ASTON MARTIN 2013 this edition is dedicated to our founders, robert baMford & lionel martin Robert Bamford Lionel Martin “An Aston Martin combines three important elements: Power, Beauty, Soul. Aston Martins are truly special — they always have been and always will be.” Dr. Ulrich Bez Chief Executive Officer 3 World-leading design, exceptional engineering and extraordinary craftsmanship are central to Aston Martin’s ethos of Power, Beauty and Soul, and each and every Aston Martin is an expression of this. As we celebrate the company’s 100th year and look forward to the next century of handcrafting the most beautiful and exciting cars, Aston Martin stands proud at the head of a long automotive tradition of heritage and the best of British craftsmanship. Aston Martin as a brand and company is constantly evolving and our range reflects the changing demands, aspirations and lifestyles of our customers, from the Cygnet through to the One-77. Our ability to go the distance, on road and track, is testament to world-beating quality, reliability and durability. Central to Aston Martin’s engineering approach is the state-of-the-art Vertical Horizontal (VH) architecture. Using materials and engineering principles taken from the aerospace industry, this bonded aluminium structure is extremely light, strong and resistant to bending and twisting. Our pursuit of perfection and our obsession with perfect panel fit and flawless paint finish are born from the desire to build the world’s most beautiful cars. Our mastery of working with materials such as aluminium, carbon fibre and leather, combined with manufacturing precision and intense technology all come to life when you drive your Aston Martin. Dr. Ulrich Bez Chief Executive Officer 4 5 CELEBRATING THE FIRST 100 YEARS OF Aston Martin The maker of exceptional high performance cars since 1913, Aston Martin is one of the world’s most iconic automotive brands.

Captivating design and unparalleled attention to detail are central to the company’s ethos of Power, Beauty and Soul, with perfectly proportioned, flowing bodywork and cosseting interiors that epitomise the marriage of form, function and genuine materials. An Aston Martin combines power and sporting ability with refinement, luxury and exceptional beauty. The core values of Power, Beauty and Soul are expressed in every Aston Martin, from the breathtaking One-77 and brutally 14 elegant V12 Zagato to the mould-breaking Cygnet city car.

WE MADE OUR INTERNATIONAL DEBUT IN 1923 AT THE FRENCH GRAND PRIX, AND SINCE THAT DAY OUR COMMITMENT TO MOTORSPORT HAS NEVER WAVERED. From the epic sports car victories in the ’50s – crowned by the 1959 Le Mans win – to more recent success with the DBR9 at Le Mans, and the V8 and V12 Vantage class wins at the Nürburgring 24 hour, Aston Martin has consistently enjoyed hard‑won success in the heat of battle. For more information scan this QR code 16 2012 sees the launch of the V12 Vantage GT3 and the Vantage GTE Le Mans challenger that will compete in the world’s toughest GT race series, including the new World Endurance Championship. These new racers are the culmination of seven years’ experience competing at the forefront of all major international GT series. It is the strongest endorsement of the qualities of our road car range that they adapt so readily and with so little modification to become winning sports racing cars. Lessons learned in the racing environment filter directly back into further refining the design, durability and performance of our road cars today. 17 A VERY SPECIAL CULTURE MAKES Aston Martin GENUINELY UNIQUE – A CULTURE THAT THRIVES ON THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN AESTHETIC ENDEAVOUR AND ENGINEERING DISCIPLINE, THAT EMBRACES THE DYNAMIC TENSION BETWEEN CREATIVE ENTHUSIASM AND TECHNICAL VISION. It is in the marriage of these inspirational opposites, and in the harmonisation of their apparent contradictions, that the marque’s unique personality is formed. 18 It is shaped through the combined vision of designers and technicians united by a common goal — to build the world’s most prestigious cars. Artistry Craftsmanship — 19 DETAIL INTEGRITY Honesty TECHNOLOGY — The passion that surrounds Aston Martin combines with an inherent bond BETWEEN ENGINEERING, DESIGN AND TECHNOLOGY. Every Aston Martin is very much a product of today’s technology. New resources and continual investment in the best people and the latest computer aided design and engineering facilities have 20 empowered Aston Martin to build exceptional cars. Whether through the masterful use of modern materials, such as the latest bonded aluminium VH architecture and the use of carbon fibre body panels on the new Vanquish, or the ability to employ the latest electronic technology in our state-ofthe-art Aston Martin Infotainment system, Aston Martin is always at the forefront. 21 ENGINE TECHNOLOGY — MEETING THE CHALLENGE OF ACHIEVING 21ST CENTURY PERFORMANCE AND EFFICIENCY, WHILE PRESERVING THE CLASSIC APPEAL OF OUR POTENT, SOULFUL V8 AND V12 ENGINES. The heart of every Aston Martin is its engine. Both our 4.7 litre V8 and 6.0 litre V12 powerplants embody our philosophy of delivering the ultimate in accessible, characterful performance, for it’s these key qualities that really count towards the driving experience. 22 With the new Vanquish we have introduced technology first applied in the One-77 supercar. All the major components of the V12 are new, plus we have also introduced variable valve timing and knock sensing to extract as much energy from the petrol as possible. The result is an engine that produces more power and torque, than its previous incarnations whilst improving fuel economy and reducing emissions. 23 Aston Martin LIFE — “When you become an Aston Martin owner, you acquire so much more than a fabulous car; you join a global family of passionate like-minded individuals, united by an appreciation of the inimitable style and inherent class that distinguishes an Aston Martin from any other car.” Michael Van Der Sande — Chief Commercial Officer This passion is shared by all of us at Aston Martin, our dealer network and even extended enthusiast clubs such as the independently owned Aston Martin Owners Club.

series production cars are regarded as being amongst the most beautiful, exciting and exclusive in the world, creating something that goes far beyond this requires something truly exceptional. At Aston Martin we pride ourselves on having the passion and total creative freedom to go that extra mile. With the commitment and dedication of exceptionally skilled designers, engineers and craftspeople, plus the support of equally committed technical partners, you have a unique set of ingredients. The breathtaking results speak for themselves. EXTREME, EXTRAORDINARY AND ULTRA-EXCLUSIVE, THE ONE-77 AND V12 ZAGATO BECAME INSTANT CLASSICS. ULTIMATE EXPRESSIONS FOR THE FORTUNATE FEW, THEY ARE COLLECTED BY CONNOISSEURS AND COVETED BY ALL. 72 73 ICONIC CARS V12 ZAGATO — The V12 Zagato was conceived as the perfect way to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the iconic DB4 GT Zagato. Working in collaboration with the legendary Italian design house, our unrivalled ability to take a brilliant idea and bring it to breathtaking fruition resulted in a spectacular limited edition car. With a body hand-crafted from aluminium and carbon fibre and race-proven performance honed in the most brutal endurance race of all – the Nürburgring 24-hours — the V12 Zagato was an instant classic: one of the most dramatic, exclusive and desirable Aston Martins of all time. 74 ICONIC CARS ONE-77 — With the One-77 supercar we took the most advanced materials and technologies in the automotive industry and fused them with time-honoured techniques and incredible craftsmanship to create 77 works of art. The world’s most powerful naturally aspirated supercar at the time of launch, its 750 bhp, 7.3-litre engine made it by far the most potent Aston Martin ever made, while the influence of its bold design can be seen in today’s series production models. Its place in history is already assured. 75 COLOUR & TRIM — DESIGN INTEGRITY, TECHNICAL EXCELLENCE, INDIVIDUALITY AND UNDERSTATED ELEGANCE ARE THE VERY CORNERSTONES OF THE Aston Martin ETHOS. OUR COLOUR AND TRIM RANGE IS A TRUE EXPRESSION OF THAT PHILOSOPHY. An extensive palette of body colours has been created to meet the requirements of our most discerning customers. To achieve an unrivalled finish, each car is painted and finished by hand, receiving up to nine applications of paint – a process that takes more than 50 man-hours. 76 The exterior colours are perfectly complemented by a wide choice of leather trims and finishes. Crafted from the finest materials, these add elegance and luxury to an interior that is supremely comfortable and rewarding to use. Of course, your Aston Martin can be finished in any colour you wish, perhaps even a bespoke colour created to your own unique specification. Your Aston Martin dealer will be happy to advise on colours and price. 77 ACCESSORIES & OPTIONS — BESPOKE TAILORING COMBINED WITH LUXURY CRAFTSMANSHIP AND HERITAGE ARE UNIQUE QUALITIES SYNONYMOUS WITH THE Aston Martin BRAND, GIVING OUR CUSTOMERS THE CHANCE TO PERSONALISE THEIR VEHICLE WITH A NUMBER OF OPTIONS AND UPGRADES.
