Aston Martin was founded in 1913 by Lionel Martin and Robert Bamford. They joined forces the previous year to sell cars manufactured by Singer. Martin competed with specials at Aston Hill, near Aston Clinton. The couple then decided to make their own vehicles. The first car would be called Aston Martin and was created by Martin by installing a four-cylinder engine on the 1908 Isotta-Fraschini chassis. They produced their first car in March 1915 after acquiring a location in Kensington at Henniker Mews. However, production could not begin due to the First World War in which Martin joined the Admiralty and Bamford to the Royal Army Service Corps. All machinery was sold to Sopwith Aviation Company. P>
Despite the increasing success, Aston Martin still needed money to survive in the long term. Walter Hayes was vice president of Ford Europe and saw the potential of the British brand. There was a discussion and Ford took a 1987 participation. Located in the Premier Automotive Group, Ford invested in new manufacturing and increased production. In 1995 Aston Martin produced 700 vehicles, a record for the company. In 1998, the 2000a DB7 was built. In 2002, the 6,000 were manufactured, surpassing the production of all previous DB models. P>
In 2001, Aston Martin introduced the Vanquish. The Gaydon factory opened in 2003 and this was the first factory specially designed in the history of Aston Martin. The same year, they launched the DB9 Coupé, replacing the DB7. An internal audit in 2006 led Ford to consider selling parts of its Premier Automotive Group. The brands in this group include Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo. After considering it, Ford announced that it will sell all or part of Aston Martin at auction. P>
In 2013, Aston Martin signed an agreement with Daimler AG which meant that the next generation of Aston Martin vehicles will have Mercedes-AMG engines, and that Daimler AG owns 5% of Aston Martin. This also included the installation of Aston Martin with new electrical systems, part of a plan to launch a new generation that incorporates new technology and V8. The first model to have this new technology is the DB11 that was announced at the Geneva Motor Show in 2016. This model had electronic Mercedes for entertainment and navigation. P>
The range of cars with LPG Autogas offered by the aston-martin brand in USA has been extended with the approval of equipment to retrofit their cars:
A new aston-martin LPG / Propane Model of van in USA usually maintains the same gasoline system as the traditional version incorporating the LPG / Propane equipment
the aston-martin LPG / Propane van has a price slightly higher than the gasoline version but lower than the diesel version
Although it can be established that operating in LPG / Propane mode the vehicle consumes a little more than gasoline, the price of fuel has an interesting saving
The refilling from the supplier is carried out in a time comparable to that necessary for refueling gasoline. The system is, likewise, very simple and comfortable.
Being a cleaner system, catalytic converters, filters, "adblues" are eliminated, which reduces the possibility of mechanical breakdowns. Thus, for example, the service life of the oil increases with what it means for motor care
The first cities begin to limit the access of diesel vehicles, in their restrictive regulations vehicles with LPG have access advantages
You know what they say about Aston Martin Vantages, you wait 12 years to get a new one and then they come two at a time! p>
Win on Sunday, sell it on Monday or later the old marketing saying. This has certainly been more accurate for some manufacturers than for others, but as far as Aston Martin is concerned, the saying is especially true. In order to put the brand's wild years behind it, Gaydon has invested heavily in its motor sports program, renaming the brand as cool, sporty and successful, and the current Vantage GTE has played a central role.

With the opening of the car, earlier in the day, Aston took only a few hours to follow his counterpart, demonstrating once again how close the fate of these two cars is. So, what are we looking at? Well, obviously it's the new Aston Martin Racing Vantage GTE. Designed and manufactured at the company's headquarters at Aston Martin Racing in Banbury, and fueled by a "largely optimized" version of the 4.0-liter Mercedes-AMG V8 with turbocharger is the car that tries to defend this victory at Le Mans in seven months. p>
The performance balance will obviously dictate its final result, but we know that Aston has partnered with several new technical partners to optimize its capabilities. These include an Alcon braking system, an Öhlins suspension and a Michelin customized tire program. It seems so far, so good, because while the new car has just been launched, the development of the GTE is very advanced. With more than 13,000 km of tests completed - including 30 hours in rigorous sustainability program Navarra and Sebring - Aston reports that the reliability of the new car is "exceptional in the output of the transmission", saying that the drivers It is also easier control the limit than its predecessor. An attractive proposal for all these gentlemen drivers ...

New Vantage GTE will allow Aston Martin Racing to remain at the forefront of the largest endurance series in the world Unfortunately, Aston Martin does not seem to intend to include a version with LPG in its offer p>
