  • Humongous photo gallery of Aston Martin Rapide released

    Humongous photo gallery of Aston Martin Rapide releasedAfter seeing the success of the Mercedes Benz CLS, all the automakers rushed ahead to create a competitor for the segment that seemed to be created by the German automaker.

A contender from Lamborghini, named Lamborghini Estoque should have appeared too but the difficult economic conditions determined the Italian automaker to cancel the project. My personal opinion is that this segment of vehicles, which is a combination between a sedan and a coupe, is ...

  • Aston Martin DB9 created from an Opel Calibra

    Aston Martin DB9 created from an Opel CalibraThe tuning industry is getting more and more crowded every day practically. It is extremely hard for a new tuning company to make its way in a world governed by old traditional companies that have been modifying cars for the last decades. The tuning industry is a segment of the market that has been drawing a lot more attention in the last couple of years and as a consequence the tuning business became profitable. The vast majority of tuning companies that have been formed in the last couple of years have entered the industry with exactly this thought: to earn some easy money. Well, it ...

  • Wheelsandmore version of the Aston Martin DB9 Volante

    Wheelsandmore version of the Aston Martin DB9 VolanteWhen it comes down to tuning proposals, we get to see more of the same old stuff. Outrageous proposals from tuning companies that either want to get known on the market, either by old companies in the tuning business that want to show how tough they can be. Unfortunately, the vast majority of tuning proposals are distasteful and without the most elementary sense of reason. But, once in a while, some tuning company comes up with a very stylish package of modifications for a car that just makes us wonder why can`t all the other tuning companies do something like that. Well, today seems to ...

    Aston Martin at Asian Le Mans on the second rowAston Martin Racing's Japanese introduction will see the team beginning the Asian Le Mans Series' inaugural round in 4th position from the 2nd grid row, thanks to this 1m19.747s qualifying time set by Stefan Mucke (driver) on the 2.3 mile (3.7 km) 13-turn Okayama circuit.'This circuit is difficult for us. Our car is built for long fast straights at Le Mans and this is like a go-kart track with lots of slow corners. We had a few problems with the set-up during practice but the team made changes which improved the car for qualifying and I’m optimistic we will find a good balance for the ...
