Aston Martin

Aston Martin is a British sportscar manufacturer founded in 1913 by Lionel Martin. He named the company after himself and the Aston Clinton Hillclimb where an early car of his had some success.
The company has changed ownership many times throughout its history. At one point it was owned by David Brown, who did built tractors. He then decides to put his mark on the cars, as this is the reason why most of the cars bear the "DB" prefix, being Brown's initials. Aston Martin is now owned by a consortium, having previously been owned by Ford.
They are well-known for being featured in Ian Fleming's "James Bond" series of films, notably the DB5 and the Vanquish.
Aston Martins have been featured in the mainline Gran Turismo games, except for Gran Turismo PSP. The company even has their own dedicated event in Gran Turismo 4.

== Trivia==
*The theme music for the Aston Martin dealership in the NTSC-J version of GT1 is "Take Your Dream On", which would be subsequently remixed as one of the menu themes in GT4.
*A thumbnail for a DB9 Volante (a variant not featured in the game) can be found in GT5's data files; however, it is not located with the thumbnail data with the rest of the game's cars (used or not), but instead as part of leftovers for a wedding scene (possibly used for internal/staff use) that also features the Ferrari 599 '06 and the Mazda Eunos Roadster (NA Special Package) '89 with celebratory parts added.Gran Turismo 5/Graphics on The Cutting Room Floor - A Wedding?
