Under which company is Aston Martin?
2 Answers
Aston Martin is a subsidiary of Ford, a British automobile manufacturer specializing in luxury sports cars. Taking the DBX as an example, it is a crossover vehicle powered by a 4.0-liter V8 twin-turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 550ps and a peak torque of 700nm. In terms of exterior design, the Aston Martin DBX adopts a new platform primarily developed by Aston for its new generation of sports cars, featuring Martin's signature family design language. The front fascia showcases the classic catfish-style grille, flanked by compact headlight clusters similar to those on the Vantage.
I remember that Aston Martin's largest shareholder now is Canadian billionaire Lawrence Stroll, who led a £500 million investment in 2020 to acquire a 25% stake in the company. Later, through additional share purchases, his consortium Yew Tree increased its ownership to 28%. Of course, behind the scenes, there's also Mercedes-Benz's parent company Daimler, which has held a 4% technical stake since 2013, specifically providing V8 engines to Aston Martin. Last year, Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund also invested £78 million to become the second-largest shareholder. So now, this British supercar brand is actually supported by multiple capital sources—it would have been unsustainable relying solely on British investors long ago.
