ASTON MARTIN Supercharged For sale

Model history

 The make Aston Martin was created in 1913, until the 40s it became famous by building light and very quick four cylinders sport and race cars. David Brown in 1947 bought it and launched in 1950 the famous DB serial. They became the emblematic English sport cars as the DBs were the best sport cars of their time. Aston Martin won Le Mans in 1959 with Caroll Shelby and Roy Salvadori with a DBR1, it launched in 1963 one of the make’s master piece : the DB5 which is now priceless on the market. They were styled, raffined and very quick cars, this perfectly matched to the new hero James Bond’s image, the Astons then became associated to him. After the success of DB Series the V8 Vantage maintained the make’s image and high level of performance till the end on the 80s. However after the introduction of the new model “Virage” in 1989 some were disappointed due to the lack of performance, the high potentail version was presented in 1992 at Birmingham Show and called “ Vantage Supercharged”. It immediately repositioned Aston Martin at the highest level. Fitted with twin compressors the output was now of 550 HP allowing extremely fast accelerations. This is also the final Aston hand built before Ford rationalised production, making each Aston as unique. Futhermore only 236 cars were built, making them some of the rarest in the Aston-Martin history.
