History of the 1994-2004 Aston Martin DB7 The first Aston Martin produced by the company under full Ford ownership was the DB7 in 1993. The DB7 was initially available as a coupe, and was intended to be a more achievable model in comparison to the hand-built Virage. Achievable is relative, of course, as the DB7 coupe cost $140,000. Still, Ford’s mass market aspirations were realized as approximately 7,000 DB7s were built from 1993 to 2004, making it the most prolific model Aston ever made. In fact, Aston acquired a factory in Bloxham, Oxfordshire, in order to handle demand. Despite its production numbers, however, the DB7 was anything but pedestrian. Its sinewy styling, courtesy of Ian Callum, was a great departure from Aston Martin designs of the previous two decades.

    AUTO INDUSTRY A Digital Marketing Perspective Innovative strategies for segmenting and targeting auto audiences Introduction 2017 has seen mixed results for the automotive industry in the UK. Manufacturers and dealers are dealing with a weakening pound and declining consumer confidence, coupled with changing customer preferences and policies. This has compounded into the following market shifts: - New car sales have cooled down after 5 years of strong growth, with Q2 seeing the largest quarterly fall in more than 6 years of 10.3%. - In contrast, used car sales have risen steadily by 3.4% over Q1, and expected to take share from new car sales over the second half of the year. - Coupled with the government’s decision to ban diesel vehicles by 2040 and growing health concerns, diesel car sales have dipped by 15% in June. - Consumers, instead, are rapidly adopting environmental and efficient vehicle options, with electric and hybrid car registrations increasing by over 30% in June year-on-year. (Source: SMMT 2017) Automotive Report Page 2 Consumers have also become highly sophisticated with their research and buying cycles. According to Luth Research, a typical car buyer has 900 digital interactions over three months before purchase. In order to target these evolving channels, marketers are shifting away from traditional mediums (with the exception of TV), and investing more in targeted digital advertising and search marketing strategies. Marketers in the automotive industry are now faced with the following challenges: - Determining which channels reap the highest ROI for brand building and targeting - Segmenting audiences with precision at the various stages of the customer’s journey - Transforming online prospects into offline buyers through targeted and trackable means In this report, we look at key tactics for manufacturers to identify and target high prospect audiences online.

Winning at Le Mans, victory in the World Sportscar Championship, the Zagatos and Royal patronage would be enough for any car manufacturer.

    UVA-S-DRAFT For internal use only - July 2017 Aston Martin – The Crossover Conundrum In crisis periods, such as the one we survived in 2008 and 2009, first and foremost you need strong leadership and judgement. -Ulrich Bez, CEO & Chairman, Aston Martin In March 2009, Ulrich Bez, CEO of legendary British carmaker Aston Martin Lagonda Limited (Aston Martin), found himself grappling with some tough news he received from Switzerland. The company had just debuted a novel car concept, its first crossover1 model under its rarely used historic “Lagonda” brand, at the Geneva Motor Show, but the negative press criticizing the four-wheel drive, four-seater car’s design and concept were troubling and unexpected for Bez. One popular industry blog went so far as to mock the model car’s visual identity: “These first images of the Lagonda caused a collective sigh from [us] here in Geneva, perhaps largely because it takes the form of a crossover – something we weren't really expecting (and something we don't typically associate with either Lagonda or Aston)… Aston wanted an outlet to expand beyond sports car and GTs2…and the Lagonda's designers took that mandate and ran with it – some might say into a bluff-faced wall.”3 Before the Motor Show’s reveal, Bez was highly optimistic about the future of the crossover model. In fact, he was projecting “a strong presence in 100 territories, vastly increasing the global brand reach of the company and extending to new customers”4 in Russia, the Middle East, South America, India and China, while 1 A crossover, or CUV, is a vehicle that combines features of both a Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV) with a passenger vehicle.

The £1.8 million facility was officially unveiled earlier this year, but has been working and developing for some two years. It is centred on two Matsuura MAM72-35V 5-axis machining centres and a Takisawa TPS-3100S piston lathe. You may not know MCT well, but you will almost certainly have heard of it in a former incarnation – TWR. MCT is the ex-manufacturing and racing arms of TWR, which was purchased by Forbes-listed American John Menard (see box item, page 21) in 2003. As MCT manufacturing manager Nigel Eames explains, the MCT project team – as a “ghost partner” in engine design and build – came to the notice of John Menard when it was supplying engines to a competing Indy Racing League series team. Impressed with the engine’s performance, Mr Menard MCT managing director Charlie Bamber: inhouse piston manufacture has been a signficant investment from a time perspective but the technology and quality that we are now able ● to offer are second to none June 2007 www.machinery.co.uk 18 MCT.qxd 30/5/07 1:58 pm Page 19 COVER STORY subsequently purchased key elements of Europe, spearheaded by Iain Graham.
