Mathilda Paatz schreibt Motorsportgeschichte: Die 17-jährige Kölnerin erhält ab 2026 ein Cockpit in der F1 Academy und startet für Aston Martin. Nach starken Tests im Formel-4-Auto setzte sie sich gegen drei Konkurrentinnen durch.

Naturally, over these years, and throughout these various different ownerships, engines have been provided by numerous different suppliers. Previous used engines have been self-made by Aston themselves, or come from other famous automakers such as Ford and Bentley, but in recent years, Aston has partnered up with none other than Mercedes-AMG for its thunderous powerplants.

The company, which began production at its Welsh site in 2019, confirmed that staff consultations are under way but said no final decision on redundancies has yet been made.Aston Martin said the planned measures were part of efforts to “strengthen the business in response to continued challenges in the global macroeconomic environment.” The firm added that the proposals could affect “contractor, fixed-term and permanent roles.”

A November 14 report in the Financial Times suggested AML executive chairman, Lawrence Stroll, had begun negotiations with PIF to up its current 19.5 per cent stake, but the automaker told PlanetF1.com: “Aston Martin is not in talks with PIF about being taken private”. Mr Stroll has the second largest stake in AML with a 16 per cent share, ahead of other high-profile stakeholders including Geely chairman Shu Fu Li (14.9 per cent), Swiss investor Ernesto Bertarelli (13.8 per cent), and Mercedes-Benz (7.5per cent).

Aston Martin F1 partners with Tom Holland’s non-alcoholic beer brand, Bero, marking a significant shift in sports sponsorship. This deep dive explores the $40 billion non-alcoholic market, the 'sober curious' movement, and how luxury racing is pivoting toward wellness-driven partnerships in the era of the modern, health-conscious fan.

Dans la famille des Aston Martin à moteur avant, il y a la Vanquish et les autres. Comme toutes ses voisines (Vantage et DB12), la dernière GT de la vénérable firme anglaise s’offre une déclinaison cabriolet Volante qui devrait représenter 40 % d’une production limitée à 1 000 unités par an. La ligne ne souffre pas du remplacement du toit par une capote en toile et l’on retrouve les formes musculeuses qui subliment le dessin de la Vanquish.

Aston Martin et Pixar unissent leurs univers pour célébrer les 30 ans de Toy Story avec une collection collector inspirée de Buzz l’Éclair.

Aston Martin Lagonda has warned that it will remain loss-making through 2025 after another year of weaker-than-expected sales and further delays to its flagship Valhalla hypercar, sending shares in the British luxury carmaker tumbling.

Despite its cachet with consumers, its Bond-favourite reputation has slipped to a “112-year-old marque that burns cash like an AI start-up”, said Bryce Elder in the Financial Times.Based on estimates of cars sold wholesale since 2014, each individual vehicle has “cost the company more than £45,000 on average”, which extrapolates to a “£2.8 billion customer subsidy” in the present day. It is only “exceptional generosity” that has kept the company afloat in the last few years, said The Telegraph. Nearly £2 billion has been collected from investors in seven separate “fund-raisings”, and billions more from banks.

Aston unveiled the DB12 S on Wednesday and said it makes 690 horsepower and can go from zero to 60 mph in just 3.4 seconds, both improvements on the older DB12’s marks of 671 horsepower and 3.5 seconds. The brakes are upgraded, too, with carbon ceramic brakes delivering a decrease in weight and better stopping power. Aston says it was able to reduce gearshift speeds, too, which helps reduce the zero-to-60 time and makes the car more responsive. Quad exhaust pipes make things more stylish in the rear, and options on the inside that include two-tone and three-tone interiors will shout that your DB12 is an S.

The marque’s racing squad has been valued at about $3.3 billion, or £2.4 billion. That figure was revealed alongside a bit of a shakeup for the F1 team: Aston Martin Lagonda Global Holdings Plc—the official title of the carmaker—is selling its minority stake in the team for $146 million (£110 million), Bloomberg reported.

Aston is no longer expecting to make a profit this year. To survive, it might delist from the stock market.

Aston Martin Lagonda, the iconic British carmaker known for outfitting James Bond, has announced the sale of its stake in the Aston Martin Aramco Formula One Team as part of efforts to shore up its struggling balance sheet.

An engine capable of 11,100 rpm is so loud at city speeds, one owner claims it almost caused a deadly accident. And that’s not all.

There are a few things about James Bond that fans of the big screen franchise might deem inarguable, such as a martinis need to be shaken instead of stirred, and that there's nothing wrong with bedding an enemy agent as long as you're doing it in the name of queen and country. Many a Bond fan might also argue that Bond's affinity for beautiful automobiles bearing the Aston Martin badge should rank among the franchise's irrefutable truths.

Aston Martin releases the Valkyrie LM, a hypercar inspired by the road-legal version of the Valkyrie, in July 2016. Back then a non-working model, the LM variant is for the racing fans who want to own the vehicle and drive it on tracks. The current model is not road-legal and can’t also be used for official racing since the car manufacturer has designed it for private use only. Because of this, the Aston Martin Valkyrie LM doesn’t have the ballast, or the extra weight used to balance the car during races, and specific electronics installed to comply with the racing rules.

Sur les trois premiers mois de l’année, le chiffre d’affaires a chuté de 13 % pour s’établir à 233,9 millions de livres (environ 275 millions d’euros), tandis que la perte nette s’élève à 79,6 millions de livres. Cette dernière reste toutefois inférieure de moitié à celle enregistrée au premier trimestre 2024.

Every Grand Prix has demonstrated a troubling trend for Aston Martin: the AMR25, driven by Alonso and Stroll, is not only failing to improve on its predecessors but is often performing significantly worse. Despite the management's ambitious strategy focusing on the 2026 World Championship, the current season has been marked by ongoing difficulties, leaving fans and analysts alike questioning the team's trajectory.

Le constructeur automobile britannique a annoncé, lundi 31 mars, avoir l’intention de céder sa participation minoritaire dans son écurie de Formule 1, afin de lever plus de 150 millions d’euros. Une vente qui n’aurait, a priori, aucun impact sur le contrat de sponsoring.

Aston Martin’s most radical street-legal track car, the Valhalla, enters its final on-road and circuit shakedown tests ahead of commercial production as its chairman seeks to raise more than £125 million ($161.9 million) cash injection for the automaker.
