"2013 was quite a year for Aston Martin. It also happened to be the 100th anniversary of the iconic British brand. To mark the end of the centenary festivities, Aston has released a new video that looks back on all the cool stuff they did this past year. To kick off the year, a Vanquish was airlifted to the top of the Burj Al Arab hotel in Dubai. The reasoning behind the event seemed to be because it could be done, and it was a neat thing to do.

The CC100 then led a parade lap of more than 100 Astons around the Nordschleife, which included a One-77, the Skyfall DB5, and a DBR1 driven by Sterling Moss. Among the many star-studded red carpet galas and enthusiast gatherings, it was probably the signing of a new engine deal with Mercedes-Benz AMG that was the most important event of the year for Aston. It was the beginning of a crucial partnership for Aston and one that could ensure it will be around for another 100 years.      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
