Cold Start. Why do so many Aston Martins have names beginning with a 'V'?

Vanquish, Vantage, Virage, Valhalla, Valkyrie, Vulcan. All these names have two things in common. First, all are synonymous with British Aston Martin models; secondly, all these names begin with 'V'.

Now, of course, the choice of names beginning with 'V' by Aston Martin to name several of its models is not a coincidence and Carfection decided to look into the matter in one of its videos.

Thus, we found that just as (practically) all Lotus identified with a name start with the letter 'E', Aston Martin has several models whose name starts with the letter 'V' because this represents, according to the brand, the pinnacle of its class.

In the video we get to know the meanings behind the names starting with a 'V' such as Vulcan (a tribute to a British plane and a figure from Roman mythology), Vantage (a name that dates back to the 50s and is synonymous with “superiority in a certain context”) to the most recent Valkyrie.
