Aston Martin Bulldog

The DeLoreana DMC-12 became planetarily popular thanks to the movie “Back to the Future.” But another car was an alternative to the DeLorean and was to appear as a vehicle that Marty McFly and Emmett Brown would use in the film. It’s an Aston Martin Bulldog.

The Aston Martin Bulldog was created 43 years ago and fits perfectly into current concepts. The car has been completely restored and was presented at this year’s Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este exhibition where it won the Coppa d’Oro award. The most attention was drawn to the massive gullwing door, while its interior is adorned with brown leather and a new digital cluster.

The 1979 model is powered by a 5.3L twin-turbocharged V8 engine with 600 hp (441 kW) and 500 lb-ft (678 Nm) of torque. At one time it was one of the fastest production cars in the world. Reaches 62 mph in 4.1 seconds with a top speed of 162 mph (261 km / h), although the fastest speed the car was recorded doing 191 mph (307 km / h) during a test run at the Motor Industry Research Association track in late 1979.

The Bulldog is owned by collector Phillip Sarofim and restored by the British company Classic Motor Cars.

Aston Martin V12 Vantage Has Come To An End

Aston Martin has announced the strongest but, unfortunately, also its last V12 Vantage. This was confirmed by Aston Martin CEO Tobias Moers who said: “Now it is time to bring this bloodline to a close, fittingly with the most spectacular example yet – the fastest, most powerful and most dynamically capable V12 Vantage ever.”

The new Aston Martin Vantage will be powered by a 6.0 twinturbo V12 engine with 690 hp (507 kW) and 555 lb-ft (753 Nm) of torque, which is 20 percent more than the V8 model. It will reach 62 mph in 3.5 seconds with a top speed of 200 mph (322 km / h). It is mounted on 21-inch wheels wrapped in 275/35 (front) and 315/30 (rear) Michelin Pilot 4S tires.

The car was on a diet so the weight was reduced to more than an excellent 1795 kg. All this is achieved by the use of lightweight carbon parts such as carbon fenders, side sills, rear bumper, deck lid, centrally placed stainless steel exhaust. It is also equipped with adaptive suspension, new springs, composite brakes with 410 mm discs and six-piston calipers at the front, while at the rear there are 360 ​​mm discs with four-piston calipers.

Tobias Moers also said: “Every great sports car brand has a hero car. For Aston Martin in more recent years that car has been the V12 Vantage. Right from the moment the first V12 Vantage RS Concept was shown back in 2007 our customers and fans around the world fell in love with the idea of ​​fitting our biggest engine into our smallest and most sporting model. ”

It will be produced in only 333 copies, and the first cars should reach their owners at the end of the year.
