Aston Martin DNA unleashed at new St. Athan plant in the U.K.

Aston Martin has brought together 28 models worth $116 million in a film produced to celebrate the start of the redevelopment of its new St. Athan plant.



The Aston Martin Vulcan was the first car to turn a wheel at the site of the British luxury carmaker's second U.K. manufacturing plant at St. Athan in South Wales recently, signalling the start of the redevelopment of the former Ministry of Defence site into a state-of-the-art facility.

The appearance of the Aston Martin Vulcan was just the start of an incredible celebration of Aston Martin's heritage, which brought together 28 very special Aston Martins with a combined value of $116 million in a film produced to celebrate the transfer of ownership of the three super hangars at St. Athan.

The vast, empty hangars offered a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to showcase Aston Martin's 104-year history in the only way its drivers knew how. Aston Martin Racing's World Endurance Championship drivers Darren Turner and Nicki Thiim, along with Aston Martin Chief Engineer Matt Becker, had plenty of room to manoeuvre a stunning selection of Aston Martins. That is, until they got caught by the 'boss' - Aston Martin President and CEO Andy Palmer.
