Aston Martin is one of the world's most exclusive and highly regarded sportscar makers. Independently owned since 2007, Aston Martin built its first car in 1913. All of the company's products are highly desirable, including the entry-level model, the Aston Martin V8 Vantage which is also available as the V8 Vantage Roadster and now as the V12 Vantage too.
The DBS is the most costly mainstream model, which replaced the V12 Vanquish, while in the middle of the range is the DB9, in coupé and convertible forms. The newest model is the four-door Aston Martin Rapide, saloon, built to compete with the Porsche Panamera.
