Road Test

Aston Martin DB7 (94-) Coupe 2dr

Test date 19 October 1994  Price as tested £79,323

Aston has waited a long time for a car that offers performance, sophistication and pedigree at a realistic price. Now, the waiting is over. The bottom line is this: the fragile future of Britain’s most distinguished marque is in the hands of this car, the Aston Martin DB7.

Succeed, and the old firm will build more cars and make more money than at any time in its heroically troubled 75 years. Fail, and few would bet on its parent, Ford, to find the patience and money to fund an all-new replacement. The gates at Newport Pagnell could just shut for good.
