving as executive vice president of the entire group and chairman of the Infiniti brand, but like Carlos Tavares, who recently left Renault to run Peugeot, Palmer is now embarking on a new mission as CEO of Aston Martin.
Once the transition period is complete at the start of October, Palmer's role as Chief Planning Officer at Renault-Nissan will be assumed by Philippe Klein, who steps up from his current role as executive vice president of product planning for Renault. Read the statements from both companies below.
