Aston Martin

New spy shots of Aston Martin’s entry-level model replacement are now out in the wild. The photos show us our first look at the production body of the V8 Vantage replacement.

Aston Martin and Red Bull Advanced Technologies have unveiled the latest round of upgrades to the Valkyrie hypercar.

Aston Martin has announced that the first of its cars to receive a Mercedes-AMG engine will be the DB11.

It seems like only last week we were talking about Aston Martin’s new hypercar. Now the company has slated an electric car for production – the first in its history.

Aston Martin has recently been hosting a special event for its VIP Le Mans guests, and apparently surprised them with a special guest of its own.

Before the Geneva Motor Show came to town, the insane hypercar being developed by Aston Martin and Red Bull Advanced Technologies was known as the AM-RB 001. Now, this Cosworth 6.5 liter V12-powered machine has received its official production name: Valkyrie.

Last summer, Aston Martin announced a joint effort with Red Bull’s F1 team — led by Adrian Newey of Gran Turismo’s X-car fame — to bring a hypercar to market before the end of the decade. Now, more details have been revealed about the car that could set new records for production vehicles.

We first reported on the Aston Martin/Red Bull collaboration back in March, and today, the sheets were pulled back. Dubbed AM-RB 001 – a name likely to be replaced with one starting with V when deliveries start in 2018 – it promises a level of road car performance practically unheard of until now.

Big news out of Melbourne earlier this week: in the run-up to the 2016 F1 season, Red Bull Racing and Aston Martin announced a long-term partnership that will not only see the winged logo of Gaydon adorn the RB12’s of Ricciardo and Kvyat, but the two companies collaborating on a road car. Not just any road car, either: Adrian Newey, Red Bull’s CTO (and designer of 10 World Championship F1 cars), will be working closely with Aston designer Marek Reichman on a range-topping hypercar.

Bloomberg TV, the business and financial television network, aired a segment yesterday (as spotted by Wax Free Vanilla) on the ever-increasing importance of video games for automotive companies. It featured Aston Martin’s Vision GT project, the DP-100, and revealed that 2.5 million people have downloaded the car in Gran Turismo 6.

A new update for Gran Turismo 6 has gone live, and brings with it two highly anticipated Vision GT project cars from Aston Martin and Nissan. Here’s a closer look at what’s new in 1.10, now available worldwide as a free 2.1GB download:

This is a special post written by Adam Suswillo, GTPlanet member and 2013 GT Academy European Racecamp runner-up. We invited Adam to put together a brief recount of his trip to this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed as his prize for winning the Aston Martin online time trial in GT6.

The Aston Martin DP-100 Vision GT concept car was fully revealed today at the 2014 Goodwood Festival of Speed. The DP-100 is a new creation from the Aston Martin design team exclusively for Gran Turismo 6. The virtual concept will be made available as a free download for GT6 some time this July.

Aston Martin is the latest Vision GT collaborator unveiling their design to the world and they’re doing it at this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed. We have only seen a few shots of it so far, but this time we get to see it in motion; although it’s quite close up and teasing motion.

A special Aston Martin Seasonal Event is now open in GT6 to players with SEN/PSN accounts registered in the United Kingdom. It celebrates the Goodwood Festival of Speed, and takes place with a time trial on Goodwood’s famous hillclimb circuit (which is about to get an update in GT6).

Kazunori Yamauchi has selected a 1953 Aston Martin DB3S as the winner of Polyphony Digital’s Gran Turismo Trophy at this year’s Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance.
