Brand History
In 2010, Aston Martin was experiencing a remarkable sporting renaissance. After financial difficulties in the 1990s and acquisition by Ford, the British brand reclaimed its nobility under the impulse of new passionate investors.
Founded in 1913 by Lionel Martin and Robert Bamford, Aston Martin had always cultivated the marriage of luxury and performance. Success in endurance in the 1950s and the legendary association with James Bond forged its international reputation. In 2010, this prestigious heritage combined with modern technologies to create exceptional machines.
The Aston Martin Racing division, relaunched in 2004, relied on this rich history to develop competitive race cars. This strategy allowed the brand to demonstrate its technical capabilities while fueling interest in its road models.

The 2010 edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans will be remembered for the intensity of the battle in the GTE Pro category. The V8 Vantage number 92 particularly shone during the night hours, a mythical moment of the Sarthe event where drivers confront darkness and fatigue.
This Aston Martin delivered an epic duel with the Ferrari 458 and Porsche 911 RSR, offering spectators spectacular overtakes on the Sarthe circuit. The yellow and gray livery made it easily identifiable in the night, creating a striking contrast under the glare of the headlights.
The drivers of this V8 Vantage demonstrated all the British class in the race, blending aggression and elegance in their maneuvers. Their performance that year helped establish Aston Martin's reputation as a manufacturer capable of competing with the greatest brands in endurance.

Frequently Asked Questions
How to understand the scales of miniatures?
Scale indicates the reduction ratio between the real car and the miniature. For example, at 1:43 scale, each centimeter on the miniature corresponds to 43 centimeters on the real vehicle.
Concretely, a 1/18 scale Ferrari model is approximately 25-30 cm long, while in 1/43 scale it measures approximately 10 cm.
What scales are available?
Our model cars are mainly offered in 1/43, 1/24, 1/18 and 1/87 (HO) scales. The scale is always indicated in the product sheet.
The smaller the second number, the larger the model car (e.g. 1/18 is larger than 1/43).
