Aston Martin Rapide S (2013) CAR review

Ben Pulman, 05 April 2013 11:00

This is the new Aston Martin Rapide S. It’s a facelifted version of the famed British company’s super-saloon, timed perfectly to coincide with the launch of the new Maserati Quattroporte and facelifted Porsche Panamera. What’s new? The enlarged singleframe grille is big enough to make an Audi designer jealous, the 6.0-litre V12 boasts an extra 80bhp, and there’s a three-mode ...

Aston Martin Vanquish (2012) CAR review

Ben Barry, 25 October 2012 08:00

Yes, it looks like just another DB9 derivative, yet another twist on Henrik Fisker’s 2004 original, but this is the new Aston Martin Vanquish, and there’s a lot more going on than first impressions suggest. What are the big changes for the Aston Vanquish? The standout change is the use of carbonfibre for all the body panels, where the other ...

Aston Martin DB9 Volante (2011) CAR review

2.5

Jethro Bovingdon, 18 May 2011 10:29

I remember it well. A glorious summer’s day, I was still in my 20s and somebody casually threw me the keys to the Aston Martin DB9 Volante parked outside. ‘Try it,’ they said. Then I headed out onto a road I knew well, roof down, firing through the gears with the big paddles that operate the smooth Touchtronic ‘box. I ...

Aston Martin Virage (2011) CAR review

3.5

Jethro Bovingdon, 14 March 2011 12:00

This is a new Aston Martin and it revives the Virage name. Fortunately it looks nothing like the old Virage, but some will be disappointed that it looks very much the DB9 on which it’s based (which means it also looks quite a lot like the rest of Aston’s range). So what is it? Well, it neatly plugs the gap ...

Aston Martin V8 Vantage S (2011) CAR review

3.5

Jethro Bovingdon, 11 March 2011 00:01

This is the latest baby Aston – the delectable Vantage S. It should look very familiar to you and underneath the handsome skin Darwinian evolution is the order of the day, too. The now-familiar 4.7-litre V8 now has 430bhp (up 10bhp) and 361lb ft (up 15lb) thanks to improved breathing and more accurate spark ignition. A new exhaust system is ...

Aston Martin DB9 Coupé (2011 model year) CAR review

Tim Pollard, 17 June 2010 07:30

You might have seen elsewhere that CAR was embedded in the Aston Martin pit team at the weekend's 2010 Le Mans 24-hour race. Which meant we were well placed to pilfer one of the facelifted DB9s on display at the Aston customer hospitality unit at the French race circuit and drive it back to Blighty.A 'facelifted' 2010 Aston Martin DB9? ...

Aston Martin Rapide (2010): the CAR review

Jethro Bovingdon, 12 February 2010 09:00

brightcove.createExperiences(); brightcove.createExperiences(); This is Aston Martin being sensible. Well, relatively sensible. The new 2010 Rapide has four doors and four seats. But don’t fear, it still has a 5.9-litre V12 with 470bhp and will carry four occupants to 188mph. It still looks like an Aston, too. We really can’t think of a better looking four-door on the planet. But that ...

Aston Martin DBS Volante (2009) CAR review

3.5

the CAR road test team, 26 September 2009 12:30

Can you have a supercar too far? Not according to Aston Martin. The good folk of Gaydon aren't afraid to fill each and every niche with sports and supercars of every persuasion and nuance. They'll do you a V8 in open or closed form, oriented to comfort or slinging around the Nurburgring. They'll even do a V8 with a V12, ...

Aston Martin V12 Vantage (2009) CAR review

3.5

Ben Pulman, 20 May 2009 00:01

This is the new Aston Martin V12 Vantage, and it has the potential to be one of the company’s greatest cars to enter its hardly shabby history books. The recipe is simple: take your smallest and lightest chassis and shoehorn into it (to the accompaniment of some polite British swearing) your biggest and most powerful engine. In this case, the ...

Aston Martin DBS Touchtronic (2008) CAR review

3.5

Ben Oliver, 29 October 2008 00:01

Not even James Bond has driven the Aston Martin DBS Touchtronic yet. Quantum of Solace is just about to open but Daniel Craig must content himself with the standard manual DBS. We’ve already driven his likely next car: the DBS Touchtronic with an automatic gearbox, a new Bang and Olufsen sound system and gorgeous new optional wheels. Read our full ...
