The Most Expensive Aston Martin Models Out Right Now

Aston Martin Celebrates Its 100th Anniversary

Aston Martin Lagonda Limited is one of the premier British manufacturers of luxury sports cars and grand tourers in the world. Founded in 1913 by Lionel Martin and Robert Bamford, Aston Martin became associated with luxury grand touring cars in the 1950s and 1960s and is known worldwide for its legendary partnership with the fictional character James Bond, who drove a DB5 model in the 1964 film Goldfinger. The company filed for bankruptcy in the 1970s, but has also experienced long periods of financial growth–most notably under the ownership of the Ford Motor Company from 1994 to 2007. Headquartered in Warwickshire, England, Aston Martin had topped the £500 million ($821.2 million) sales mark earlier this year.
