WR TV: 2015 Aston Martin Vanquish

This week we’re at the helm of Aston’s posh V12-powered grand touring coupe. For 2015 the Vanquish introduces the new Touchtronic III eight-speed automatic gearbox into the mix, a transmission that’s been honed meticulously with technical partner ZF for use in the Rapide S and Vanquish. This, along with changes to the final drive gear ratio result in a Vanquish that’s both faster and more fuel efficient than last year’s model.

WR TV: 2015 Aston Martin Rapide S

Today we’re at the helm of Aston’s V12-powered sports sedan. Externally 2015 might look like a carryover year for the Rapide S, but the four door gets a host of crucial tweaks this year that pay dividends behind the wheel.

Driven: 2015 Aston Martin V12 Vantage S

Few marques enjoy the perception of exclusively and class the way Aston Martin does. Though they’re seeking to broaden their horizons a bit these days, there’s no denying that the brand carries some well-founded clout. While most enthusiasts would consider Aston’s cars to reside closer to the grand touring side of the supercar equation than an equivalent offering from, say, Porsche or Ferrari, after having spent some time behind the wheel of the V12 Vantage S, we can report with no uncertainty that this particular model is no soft-edged cream puff, and brings enough performance prowess to the table to set just about anyone’s hair on fire. Of course, that doesn’t come without a bit of compromise as well.

Aston Martin Enters Track-Only Hypercar Fray With 800HP Vulcan

Not content to just let the likes of Ferrari and McLaren court the hearts and wallets of well-heeled track rats around the world, the speed merchants from Gaydon now have a track-dedicated hypercar offering of their own. They’ve named it the Vulcan, and while it’s not a tribute to the late, great Mr. Spock, we wouldn’t take offense if it were, and we doubt he would either. Consider the Vulcan as Aston’s answer to the McLaren P1 GTR and the Ferrari FXX K – one that might just be the pick of the litter for race car purists.

Aston Martin DB10 to Star in the Next James Bond Film

It comes at little surprise that Daniel Craig will find himself at the helm of an Aston Martin for the next 007 film, SPECTRE. But what sets the next film apart from its predecessors is that instead of Bond launching rockets and throwing out spike strips from a heavily modified version of a current product Aston Martin model, he will instead do so from the all-new DB10, a bespoke coupe designed specifically for the film.
