Italian private equity group Investindustrial has become a major shareholder in Aston Martin. Investindustrial, which used to own Ducati, won the bid ahead of Indian automaker Mahindra and Mahindra.
The deal will see Investindustrial putting £150 million (RM735 million) in AM in the form of a capital increase for a 37.5% stake in the company.
Aston Martin, currently owned by Kuwait’s The Investment Dar, said it intends to invest more than half a billion pounds in its new product and technology programme over the next five years. Production is set to remain at the luxury British marque’s global headquarters at Gaydon, Warwickshire, where it has a workforce of 1,600 employees.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
If Proton was successful.. they could have owned not just Lotus…
If proton owns AM, ppl bising waste taxpayer money for cronies n minister to buy cheap AM
100% british beef.
Many of us are intelligent enough to differentiate good vs bad.
All AM cars are cantiq.
Like Mercedes, all AM cars have low RV, in case someone wants to mention it, but we just want these cars because we can afford.
how can you compare aston and mercedes, is it because you drive a merc. mercedes RV is only second to jap cars. infact if you wanted to buy a car that doesnt have a japanese badge and has decent RV then mercedes is one of the few choices you have thats why uncles usually upgrade from camry to merc. Aston on the other hand even by supercar standards (ferrari lamborghini) has quite low RV. but cars like these is about the heart not the brain.
wow those Brits are good in selling their things..all sold to outsiders..good ah you guys
agreed. car manufcturing oso like football club, buy n sell buy n sell and some ppl make money on the air.
The Brits are very good at selling things, because they are bankrap country. Soon they might sell the Queen and Kate Middletong to China also.
