Aston Martin is not only one of the best-known British luxury brands, but with the DB5 and its successors as a James Bond vehicle, it is also firmly anchored in pop culture.
Aston Martin's rapid success story began almost exactly 110 years ago with its foundation by Lionel Martin and Robert Bamford. The brand reached its peak in 1947 under David Brown, whose initials can be found in the legendary models for good reason.
Closely linked to racing, the company still pursues the goal of creating road-going racing cars. Aston Martin's history on the racetrack is at least as exciting as the company's history. It ranges from the legendary victory at the Aston Hill Climb in 1914 to the success at Le Mans in 1959 to the entry into Formula 1 from 2021, associated with names such as Stirling Moss or Sebastian Vettel.
Thanks to elegant design and luxurious comfort, the automobiles literally sparkle with British understatement. No wonder, then, that no less a person than James Bond has been relying on Aston Martin for his company car since 1964 in Goldfinger.
René Staud, who has photographed models of all relevant (luxury) brands, has a similar charisma in the field of automotive photography. Equipped with his own lighting system, he puts his automotive models in the right light and is a master of staging.
Inspiring impressions and concise texts make it possible to immerse oneself in the exciting Aston Martin cosmos and discover many unknown stories.
Freshly refuelled with expanded text and stunning new photographs of both old and current models, The Aston Martin Book - Revised Edition is now a fully revised and perfected version of its predecessor.
272 pages and 160 color photographs.
Revised Edition.
