The Fast & Furious movies nowadays have as much to do with street-racing as Titanic has to do with reality, but its remains the only movie series for car enthusiasts to anticipate at the moment. Here’s a look at some of the cars that have been specially-built for the latest sequel.
Aston Martin has revealed the latest iteration of their four-door model, officially dubbing it the Aston Martin Rapide S. The Rapide S sedan is basically a facelift of the outgoing Rapide, but with a significant improvement in power.
British sports-car maker Aston Martin started off their centenary celebrations in Dubai itself, with an event at the Burj Al Arab hotel in Dubai.
If you’re wondering why every Aston Martin is simply a rehash of a decade-old design with a new name, it’s because they’re probably poorer than you are. Investment Dar, the troubled Kuwaiti financial firm that owns a majority stake in the ailing carmaker, is apparently seeking to restructure its debt load, part of which will be by selling off shares in Aston Martin, and they’ve now found a buyer.
So if you thought that the crazy automobile recall saga had ended, you were wrong. Since our last post on the recalls earlier this year, there were an insane amount of recalls that followed, from almost every car manufacturer in the world you can ever think of, almost all of them being issued following instructions from the U.S.-based NHTSA agency. And we could not bother to post each recall issue as a separate story, the task being as equally tedious as the reader-response to these. Here are all the recalls that could potentially be relevant to our region since April 2012.
Aston Martin have unveiled the 2013 DB9 while at the same time, disposing the Virage nameplate from their line-up. The V12 engine has received a horsepower boost but the exterior changes are barely noticeable.
Aston Martin have revealed the official imagery and specifications for the V12 Vantage Roadster.
Aston Martin has decided to revive the Vanquish nameplate after a surprise showing at the Villa d’Este show in Europe.
Aston Martin’s range just got bigger. They have just launched the 2012 Aston Martin Virage Coupe and Virage Volante at the Geneva Motor Show. This takes its place in the Aston Martin sporting GT family between the DBS and DB9, although it looks like they designed it by modifying a picture of a DB9 on Photoshop.
Aston Martin has unveiled a new “motorsport-inspired” special edition of their second-smallest model. Dubbed the V8 Vantage N420, it is a completely stock model with some carbon-fibre body panels to cut weight by 27 kg.
