# Aston Martin

British luxury sports car manufacturer synonymous with James Bond, handcrafted performance, and a history of financial near-death experiences.

## 历史时间线

- 1913: Lionel Martin and Robert Bamford found Aston Martin in London
- 1964: Goldfinger — Aston Martin DB5 becomes Bond's iconic car
- 1987: Ford acquires 75% stake
- 2007: Prodrive consortium buys back from Ford for £479M
- 2018: IPO on London Stock Exchange
- 2020: Lawrence Stroll-led consortium invests £180M; takes 16.7% stake
- 2023: Mercedes-AMG becomes technical partner for powertrains; 6,500+ cars sold annually

## 商业模式

Handcrafted luxury sports cars and GTs sold through global dealer network. Revenue from vehicle sales, personalization/accessories, and brand licensing (merchandise, Bond films). DBX SUV now accounts for 50%+ of volume — critical profitability driver. AMG partnership supplies V8 engines.

## 护城河分析

Bond association provides priceless cultural cachet; handcrafted British heritage appeals to ultra-luxury buyers; DBX SUV opens addressable market beyond traditional sports car buyers; limited production maintains exclusivity (vs Ferrari's 13K/year).

## 关键数据

- annual_production: ~6,500
- dbx_share: 50%+ of volume
- market_cap: ~£1B (AIM)
- dealers: 200+ worldwide
- key_partner: Mercedes-AMG (powertrains)

## 有趣事实

Aston Martin has gone bankrupt 7 times in its 110-year history. The DB5 from Goldfinger was destroyed in filming, then rebuilt — the original 'Bond car' sold at auction in 2019 for £4.7M. Today, the DBX SUV (Aston Martin's first SUV) generates half of all revenue.
