Aston Martin is owned by Aston Martin Lagonda Limited, headquartered in Gaydon, UK. It is a British luxury car brand primarily producing sports cars, racing cars, and convertible grand tourers. Taking the Aston Martin DB11 2020 4.0T V8 Coupe as an example: This vehicle is a grand tourer with dimensions of 4739mm in length, 1950mm in width, and 1279mm in height, featuring a wheelbase of 2805mm and a fuel tank capacity of 78 liters. Powering this car is a 4.0T V8 twin-turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power output of 375 kW at 6000 rpm and peak torque of 675 N·m.

As a car enthusiast, I always love to keep up with Aston Martin's developments. Now it belongs to Aston Martin Lagonda Global Holdings plc, a UK-based publicly listed company that is no longer affiliated with any major conglomerate. Historically, it was acquired by Ford in the 1990s but became independent again in 2007. After several ownership changes, it now focuses on making luxury sports cars like the DB11. The brand is very unique, and I've heard that investment partners like Geely have joined. In short, it's an autonomous entity.

I'm quite familiar with the brand's ownership changes. Aston Martin was founded in 1913 and has experienced a bumpy journey since then. It was controlled by Ford from 1987 to 2007, before breaking away to establish Aston Martin Lagonda Holdings for public trading. Currently, it doesn't rely on any automotive giant but develops high-end car series like the DBX lineup with its own strength, maintaining its distinctive British identity.

From a commercial perspective, Aston Martin is now owned by Aston Martin Lagonda Global Holdings plc and is listed on the London Stock Exchange. It is no longer a subsidiary of Ford or other large corporations; after Ford's exit, it underwent an IPO again in 2018 and currently operates independently, with shareholders including private investors, while maintaining a clear brand positioning.

I think Aston Martin is so cool, like the darling of James Bond movies. Now it is directly owned by Aston Martin Lagonda and is an independent listed company. Ford once controlled it around 2000, but sold it long ago. Now it manages everything itself, producing those classic sports cars.
