With understatement, high-class individuality, and conservative reliability, the Aston Martin takes its place among the ranks of the most exclusive sports cars. Only an illustrated book of the highest quality can do justice to the charm and elegance of this exclusive British car, making this volume an absolute must-have for every Aston Martin fan. Aston Martin is a feast for the eyes in the truest sense of the word. Lavishly illustrated with more than 400 color photographs, which were shot especially for this book, it covers the entire history of this automobile — a history full of passion. With 312 pages and an abundance of information, the exciting text consolidates the total picture.

In the galaxy of automobile makers, the star in Stuttgart shines brightly. Arising from the accumulation of technology, design, and sports, a firm was created in 1886 whose economic force has made it a player of international significance. The concise and compelling texts shed light on manifold aspects of Mercedes history, from engineering to the economic-political power exerted by this world-wide concern. Throughout the book, naturally, one thing stands out: the vehicle itself. Rainer W. Schlegelmilch's photographs veritably pay homage to the embodiment of the German dream car. The revised edition presents the long series of models in chronological order.
