| Helicopter lifts Aston Vanquish to 1000ft - pics, video Posted: 18 Jan 2013 09:01 AM PST  Dramatic stunt is the latest event undertaken to celebrate Aston Martin's centenary Aston Martin has celebrated its centenary with the spectacular stunt of using a helicopter to lift a Vanquish on to the top of Dubai's Burj Al Arab hotel. The helipad on top of the sail-shaped hotel is 1000ft above sea level, and it is the first time a car has ever been placed on the helipad. The stunt is part of Aston's centenary celebrations, which kicked off on Tuesday with the unveiling of a plaque in Chelsea at the location where the company was first formed as Bamford & Martin. Special centenary editions of Aston's entire model range have also been made available, while model launches — including a revised Rapide and Vanquish Volante — are expected over the next 12 months. |
