Aston Martin
Aston Martin was founded in 1913 in London by Lionel Martin and Robert Bamford. The British manufacturer operates its primary headquarters and sports car production facility in Gaydon, Warwickshire, while assembling its SUV line in St Athan, Wales. The company's identity was largely shaped during the tenure of industrialist Sir David Brown - whose initials still designate the "DB" model series - and was cemented globally after the DB5 featured in the 1964 James Bond film Goldfinger.

Facts
The two front electric motors enable active torque distribution between the left and right front wheels.
The hybrid system uses three electric motors, including two independent motors driving the front wheels.
The Valhalla’s combustion engine alone produces 828 PS, equal to roughly 207 PS per litre.
The Valhalla’s 4.0-litre V8 is Aston Martin’s first series-production engine to use a flat-plane crankshaft.
The Valhalla hybrid powertrain produces a combined 1,079 PS and 1,100 Nm.
The One-77 used a naturally aspirated 7.3-litre V12, then the largest road-car engine offered by Aston Martin.
The One-77 is built around a carbon-fibre monocoque designed as a light and very rigid structural core.
The DBX707 uses a shorter 3.27 final-drive ratio instead of the standard DBX’s 3.07 ratio, sharpening powertrain response.
