Aston Martin Confirms Next-Generation Platform Development

British marque Aston Martin has confirmed development of an all-new platform to underpin its next generation of luxury supercars.

The news was revealed in an announcement this week of a 13 percent increase in revenue in 2013, the brand’s centennial year, with around 4200 sales globally.

Details of the new platform were not revealed, however, with Aston Martin executive Hanno Kirner confirming only that it would be a “completely new architecture”.

"We are engineering a completely new architecture and technologies to ensure that our next generation of sports cars is at the forefront of design, performance and technology,” Kirner said.

“We will, in the next few years, be implementing the biggest investment program in our 101-year history, preparing the ground for new and exciting products in the future."
