What Makes a Car “Exotic”?
Recently, a few of the Burbbble authors got into a debate over the definition of a word. It all started with an online article where the author referred to an Aston Martin V8 Vantage as an exotic car. They realized that there isn’t a strong definition for the word “exotic.” So they tried to find […]

An Aston In Driver’s Condition
8 When it comes to old cars, there are usually only two states of condition: rust bucket and concourse ready. The rust buckets are old barn finds that have been decayed by nested rats and acid rain and can’t move under their own power. The concourse cars are restored above and beyond factory spec, and […]

Aston Martin trades the open road for endless waves, Bond foils bad guys
::cck::833
::/introtext::
When he isn’t driving Aston Martins on the road, Mr. Bond, James Bond can usually be found travelling via the local waterways. Too bad Aston doesn’t make an elegantly styled water vessel. Or does it? Aston Martin designed a powerboat named the AM37 along with Quintessence Yachts, revealing it ahead of Milan Design Week.
Aston says the AM37 is “fusing the maritime and automotive worlds with the universal characteristics of style and elegance.” I can see the AM37 powerboat being featured in the next sans Daniel Craig James Bond movie, probably in a gunfight on Lake Como with James peppering bad guys with bullets while putting the moves on a pretty lady. They should have called it the AM007.
“It is true that a beautiful, simple shape is critical to a product’s success but it must also have drama, which is provided by surface language, proportions, and through the choice of exciting materials. The most important attribute for Aston Martin is the language of design and we have transferred this language into AM37. The new powerboat represents the ideal combination of luxurious and technical materials, generating a powerful yet understated finished product,” Marek Reichman, Aston Martin chief creative officer, said.

Aston Martin Reveals Manual V12 Vantage S
::cck::824
::/introtext::
Aston Martin said it will offer the V12 Vantage S with a 7-speed manual transmission for model year 2017, hailing it as the transmission of choice for enthusiasts who want the ultimate analog experience.
That’s the car with the company’s largest engine squeezed into its smallest car, now available with three pedals and a weird selector knob in the center console. The shift pattern has a dog-leg first gear, so those more fun gears are conveniently lined up. A driver selectable mode called AMSHIFT will automatically simulate a heel-toe downshift for those enthusiasts who are dedicated enough to get a manual transmission but don’t want to be bothered with learning how to properly use one.
“Broadening the scope of the V12 Vantage S with a manual transmission option is an indication of our desire to offer the keenest drivers a more analogue and immersive machine to enjoy. I’d like to take this opportunity to reiterate that the manual gearbox remains an integral part of our product plans and will do for many years to come,” Aston Martin CEO Dr. Andy Palmer said.
Both the 7-speed manual and Sportshift III automated manual will be offered alongside each other for the same price. Start pinching your pounds now.

Here is the first look at ‘New’ Top Gear
