Beautiful design and unparalleled attention to detail are central to the company’s ethos of Power, Beauty and Soul, with perfectly proportioned, flowing bodywork and cosseting interiors that epitomise the marriage of form, function and materials. An Aston Martin combines power and sporting ability with refinement, luxury and exceptional beauty.

Beautiful design and unparalleled attention to detail are central to the company’s ethos of Power, Beauty and Soul, with perfectly proportioned, flowing bodywork and cosseting interiors that epitomise the marriage of form, function and materials. An Aston Martin combines power and sporting ability with refinement, luxury and exceptional beauty. Every Aston Martin expresses the core values of Power, Beauty and Soul, from the Aston Martin V8 Vantage range to the V12 DB9 range and the exciting new DBS. Bodywork is taut and poised, with strong muscular surfaces that are instantly recognisable, underpinned by the unique VH (Vertical Horizontal) platform architecture of bonded and extruded aluminium, providing exceptional manufacturing flexibility. ‘VH allows us to maintain the form, language and soul of the product’, says Dr Ulrich Bez, ‘Aston Martin should always be about the design and about the proportions.’ Dr Ulrich Bez, CEO of Aston Martin since July 2000, has personally overseen every aspect of Aston Martin’s new generation products, which are all hand-built at a striking new HQ and manufacturing facility at Gaydon, Warwickshire, England.
