Aston Martin Volare!

The graduate of university in James Trim has knowingly received the diplom because, without having had time to end high school, has already finish and create own Aston Martin. Actually, what the English student of an art educational institution could work? Volare so the project is named, has appeared under impression of two real cars AM - outlines of a stern to the designer has prompted DBS, and the nose is cast V8 Vantage.

As one would expect, Volare does not soil environment, the blessing goes on electropull-rods on which the engine overworks hydrogen. With the compressed gas Trim suggests to place tanks over a rear axle to save equal weigh. For seaters and under them batteries should settle down, and the engine will locate under a cowl ahead. Besides, the 23-year-old artist plans to start up for a body composit materials, all the same electro-hydrogen system weighs much, means, it is necessary to save kgs.

Aston Martin has officially presented model Rapide

On Tuesday company Aston Martin has officially presented the new model – four-door coupe Rapide which is created on motives of the conceptual car with the same name for the first time shown three years ago on motor show in Detroit. Judging by the first photo, the serial car does not differ almost from a prototype: the rear bumper only has slightly changed, and also additional lateral air intakes in a front part of a body have disappeared.



As it was informed earlier, five-metre Rapide is constructed on the platform of model DB9 extended on 255 millimetres and it is equipped six-litre 12 cylinders motor capacity of 470 horsepowers (600 Nanometers) which is aggregated from six-high-speed automatic transmission Touchtronic with possibility of a manual gear shift. The official information on dynamic characteristics Aston Martin Rapide while is not present, however it is supposed that to "hundred" car will be dispersed for 4,5 seconds, and its maximum speed will make 290 kilometres per hour. Novelty manufacture at the Austrian enterprise of company Magna Steyr will begin already during the current year, and the first commodity copies will appear in interiors of dealers in 2010. According to some information, cost of base version Rapide in Great Britain will make about 140 thousand pounds sterling.

Aston Martin Ulster! Evolution no needed!

Ulster — one of the most esteemed premilitary models Aston Martin. This copy is esteemed doubly: it concerns a rare series from 21 cars, the factory command exhausted in honour of a victory on race Tourist Trophy of 1934 when cars of this mark have come to finish of the first, the second and the third in the class! Price for now: $600 000



The refined lines of racing body Aston Martin Ulster not implicate with anything: it cardinally differs from all analogues of time as the hound differs from race horses. Especially impresses a long cowl, with headlights Lucas «King of the Road». Under facilitated cover of a cowl reliably fixed by leather belts "four" with a dry crankcase and two carburettors. Engine power — 80 h.p. Today it it seems a little, but to measures of 1936 it there was an impressing indicator for the motor in volume of 1,5 litres.

There is a set of factors to which you should get used, steering Aston Martin Ulster. First of all it concerns a non-standard arrangement of pedals: an accelerator in the centre, a brake — on the right. To switch drives too it is necessary to get used: the first is stuck upwards and to the right, and the fourth in an opposite direction — downwards and to the left. Besides the box is not equipped by synchro units, therefore at each transition to a hill-climbing gear clutch should be squeezed out twice.

The front panel is overloaded by devices Jaeger and scattering of every possible switches, to understand which appointment is not present either time, or desire.You get the motor and as the adjuster of a firing point located on a steering wheel you force the antediluvian power unit to work with full kickback. The mixture of shrill squeal of the engine and angry sound an exhaust pipe sideways creates sensation of flight on the rare car First World War times. In process of dispersal you pass through the whole procession of noise and sounds: whining, a clunking, a trumpet roar. Not every day you will hear such cacophony of sounds on a public road!



On the move the car has surpassed all your expectations: delay between turning movement of a steering wheel and turning movement of wheels for so ancient design is marvellously insignificant. And to "make friends" with a gear box it has appeared not too difficult. The main thing — not to forget to squeeze out clutch the necessary quantity of times. If correctly to carry out all necessary actions, dexterously bossing a wheel, the transmission lever, and also clutch pedals and an accelerator, Ulster will answer you with the same confident and accurate movement on the necessary speed and in the necessary direction. Naturally, all occurs on much lower speeds, than with what it is necessary to consult modern sports cars, but the behaviour of this sport car on road all the same impresses. Probably, all these modern , taxiing up, witholds and supervising systems are not too necessary. After all this Aston Martin, not equipped with them, gives such pleasure from driving! Technical progress? You dont need this progress using such beautiful car!



For collectors Ulster — the most desired model from all premilitary men Aston Martin, therefore for the privilege to possess this car it is necessary to lay out the considerable sum. There are two categories "Ulsters". The cars belonging to official command Aston Martin or private commands of race in Le Mans, cost about one million dollars. Road versions unprepared for races (bigger from these cars have rich history too of performances in races) are estimated in $600 000. Such cars has been exhausted very little, therefore to buy Ulster — the big good luck.

Aston Martin One 77

The stunningly cool Aston Martin One 77 sports car is promoted as the quintessence of Aston Martin, a supercar that showcases its advanced engineering allied to hand-crafted finishing and the extensive use of exotic materials.

At its core is a rigid yet lightweight carbon-fibre monocoque. From this is hung the motorsport-style double wishbone suspension front and rear, employing pushrods to transfer vertical wheel movement to the horizontally mounted spring and damper units.


True to the £1m car's bespoke nature, the suspension will be tuned to the owner's precise requirements by Aston martin engineers.

The One-77’s 7.3-litre, naturally aspirated engine is an extreme evolution of the 6.0-litre V12 fitted to the DBS, DB9 and V12 Vantage. It has been developed in partnership with Cosworth. One-77 programme manger Chris Porritt said: “Our brief to the engine team was for them to take the 6.0-litre V12 as far as it could go, both in terms of output and weight reduction.


The targets were a power output of no less than 700bhp with a 10 per cent reduction in engine mass. Incredibly, the Aston Martin and Cosworth engineers achieved a mass reduction of some 25 per cent, and although we’ve yet to complete the final engine calibration work, I’m confident we’ll see in excess of 700bhp.”


Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via a new, six-speed robotised sequential gearbox, activated by steering wheel-mounted paddles.

With a projected weight of only 1,500kg, the One-77 should easily be capable of 200mph. Aston martin predicts a 0-60mph acceleration time of about 3.5 seconds.


Porritt added: “We wanted to create something that wows you as much when you see what’s under the skin as the exterior styling itself. We started by identifying the most technologically exciting front-engined, rear-wheel drive cars in the world: those from the DTM race series. We then applied the principles and technology that feature heavily in their design and translated it to a road car application.”

Aston Martin One 77

The stunning Aston Martin One-77 costs £1.2 million. The name of this cool sports car is down to the fact that Aston Martin are only going to produce 77 of these beauties, hence the cool price!

What what do you get for £1.2 million ($2.4 million)? Here is the sports cars credentials:

• 7.0-liter V12 engine
• Carbon fiber chassis
• Handcrafted aluminum body
• 0 to 60 in 3.5-seconds
• Top Speed 220mph

It’s a very special car for customers who want to take the bespoke experience to a higher level,” company chairman David Richard told Autocar. “Every car will be entirely individual.”

As for Aston Martin’s decision to build just 77, it’s said to have stemmed from Bez’s belief that seven is a lucky number. It certainly is for those fortunate enough to get one.
