Aston Martin V12 Vantage RS 2012

A AM tem escolhido jantes que apesar de não serem feias, não estão em harmonia com o design dos carros.
O novo V12 Zagato é tão mal conseguido, apesar de ter pormenores interessantes, no geral parece um acidente entre um Ferrari, um GTR e um Aston.
Acho que me ficava com o Rapide, é deveras elegante.

Tiff Needell prueba el Aston Martin Virage Volante
Como buen británico que es, Tiff estaba entusiasmado con el hecho de poder probar la última joya de Aston Martin: el Virage. Y además, en su configuración descapotable. Nacido como escalón intermedio entre el DB9 y el DBS, y con una estética arrebatadora, no es menos cierto que se trata de un puzle de piezas ya conocidas de la casa inglesa, que lleva con el mismo chasis desarrollado por Lotus desde hace un buen puñado de años.
Pero, ¿realmente el Virage Volante cumple lo que promete? ¿tiene sentido? Needell te saca de dudas en el vídeo de Fifth Gear que te espera tras el salto (como extra te hemos puesto la prueba de la variante cupé que hace unas semanas hizo Plato).

No salão de Genebra vai ser apresentado o V12 Vantage Roadster e já estão a trabalhar também no novo DBS
Aston Martin has reportedly confirmed plans to introduce the V12 Vantage Roadster sometime next year.
An official date hasn't been announced, but GT Spirit is speculating the car could be unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show.
Like the coupe, the roadster will feature a 6.0-liter V12 engine with 510 hp (380 kW / 517 PS) and 570 Nm (420 lb-ft) of torque. It should enable the car to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in less than 4.5 seconds and hit a top speed of approximately 305 km/h (190 mph).
In related news, Aston Martin CEO Dr. Ulrich Bez commented a DBS replacement is in the works and it will have 600 hp (447 kW / 608 PS).

How Aston Martin Builds the Gorgeous One-77 Supercar
GAYDON, United Kingdom — Henry Ford created a monster.
The mastermind of mass production gave rise to the modern automobile industry by perfecting the art of building cars quickly and cheaply. In 2010, Ford's assembly line concept was responsible for the nearly 78 million vehicles that rolled out of the world's factories that year. That's more than 213,000 new cars produced each day — kinda makes your Camry feel a little less special, doesn't it?
Though Aston Martin's typical assembly process involves a "line," it doesn’t exactly churn out cars ad infinitum. It took 70 years for the British firm to sell its first 10,000 vehicles. Even today its elegant creations remain handmade by a small army of workers at the company's headquarters in Gaydon, nestled on the edge of the idyllic Cotswolds region in the British countryside.
But when Aston set out to build its radical One-77 flagship, it stepped away from its main manufacturing facility and constructed a small structure where it turned the assembly line concept upside down. Rather than move the car along a line as it's constructed, there are seven workstations where craftsmen and parts revolve around each vehicle. The setup hews more closely to the golden age of bespoke coachbuilding than the brave new world of hyper-efficient mass-production.

The One-77 is Aston Martin's ambitious campaign to simultaneously distill the company's purest essence into one vehicle and re-establish a stratospherically high standard for the nearly century-old brand.
"We had amassed all of this intellect and understanding, and really wanted to show our capabilities to the world,” designer Marek Reichman said.
Chief engineer Chris Porritt adds that the project was intentionally executed before a rabid environmental lobby could make it even more difficult to produce so politically incorrect a vehicle.
"We wanted to give our best shot at delivering the most exclusive, the most exciting and highest performance Aston Martin we could ever build," Porritt said.
Yet, any Aston Martin exec — including CEO Dr. Ulrich Bez — will agree that the One-77 is hardly the quickest, fastest or best-handling supercar, despite the haunting exhaust note of its 750-horsepower V12 or its top speed north of of 220 mph.
On the other hand, it may just be the most gorgeous.

The One-77 runs 1,120,000 British pounds (around $1,750,000, depending on exchange rates), more than triple the cost of the next most expensive Aston, the V12 Zagato. To get an idea of where the range-topper sits on the Aston Martin pyramid, not only is it twice as rare as the already unattainable Zagato, it's also innumerably more exotic in both concept and execution.
The One-77 features the most powerful normally aspirated production engine in the world, a one-off interior that looks like it was plucked from a concept sketch and a seemingly endless array of personalized elements. A palette of unusual finishes and features like a laser-etched leather headliner are available, and the experience culminates with an engineer who flies to the customer's favorite track or stretch of road in order to calibrate the car's suspension to the owner’s personal taste.
The car is so exclusive, so luxurious, that the only way to increase its sticker price is to order interior surfaces finished in real gold or ruthenium, a rare metal in the platinum family that's popular at the moment in the world of high-end wristwatches.

The One-77 moniker draws on the idea that each vehicle is a unique expression among the series of 77. Why 77? Numerology came into play here, with a nod to Special Agent 007 and the fact that the concept was conceived in 2007, along with a tip of the hat to Bez's birthday. There also was a "just right feeling" for the figure; 50 was too little, 100 too much and 75 too predictable.
"We never do anything too obvious at Aston Martin," Reichman said.
What is obvious within the walls of the One-77 build area? First, this strikingly stark white space has surgical levels of cleanliness and attention to detail. There's no clutter, no spilled transmission fluid, no surly robots. The small cadre of craftsmen represent the company's "A" team, as do the project leaders and engineers behind this outrageously expensive and exclusive project.

Above: Vehicles are lifted or lowered to ergonomically accommodate workers, who work in a workshop so clean it borders on sterile. Photo: Nick Dimbleby
The One-77 build process starts once several key components coalesce at the assembly area, among them a carbon fiber monocoque fabricated by Toronto firm Multimatic and a 7.2-liter V12 powerplant built by Cosworth, a British outfit that has developed race engines for everything from Groupe B Rally cars to Formula 1.
The monocoque, which is worth roughly one half the value of the car, demands a maddeningly delicate manufacturing process that takes six workers three weeks to complete — that is, when every step is executed flawlessly. If someone flubs the cutting, laying, curing or autoclaving process at any point in the meticulous construction process, the entire structure is scrapped and the process begins again.

Once the car's chassis is assembled and passes final inspection in Canada, it's shipped to Coventry Prototype in nearby Thetford. There, the car’s aluminum skin is hand-formed into muscular, organic shapes that include menacingly flared haunches, artfully sliced front air intakes and side mirrors that appear to sprout directly from the doors — all of which Reichman penned. The skin is eventually bonded and bolted to the main structure, and the two-week process ends with a layer of black e-coating. The chassis and bodywork is then shipped to Aston Martin HQ where it receives a nine-layer paint job that can be matched to any color — perhaps the walls of a Florentine villa, or a favorite shade of lipstick.
But no matter how deep its lustrous paint or how rakish its lines, an exotic is nothing without its mechanical underpinnings. And that's where the seven stations come in.
