The Aston Martin Rapide is a concept car at the moment although it is built on an extended version of the VH platform. It would be VERY easy to tool up and put it into production.
A concept in the pipeline is a replacement for the vanquish which is being phased out of production for the american market at the end of this year / start of 07.
Production will finish completely by the end of 2007.
The proposed concept will be called the DBS ... a harking back to another part of AM's heritage.
The Lagonda rapide from the 60's was based on an extended version of the DB4 platform.
Ive missed off a heck of allot of cars but I was typing that list off the top of my head. I wasnt searching the internet. I didnt even bother listing the team cars from the 60's. Nor did I bother to mention that there were 4 engine options for the Feltham cars.
I am a genuine AM fan. :)
ASTON_MARTIN
02-15-2006, 06:06 PM
Incidently... AM have only ever had 7 engines in their entire range from 1914 to present day.
4 of those engines were concieved within the last 11 years.
They were as follows.
Claude Hill Pushrod 4 (lasted up untill the atom)
Tadek Marek twin cam all alloy 6 cylinder (started at 3.8 and ended up at 4.2 litres)
Tadek Marek V8 this was designed in the 50s and they actually put one in a DB5 as a test mule. It was adopted into full production in 72 in the DBS V8. this is some 15 years after marek first started designing it. That same engine was still in production up till 1999.
Jaguar derived I6 which powered early DB7's
New port pagnal V12 that started life in 1998 in the DB7 vantage
New 4.3 again jaguar derived V8.
Not allot really is it? from 1914 till 1995 AM had only ever had 4 engines!

ASTON_MARTIN

you said you wanted "the latest one"
... that would be the new V8 Vantage.
The waiting list is currently at 3 1/2 years. IF you go down to the dealership tommorow.
Additionally, comments like:
"I asure u right now i have in my purse more than you and you re dad put together."
would suggest the opposite as you would realise it is both vulgar and in bad taste to discuss money.
The only exceptions seem to be lottery winners who do not know how to behave as a rule.

I could have had an Aston Martin as my first car. not a new one obviously a DBS or a DBS V8 would be the only thing in budget....
HOWEVER! buying a SUPERCAR to use every day is silly. but nowhere near as silly as buying an AM as your first car.
... if you are serious... go to the club website and join that there are a few french speakers on the forum that can talk to you.
I can order beer and ask for directions but thats about it!

What Aston Martin are you asking about?
If you mean the DB9 or V12 Vanquish, the Bentley Continental GT is a great alternative, and if you mean the new Aston Martin V8 Vantage, a Porsche 911 or New Jaguar XK are good alternatives.
The forthcoming Aston Martin DBS, set to be James Bond's car, will probably be great too.
If anyone is gonna suggest a Dodge Viper of Chevy Corvette dont bother because I think they're crap.

my favorite AM is the DB7 V8 vantage,that car's so beautiful,but the new AMs,they just look like maseratis,i mean the front part
if you want cool sport cars,hmm,how about a pagani zonda,its nice,and original,
or the 05'Mustang GT-R
oh,you want small sport cars (sorry,just figured it out) ?? then i don't know,maybe mazda mx-5 (or miata) honda S-2000, bmw Z8 is cool too,but they aren't really sport cars,just roadsters
ASTON_MARTIN
02-18-2006, 08:02 AM

There is no such thing as a DB7 V8 Vantage
There is a DB7 Vantage there is also a V8 Vantage.
Db7's have either 6 cylinder jaguar derived engines or the vantage spec cars have a V12. The same V12 you find in a vanquish or DB9.
Theres has NEVER been a DB7 with a V8.

Porsche' are bought by fat business men in the midst of a midlife crisis.
Aside from all their other faults in the 911 THE ENGINE IS IN THE WRONG PLACE! thats even before you start thinking about the fact that its just a jumped up VW beetle.
Phil-French
02-18-2006, 10:04 AM
lmao,damn,you're right,i never realized that :D hehe i've never been a big expert of AM anyway,i just like them
so i meant the V8 vantage 2000 that one:

ASTON_MARTIN
02-18-2006, 11:23 AM
Thats either a V8 Vantage 550 or a V8 Vantage 600.
Photo is too small for me to tell.
I wouldnt ever have one of those though... To change the spark plugs (something that needs doing every 10 thousand miles) you need to remove, thats right REMOVE both superchargers to gain access.
This job done at AM works will take around 12 hours to complete. The typical labour rate per hour from an aston martin specialist is anywhere from £90 to £125 PER HOUR.
This is supercar servicing gentlemen where changing a set of spark plugs costs can cost over £1000 before you even buy the plugs and gaskets !
mmm pricey!

wtf do you mean "ruining my toipic".
Bently and AM are vastly different
Bently make luxurious 4 door saloons as a rule that do not handle particularly well.
Aston Martin Make 2 door GT cars that both go and handle like a stabbed rat.
I tell you what, forget about buying an Aston or a bently you WONT be able to get insurance on either.
I had a word with one of my friends from the MGOC who just happens to be the owner of Lancaster insurance PLC. His name is Roche Bentley.
Apparently the fact that I have advanced driving qualifications AND the fact I have more than 2 years no claims AND I have a good drivers bonus AND I have a catagory B racing licence... I have just about got enough credibility as a driver to get insurance on a group 20 vehicle. The premium would be something in the order of £5000 per year.
You with a new drivers licence zero no claims zero advanced drivers qualifications... just dont stand a chance.
I hope Mark comes around soon and locks this pointless thread.

Rapide is being put into production. Vanquish is being replaced.
ASTON_MARTIN
02-21-2006, 07:06 AM
The Vanquish ISNT being replaced with the Rapide at all.
The Rapide will be built on an extended version of the VH-system.
It represents a completely new segment of the market that AM are trying to get invoved in.
As of yet there is no confirmation that the rapide will go into production. AM could easily and cheaply tool up to produce it though.
If you were a member of the Aston Martin owners club you would know this.
The vanquish will be phased out in america by the end of this year and phased out alltogether by the end of 2007.
It is unlikely that the new DBS will be ready till around 2008 at the earlyest.
Dont make big comments that you cant substanciate.
