Last but not least, the Vulcan. A £1.8 million track-only hyper-car of which only 24 will be built. Still very much a prototype, no interior at all and all future carbon parts still shiny black plastic. But impressive none the less.
Like most peeps of the interwebs, I wasn’t sure about this one. However, after seeing it in the flesh and talking with the Aston people, I absolutely love what Aston Martin is doing here.
Next to the 3 cars in the main area, the Aston Martin stand at Geneva also had the Lagonda Taraf, tucked away in a special area. I must say it looked better in person, but I am still not 100% sure about the looks of this one. But I wasn’t in the market for a 4-door Aston anyway 🙂
Easily my favorite car at the Geneva Show, the new Vantage GT3. A street legal track beast, based on the V12 Vantage S. Limited to 100 units and already sold out!
As you’ve probably seen on our Facebook page, I have visited the Geneva Motor Show earlier this week. Obviously, I spent most of my time at the Aston Martin stand, making lots of pictures. In the meantime, I have made a selection of the best photos and will post them in the next couple of days, car by car.
The BIG5 track day at Spa Franchorchamps is one of the most popular BIG5 events, so participants are distributed are two days, the Monday and the Tuesday. I was driving on the Monday. However, during my track-day, I heard that there would be 4 One-77’s participating on Tuesday, maybe even 5! So on Tuesday, before I drove home to Amsterdam, I went back to the track, to see if I could snap some pics of the One-77’s. I was able to make some quick photo’s in the pit lane, but did not have enough time to make real work of it. Luckily, my friends Alexander van Boekholdt en Paulien Aerts were there the entire day AND were so friendly to allow me to use some of their great photos. Thank you!
I love driving my V12 Vantage on the track. And I am proud to say, I’m slowly getting better at it too 🙂 Last week at the BIG 5 track event, I was able to do about 40 laps around my favorite circuit, Spa Franchorchamps. Here’s one of my laps, filmed by my friend Mark with his phone while in the passenger seat. It’s a bit shaky, but I think it gives a good impression of what it’s like to drive a V12 Vantage around this beautiful track. Enjoy:
Yesterday I posted my pit lane pictures for this week’s event at Spa. Now here’s some action pictures of Astons driving on the track. Most picture taken by me, except for the ones that show me and Red on the track, which are taken by my wife Sytske.
This Monday and Tuesday my favourite Aston Martin Big 5 event was held again: the track days at Spa Francorchamps. I had signed up for the Monday, so I spent most of the Monday doing my rounds of the track, of course in my favourite track beast, the red V12 Vantage. However, I did find the time to make a lot of picture too. Here’s my selection of photos taken in the pit lane.
This weekend we organized another edition of the 2-monthly Sunday Drive for the Dutch Power Beauty Soulmates. This time, we created a nice route through Brabant, the mid-southern part of the Netherlands, taking us over beautiful roads and through many nice villages.
