After A Strong 2013, Aston Is Dragging Itself Into The 21st Century

2013 was a damn good year for Aston Martin, with revenue up 13 per cent to £519 million. That makes it a record 12 months for the British company, who has just announced a big investment programme to develop an entirely new platform.

This new platform receives engines and electronics developed by Mercedes, with Stuttgart having signed a technical agreement with Aston Martin last year. Mercedes has also hinted at further involvement with Aston Martin, so we wouldn't be surprised to see the German company having a large amount of input on the new platform.

With Aston's current range feeling its age, this all sounds like promising news.
