ASTON MARTIN 2012
A perfect harmony of design, performance and luxury
“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
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.
Aston Martin as a brand and a 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. As we edge
ever closer to the company’s 100th year, Aston Martin stands proud at the head
of a long automotive tradition.
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.

Chief Executive Officer

POWER
BEAUTY
SOUL
Aston Martin is a brand and a company
that has embraced change without
compromising its worldwide reputation
for understated style and elegance.
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
6
elegant V12 Zagato to the mould-breaking
Cygnet city car. This breadth and diversity
in the current Aston Martin range is
unprecedented. From the intensity of
Vantage and the grace of DB9, to the luxury
and space of Rapide and the supreme
dynamism of Vanquish, there’s a model
to suit every taste and lifestyle.
Taut and poised, with strong, muscular
surfaces that are instantly recognisable, no
car has the presence, proportion or visual
poise of an Aston Martin. Thanks to our
commitment to advanced materials and
the application of intelligent engineering
solutions, we are proud in the knowledge
our cars’ enviable style is matched only
by their outstanding substance.

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.
Independent in spirit and ownership,
we remain resolute and true to the ethos
of creating cars that embrace advanced
engineering, yet exude understated elegance.
In pursuing our goal of creating ever
more appealing, more appropriate and
more accomplished cars we are always
looking to our future. Yet with such a rich
heritage that over the last 100 years has
8
seen Aston Martin create some of the most
beautiful and exciting road and racing cars
ever made, we will always draw inspiration
from our greatest achievements of the past.
The sensational Vanquish is a symbol of
our commitment to embracing change
and innovation while respecting those
qualities that make an Aston Martin so
very special. As such it is the perfect flagship
for the strongest model range in our rich
history, and the ultimate expression of
Power, Beauty and Soul.

MOTORSPORT —
RACING IS OUR HEARTBEAT. 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.

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.

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.
12
It is shaped through the combined vision
of designers and technicians united by a
common goal — to build the world’s most
prestigious cars.

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
14
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.
15
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 its these
key qualities that really count towards
the driving experience.
16
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.
17
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. We’re proud of our heritage
and of the fact that more than 85 per
cent of all Aston Martins ever built are
still in existence and being enjoyed by
their owners.
18
Above all, we want you to enjoy driving
your car which is why we also host a
fabulous range of Aston Martin driving
experiences and events around the world.
At these events, whether organised by your
dealer or by Aston Martin, you’ll drive
your or our cars, meet like-minded Aston
individuals, and sample some of the finer
things in life. So, whether you crave the
adrenalin rush of driving as fast as you
dare around one of the world’s great race
circuits, long for the more leisurely delights
of our luxury tours through glorious
landscapes or are intrigued by the novelty
of powering around a special course carved
into the snow and ice of an alpine resort,
you can be sure of one thing: Aston Martin
ownership is an experience like no other.

place continually. Whilst every effort is made
to produce up-to-date literature, this brochure
should not be regarded as an infallible guide
to current products, options, accessories or
specifications, nor does it constitute any offer
for sale of any particular car, product, option,
accessories and/or services or combination of
the same.
This brochure is merely an indication of the
kinds of Aston Martin products and services
which may be available from time to time. The
contents of this brochure represent Aston Martin
Lagonda Limited’s business as a whole. Text and
photographs may relate to models, specifications,
options, accessories and/or services that are
not available for sale in some countries or which

Aston Martin Lagonda Limited strongly urges that
all speed laws be obeyed and that safety belts be
worn at all times.
The weight of the car will influence the level of
CO2 emitted and as a result, cars with higher
levels of specification and factory fit options may
emit higher levels of CO2. However, Vehicle Excise
Duty is charged according to the weight of and
CO2 emissions of the standard car, as published
in this brochure.
All petrol engines are fitted with a catalytic
converter.
