Aston Martin

The Aston Martin Rapide is once again the leading luxury class car in Switzerland, for the third consecutive year. The English exotic won the vote in “The Best cars of 2012”, crowned by “Auto Illustrierte”. View our own fleet of Aston Martin rentals here!

James Bond may be a fictional character, but there is nothing fake about the onslaught of Bond cars going on display this year! The largest collection of James Bond cars ever to be displayed will roll out secret agent style in just a few months, so if you are a fan, snag that Aston Martin rental and be prepared!

The 2010 Aston Martin On Ice winter driving course was truly something remarkable! It was the 2nd year for the cool event, following positive feedback from the 1st year. Warning: After viewing the clip below, you will feel a shiver of jealousy inch up your spine! This reminds me of the Ferrari Winter Driving School, equally awesome!

We all know that Facebook is extremely addictive, but Aston Martin has taken social networking to extremes by developing a special car to celebrate the fact that it has a million fans on Facebook. Yes, I am serious. While we are on the subject, like Imagine Lifestyles on Facebook...end shameless self-promotion.

The Facebook DB9 will be built around March

A lucky Texan can now blend Beatle-mania with his James Bond side—he just bought the Aston Martin DB5 owned by George Harrison, lead guitarist for the Beatles! The specimen earned $546,000 on the luxury car auction block in London when it changed hands for the 4th time.

Aston Martin has announced the launch of its tiniest member, the Cygnet, in Japan and Hong Kong. While many scoff at the diminutive dimensions of the Cygnet, it may be quite appealing in Japan and Hong Kong as a welcome solution to overcrowded streets and parking structures! I bet they are hoping Aston Martin Cygnet sales fare better in this market than they did in other parts of the world!

The new Aston Martin Bulldog GT luxury car concept has emerged, unleashing a devilish 666 barking dogs. Developed by Danish design firm HBH, the Bulldog GT is all about increasing power while maintaining that seemingly never-changing Aston Martin appearance.

Traffic jams…hated by all…unless, of course, you find yourself confronted head-on by a gathering of supercars jammed together!  This scenario is not so bad. The video below shows around 150 exotic cars caught leaving Gurston House in England following…you guessed it…a supercar convoy! Video at bottom of post

There are so many brands represented, that it is similar to browsing through one of our luxury car rental locations!

The fellas at Top Gear, Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May have been at it again--this time comparing the current 4-door offerings from Maserati, Porsche and Aston Martin. You can drive 2 of the 3 and do a bit of road testing of your own with the Quattroporte and the Panamera, both are included in our luxury rental car fleet. Top Gear video at bottom of post!

With millions of people taking advantage of the opportunity to put themselves out there on YouTube, it was only a matter of time before authorities caught on! The owner of a rare Aston Martin made the decision to broadcast himself driving 182 miles per hour in his luxury sports car; a decision he hoped would attract fan chatter or praise. Instead, it attracted the attention of local Belgium authorities, who are attempting to bring charges!

Luxury carmaker Aston Martin is celebrating a milestone—no, not the creation of an all-new hybrid hoover-craft, just reaching 1 million fans on social-networking site Facebook. This leaves many to wonder…so what?

Facebook has become far more powerful than anyone had previously anticipated, now incorporated into marketing endeavors and more. For example, you can follow us on Imagine Lifestyles Facebook for real-time updates on your favorite models and available exotic car driving experiences. Enough shameless self-promotion…but is that not what Facebook is for? Back to the numbers game.

The first weekend of the Imagine Lifestyles Chicago track experience attracted thousands of exotic sports car fans and drivers! This accelerated event took place last weekend in Joliet, IL at the Auto house Speedway, where drivers and fans took advantage of a special offer to drive a supercar for just $159 USD!

It is natural to laugh under extreme duress, but surfboard designer Roberto Ricci seemed somewhat thoughtless about the fact that his act of foolishness led to the destruction of an Aston Martin Rapide! What is that act of stupidity committed, you ask? (Video at bottom of post!)

Halloween happens to be my favorite holiday (along with millions of others), so I spent some time thinking about the ultimate costume accessory and decided a luxury car rental would trump the ensembles of all of my friends. Why not add some healthy competition to your holiday?

Here are the top 5 quirky celebrity Halloween costume ideas and their complimentary luxury rental car counterparts!

I typically only approve of an orange paint job on F1 racing cars or the occasional oddball exotic car, but I must say that this orange Aston Martin seems to pull it off without making my eyes bleed. With an exotic car like an Aston Martin, it can be difficult to really stand out because these are cars designed to display sophistication and tend to be a bit on the understated side. This owner seems to scream for attention like a holiday goul, you cannot unsee this car!

What do you think as you watch this odd orange Aston lap the track? Is the Aston Martin clad for Halloween, or does it manage to rock the pumpkin shell? Comment below!
