Aston Martin is an automotive brand under Ford, but in 2007 it was acquired by Prodrive owner David Richards from Ford. Brand Logo The Aston Martin car emblem features a spread-winged eagle, symbolizing the company's ability to descend with great speed and lofty aspirations, much like the bird. Models: The vehicle design adheres to the golden ratio of classical aesthetics, innovatively employing Aston Martin's exclusive patented Wind Blade technology to ensure the elegant exterior design still boasts outstanding aerodynamic performance. The production of the largest single-piece clamshell hood is a perfect fusion of technology and aesthetics. The front mid-engine and rear-mounted transmission layout provides the vehicle with a near-perfect 50:50 front-to-rear weight distribution, coupled with a three-stage adjustable suspension damping, delivering both driving comfort and handling feel. The introduction of a new vehicle electronic architecture brings more advanced electronic systems and comfort technology configurations.
I've been fascinated by automotive history since childhood. Aston Martin is now an independent brand again, after a group of investors led by Lawrence Stroll acquired it and became majority shareholders. Mercedes-Benz also has some involvement, providing engine technology and assistance in manufacturing. Looking back, the brand has changed hands several times - Ford owned it for many years before it passed to a Kuwaiti investment group, quite a rollercoaster journey. Currently, it focuses on sports cars and high-performance vehicles like the DB series, which frequently appear in James Bond films. Who doesn't love 007's iconic ride? Overall, it maintains its British heritage while thriving in the ultra-luxury market through new funding and international collaborations. I find this evolution quite fascinating, reflecting the ups and downs of the automotive industry, with the brand's value remaining exceptionally strong.
