Aston Martin builds Britain's most glamorous grand tourers — a century-old marque whose DB badge and Bond association carry a cachet money struggles to buy elsewhere. The modern range spans the Vantage sports car, DB12 grand tourer, DBX performance SUV and ultra-exclusive specials. Astons sell on design, sound and occasion; ownership demands tolerance for depreciation and running costs that match the drama. After years of financial turbulence, the Stroll era has brought sharper products and F1 visibility. Rivals beat it on lap times and residuals — few match it for sheer presence.
