The new Aston Martin Vanquish supercar made its appearance at a star-spangled reception hosted by Ambassador Tim Barrow who said: “Aston Martin is an internationally famous British brand. To remind you, James Bond drove the legendary DB5 model. Aston Martin is also therefore a great example of high quality, reliability, historical heritage and innovation.”

With the use of carbon fibre today we have greater freedom in creating new designs.” Among the guests at the event were Managing Partner of “BUREVESTNIK GROUP” Andrey Boiko, Commercial Director of Villagio Estate Pavel Treivas,Modern Art Painter artist Daniil Fedorov, actress Yekaterina Drobysh, Theater Director Andrey Zhitinkin, Accessories Designer Violetta Litvinova, Miss Earth 2012 Natalia Pereverzeva and others.
