Is Aston Martin in Peril?

Acquired by Ford in 2007, Aston Martin is now partly owned by a Kuwaiti investment firm, which is experiencing financial difficulties.

As owner of 51% of Aston Martin, Investment Dar has been treading in troubled waters since the beginning of the economic crisis, reports England’s Autocar magazine.

While they are trying to reassure stockholders, the firm has reported difficulties with reimbursing over 3 billion dollars to the central bank of Kuwait.

Shareholders and other investors have agreed to suspend their claims in the meantime, in order to allow the group to restructure and become viable.

Aston Martin is confident that the introduction of the Rapide 4-door sedan will play an essential role in sustaining the auto manufacturer.
