For true car aficionados, the collaboration between Aston Martin and award-winning automotive photographer René Staud is a match made in heaven. Both share a passion for exclusive sports cars and a keen eye for aesthetics. Aston Martin's journey began 110 years ago, with the brand rising to prominence in 1947 under David Brown, known for legendary models bearing his initials. With a rich history in racing—from victories at the Aston Hill Climb in 1914 to Le Mans in 1959 and entry into Formula 1 in 2021—Aston Martin continues to create road-going racing cars. Beyond performance, the brand’s elegant design and luxurious comfort have made it a symbol of British understatement, with none other than James Bond driving an Aston since 1964. René Staud, famed for capturing luxury cars in perfect light, adds his iconic touch to this beautifully updated edition of The Aston Martin Book. Featuring stunning photographs and inspiring texts, it immerses readers in the world of Aston Martin.
