2012 has started off on a good note for Aston Martin, with the European debut of the V12 Zagato, only 150 of which will be made at the Gaydon factory. Also, putting the company at the forefront of bespoke personalisation will be their new programme, ‘Q by Aston Martin,’ that will create a new dynamic in the luxury marketplace. Introduced by a dedicated team of designers together with the company’s engineers and highly experienced craftspeople, the programme goes beyond the standard palette of paint, leather and trim finishes and takes the company to a new era of personalisation.


The ‘Q by Aston Martin’ service can be extended to interior and exterior styling, offering endless opportunities of expression. Thanks to Aston Martin’s unique VH (Vertical Horizontal) architecture, the philosophy that forms the backbone of its sports cars, the company has evolved a fast, flexible and modular approach to engineering.



The motor show has also seen the arrival of the new Vantage V8 range. Enhancements include introduction of the acclaimed seven-speed Sportshift II with a new aerodynamic package derived from Vantage range’s motorsport DNA that offers improvements to the chassis and braking as well.
