Known worldwide for their luxurious, elegant models, the name \u2018Aston Martin\u2019 was first formed in 1914 and the company has come a long way since their first \u2018Coal Scuttle\u2019.Power, Beauty and Soul runs through everything they do and arguably their most beautiful creation is the DB5, made famous by its role in James Bond \u2018Goldfinger\u2019.2001 was a landmark year as they produced their 5000th DB7 and launched the V12 Vanquish. This was a technological highlight for the company and their creation was once again snatched up by the guys behind the Bond movies, this time to be driven by Mr Brosnan in \u2018Die Another Day\u2019.Not long after this, they hit a total of 30,000 production cars in total, not bad for an operation that originally started out with just two men in a small workshop in London!Since 1922, Aston Martin have been breaking records and winning prizes on the track internationally with their exceptional high-performance sports cars; their DB3S was the class winner at Le Mans three times in a row from 1955. 2005 marked the return to racing for the marquee and not long after this 6 of their cars made it to the end of the 75th Le Mans 24 hours.Their dedication to ensuring all vehicles are engineered to the highest possible standard, with designs that never fail to impress, has made Aston Martin one of the most desired brands in the world\u00a0and we just can\u2019t get enough of their whole range."},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Blog","item":"https:\/\/smart-motoring.com\/blog\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Simply Aston Martin","item":"https:\/\/smart-motoring.com\/blog\/simply-aston-martin\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
