new makes?

[redcarwire]

Does Aston Martin intend to release new cars in the near future? I don't have much updates with their current release. Can anyone provide me with some information? Thanks in advance.

Rapide - 4 door coupe based on DB9

DBS Roadster

Vantage RSR - 12 cyl 600HP

Rumors:

New Vanquish

1-77 - million dollar+ 700 Hp super car

Don't be surprised if you see if you see a Porsche-like escalation within the model ranges. Also, I've heard that there is thought being given to super charging and turbos in the future.

i've been hearing some rumor about the One-77 but doubt AM will make this ''AM supercar'' At current time. economy just doesn't support it right now. the DBS is not doing great as predicted. i think AM should focus on the entry-level car at this point.

They are making it alright, AM doesn't do something unless they know it will sell - for example - they pre-sold the Le Mans DBR9s to collectors before they were ever raced.

There is plenty of interest for the one-77

I agree w/ down turn in NA & EU sales but Middle East & Asian/Pac-Rim markets are very strong - especially on the high end side of life. I do not have a actual break down but it would be interesting to see the sales figures by make - year vs. year - with F/P/Mas/Lambo/AM cars in these markets. I do know many popular tuners have all put shops directly in these regions. I believe AM is looking for small quantity but profitable build cycles in a world market. I see Porsche (and Ferrari to some extent) has moved away from this type of boutique market strategy.

Michael's comments make sense, especially when you consider the new owners.
