Aston Martin has reported a 79% uplift in revenues and a near-halving of its pre-tax losses ahead of the arrival of the world’s most powerful SUV and a new V12 Vantage coupe.

The British performance and luxury car maker revealed in annual financial results statements issued today (February 23) that its revenues had reached £1.1 billion last year as wholesale deliveries rose 82% to 6,178 vehicles.

Operating losses before tax declined 54% to £213.8m in the period, with the brand also claiming that it had delivered “a successfully completed rebalancing of dealer inventory” in the period.

Sales were 35% up in the UK, at 1,109, during 2021.

Now the business is targeting 8% volume growth in 2022 with the help of the arrival of the 707PS DBX707 - billed as the world’s most powerful SUV - and a new Vantage V12 coupe to its line-up.
