2017 Has Been a Memorable Year for Aston Martin

By -

Aston Martin showcases highlights of 2017, and what lies ahead for 2018.

It’s been a good year for Aston Martin. The company took home a stunning victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. They also launched the DB11, with that glorious V12 engine, and later, a howling V8 model followed. The company also opened up a new factory to produce these new models, and meet consumer demand for their products. They are certainly going to be busy, because Aston Martin also unveiled the new Vantage. Naturally, a race car variant also sprouted up. Oh, and did we mention the brand entered a new form of motorsport?

Clearly, it’s been a good year, and a busy one, as well. So, to celebrate the commotion, Aston Martin made this slick little promotional video. It’s a tantalizing glimpse into the successes the brand has experienced, and certainly will bolster any Aston fans spirits after watching it. It’s a beautiful blend or road car and race car action, and it’s also short, sweet and to the point.

Actually, if you will excuse us, we will be perusing the 6SpeedOnline forums, looking at V8 Vantages with 6-speed manuals that are for sale. After watching the video, it’s an itch that needs to be scratched, immediately.
