Brèves de passion - NEW
The small V8 Vantage was a success. Rough and compact without losing the elegance and distinction characteristic of an Aston Martin, fast without forgetting good manners, it added a touch of modernity that had long been lacking in the firm as well as an assertive sporting temperament on demand. Driving pleasure as well as unprecedented commercial success for Aston Martin will be there.

Some cars are not made to go fast. They are made to stand the test of time. Classic cars don't have to be owned: they respect each other. We welcome them as we welcome a heritage. Because what they represent goes far beyond their silhouette or their mechanics: they are works of art in motion, witnesses of an era, living fragments of our automotive heritage.
There are engines that you don't forget. Mechanics whose melody resonates far beyond the road. At Lamborghini, the naturally aspirated V10 is one of them. Born with the Gallardo in 2003, extended by the Audi R8 in 2009, then enhanced with the Huracan in 2014, this iconic block has accompanied more than twenty years of automotive passion. Today is the end of a cycle. And for its last dance, Huracan is bowing out with an ultimate version: the STJ.
It all starts with a simple trip. We are in 2004. At the age of nine, Samuel Lelarge took a seat in an exceptional car. At his side, Frédéric Lasnier, a passionate collector. A moment that seems trivial, but which will become a founder. The sound of the engine, the sculpted lines of the body, the unique aura of this car... A revelation. That day, a passion was born. And with it, an idea: to make the car much more than a business of engines. Make it an art of living.
