Aston Martin is currently owned by a group of shareholders, including majority stakes from several companies and investors:

• Lawrence Stroll: This Canadian billionaire and automotive investor is one of Aston Martin's major shareholders. Stroll acquired a significant stake in 2020 through the Yew Tree consortium, which he heads, in order to support the brand financially and guide its development.

• Mercedes-Benz Group AG: Mercedes owns around 20% of Aston Martin. This shareholding gives Aston Martin access to Mercedes technologies, notably in engines and electronic components, a partnership essential for its modern models.

• Other investors: Aston Martin is also listed on the London Stock Exchange, which means that it has several other institutional and private shareholders who hold shares in the company.

Aston Martin thus maintains a shared ownership structure, supported by a mix of private investors, automotive groups and stock market shareholders.

Aston Martin uses different engines in its models, depending on the car and its desired performance.

The most common engines:

1. V8 twin-turbo engine :

• This engine powers several models, including the Vantage and DBX.
• It is supplied by Mercedes-AMG, a strategic partner of Aston Martin.

1. Atmospheric or twin-turbo V12 engine:

• This powerful engine is reserved for top-of-the-range models such as the DB11 or DBS Superleggera.
• It is designed and built in-house by Aston Martin, inheriting years of artisanal expertise.

The DB5 is undoubtedly the brand's most emblematic model, thanks to its timeless design and its reputation as “James Bond's car”. However, other models such as the DBS, the Vanquish and the V8 Vantage have also marked Aston Martin's history with their performance and elegance. Each model brings its own charm and character, allowing buyers to choose the one that best suits their tastes and driving style.

Before buying an Aston Martin, here are the essential points to check to ensure a good investment:

History and Maintenance

• Service history: A full service history, preferably carried out at Aston Martin or a specialist workshop, is essential.
• Repair invoices: Ask for invoices to validate major overhauls and regular maintenance.

Mechanics and engine

• Engine: Check that it starts smoothly and runs without abnormal noises. Watch out for oil leaks, especially on older models.
• Gearbox: Test the automatic or manual gearbox to ensure that gear changes are smooth and seamless, as repairs can be costly.
• Brakes: Make sure the brakes are in good condition, without vibration or squealing.

Electronics and equipment

• Electronic systems: Test the navigation system, air conditioning and other equipment. Late-model Aston Martins are well equipped, and electronic repairs can be expensive.
• Warning lights: No warning lights should be left on the dashboard.

Bodywork and paintwork

• Paintwork and panel alignment: Check for paint defects or signs of repair, which could indicate an accident.
• Corrosion: Inspect rust-prone areas, especially on older models (although aluminum limits the risk).

Interior and Finishes

• Seat condition and materials: Excessive wear on seats, especially leather, and controls may indicate high mileage.
• Closure and operation of components: Test windows, mirrors and interior controls for possible malfunctions.

Road test

• Road behaviour: The Aston Martin should be stable, with precise steering and good throttle response.
• Suspension: Listen for any noises in the suspension.
