Aston Martin's Avalanche of Models
Niche car manufacturers like Aston Martin never enjoyed a peaceful life – the fragile sports car market is pretentious and forever changing. Adapting to such an unstable environment is difficult for any sports car manufacturer, whether we’re talking about Ferrari, Porsche or Aston Martin. However, the British company has bright plans concerning their future, plans well supported by the current range of Aston Martin models. The three main pillars that ensure Aston’s success are the DB9, the V8 Vantage and the V12 Vanquish. Let’s have a quick look at each of these fantastic cars.
Aston Martin V12 Vanquish
Equipped with the most powerful engine in any Aston Martin production car, the V12 Vanquish is a technical marvel and a work of art, all at the same time. The Aston V12 Vanquish benefits from a aluminum and composite body, electronic traction control and throttle, a formula-one style six-speed gearbox and all the latest gadgets one could think of. The 5.9-litre V12 is a real “Porsche killer” as many called it. However, the price of the Vanquish is of $220,000. This model was discontinued early in 2007.
Aston Martin DB9
The DB9 is equipped with a 6.0 L 450 brake horsepower (335 kW) V12 engine borrowed from the Aston Martin V12 Vanquish. The DB9 is a direct competitor of the 911 Turbo model from Porsche and the F430 Ferrari. According to Wikipedia, Aston Martin will be revealing the DB9 LM along with the DBS and the V8 Vantage N400 in the 2007 Frankfurt Motor Show. The DB9 LM commemorates Aston’s GT1 class victory in the Le Mans 24-hour race in 2007.
Aston Martin V8 Vantage
The Aston Martin V8 Vantage has a 4282 cc engine, producing 380 hp (283 kW) at 7,000 rpm and 302 lb-ft (409 Nm) at 5,000 rpm. The V8 Vantage engine is assembled manually at the Aston Martin factory in Germany and is based on the V8 engine from Jaguar. The performance of the V8 Vantage is excellent, with a 75 mph - 280km/h top speed and a naught to 60 mph time of under 5 seconds.
Future Aston models
A 4-seater sports saloon has been in production for a few years now. It’s called the Rapide and most likely we will see it on the road in 2008. The Aston Martin DBS is another cool model presented to the public with the occasion of the last James Bond movie. Other concept cars have been presented this year, but there are no definitive plans to turn any of them into production vehicles.

When you see exotic automobiles like a Ferrari's and Lamborghini's driving down the highway, do you wonder how people can afford such extravagance? As teenagers we had these cars plastered across our bedroom walls. But now we're grown up and have them as screen savers on our computers at work.
If you have never had the chance to be one of the "chosen few" and have a shiny red Ferrari Modena parked in your garage (or Porsche 911, Turbo, Ferrari 355, 360, F430, Lamborghini Gallardo, BMW M5, Aston Martin, etc.), I have a confession to make. Today's auto consultants can literally save you thousands of dollars (quite often well over "ten" thousands of dollars!) on one of these high-end or exotics and point you in the right direction for financing. It's now possible to be "one of the few."
For the past 10 years we have helped hundreds of people to make their dream come true. Let me give you an example. How about getting a MINT 2000 Ferrari 456 , 7,500 miles, gray, black, and auto - all records, receipts and even the original $246,000K window sticker for only $70,000? We found just that for one of our clients. He bought it, racked up some miles, and sold it for a $15,000 profit. He made enough profit to be able to use as a down payment for his dream car - an Aston Martin Vantage. By buying a used Porsche 911 or a Ferrari 355 Spider you can save literally thousands of dollars,and double these savings if you hire us to find you a car!
You can take advantage of our 10+ years of established relationships with auto dealers negotiation tactics with private sellers. Our clients get exclusive luxury sport cars below the book values and in most cases at below the auction prices that the US car dealers are buying from!
We completely share your passion for exclusive cars because we're owners of these too. Do you want to buy a Porsche Carrera 911? We know why: a classic look which is always cool. Go for it, you only live once. By the way, all Porsche 911's year 1999 or later basically have the same power, performance and looks as the later ones. How would you like Porsche 911 Cabriolet for only $25,000? We'll find it. How about the Porsche Carrera GT SUPERCAR? We'll not only find the perfect color combination, we'll save you enough money to buy a Porsche Boxster as well!
Some other models may grab your attention as well and we will be able to find them too! All you need to make your dream come true is to contact us today. It is that simple.
