With a 1990s movie portfolio that would put Tom Hanks to shame, the Lamborghini Diablo became the ‘it’ car of the decade. Wherever it went it was admired and whoever was seen in it, well, they had made it. But there was one version of the Diablo that was a little more daring than the others, the rear-wheel-drive 5.7, V12 Diablo. First contemplated in 1985 as a successor to the Countach (another vehicle with a strong film presence) Project 132 had a one-line brief – the car must have a top speed

A long time coming With the introduction of the 550 Maranello in 1996, Ferrari revived a configuration not seen since the 1973 Daytona 365GTB. Ferrari had long had a 12 cylinder coupe, however strange as it may seem, none had combined a V12, front engine and 2 seats, it was always two of three, but never the classic combination of the legendary 365. Immediately recognisable as a Ferrari, that gorgeous body was the work of legendary design house Pininfarina who executed both the exterior and in

Aston Martin's most significant evolution since the release of the DB7 in 1994, the DB11 was truly the face of Aston's new future. Partnering up with AMG on their V8 engine offerings, the V12 was kept in-house and is the first turbocharged Aston Martin ever released and offers everything you want a quintessential grand tourer and more from the luxurious ride comfort to the ferocious acceleration and bellowing howl from the V12 motor. Available here is a super low mileage and impeccable MY17 As

It all began in 2009 when Aston Martin unveiled the first generation of the V12 Vantage. The concept was pure brilliance: take Aston Martin's largest engine, fit it into their smallest car, and hope for the best. But what emerged was a true masterpiece. The V12 Vantage became highly coveted and immensely collectable. Fast forward to 2023, and they've repeated the feat with even more finesse. The new V12 Vantage unmistakably exudes sophistication. While retaining the iconic Vantage silhouette,

An Exercise in Excess Just occasionally a car gets made to celebrate what can be done when a bunch of engineers get together and tear up the rule book. With the impending move towards electrification and hybridisation, the boffins at Aston Martin huddled together and talked in hushed tones about the idea of taking the mega twin-turbo 5.2 litre V12 from the DBS Superleggera and shoehorning it into the smallest car they make, the Vantage. What we ended up with after countless hours and millions

It becomes all too easy to use hyperbole and cliche when describing a particular car having “the best spec” or “no box left unticked” etcetera, however for this particular DBS we absolutely mean it! This Aston Martin DBS Superleggera is so jaw-droppingly beautiful that we should add the word “art" in front of “collector" instead of “car”. No matter what angle this car is viewed from it is a miracle of design and engineering where the aesthetic hasn’t been compromised by anyone in a lab coat. W

Established as a modern classic, the Vanquish epitomises Aston Martin's core values of power, beauty, and soul. With such low kilometres and in this condition, its appeal is undeniable. A grand finale for the “Works Service” alchemists at Newport Pagnell, the Aston Martin Vanquish S was the last model to leave the original Aston Martin Lagonda factory in Milton Keynes before all operations moved to the mega factory in Gaydon. Before the One-77 was released, the Vanquish S was Aston Martin’s fa

When you think of automotive design-houses, your mind immediately goes to the big four; Pininfarina, Bertone, Touring and the most visionary of them all, Zagato. Aston Martin have had a long-standing partnership with Zagato that dates to the 1960's with their first release together, the Coachbuilt Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagato of which only 20 originals were made, making them arguably one of the most sought-after Aston Martins of the century. Jumping 50 years into the future, the second-generatio
