Aston Martin – Sales 2012 Units Estimation: ~3500 vehicles
GAYDON-based Aston Martin, posted a pre-tax loss of almost £25m
(€-29, 25 Mio) for the year ended December 2012, up from a £21m (€-
24,75 Mio) loss the previous year. Sales were down by 9% to £460m (€-
538,2 Mio). Accounts filed at Companies House attribute the widening
loss to the "market segment (that) has been severely affected by
recession".
The 100-year old firm said that the high-end luxury sports segment had
been severely affected by recession and in 2012 global sales levels were
down by nearly 40% from its 2007 peak. The luxury sports car market may
well be down, and especially so in Europe, but that isn't the whole story.
In contrast, Ferrari, for example, posted record results in 2012, with its
best ever trading period in the company's 66-year history.

2013 Aston Martin changes into a new ownership structure
The point is that other luxury car brands have done well while Aston Martin has struggled of late. Part of that struggle is down to the
fact that the firm was heavy on debt after it was sold off by Ford. The cost of servicing this debt in turn impacted on new model
development. While some new models have been introduced, the technological underpinnings stretch back in some cases to some
quite dated Ford technology.
Put simply, Aston has fallen behind rivals.
Aston Martin was majority-owned during 2012 by Investment Dar (a Kuwaiti investment fund) but late last year InvestIndustrial agreed
to invest £150m (€175,5 Mio). in return for a 37.5% stake. Despite recent losses, Aston Martin's management is looking forward with
some optimism. In large part that is due to the recent announcement that the German premium car firm Daimler could take a stake in
locally-based Aston Martin after the latter signed an intention to enter a technical partnership with Mercedes-Benz.
Daimler - which owns Mercedes - will take an equity stake of up to 5% in Aston Martin if the agreement does go ahead. Both sides have
indicated that they hope to sign an agreement in the next few months. It's a much needed move for Aston which will continue to
struggle on its own to develop new cars and to source new technology. In particular, Mercedes will supply Aston Martin with engines. In
addition, Mercedes-Benz Cars will provide Aston Martin with components for future models. This is a welcome move. Aston Martin has
indicated that it intends to invest £500 million (€ 585 Mio) over the next four years. But in car industry terms that doesn't go very far at
all: JLR for example spent well over £400m (€ 468 Mio) just getting the new Range Rover to market. So Aston Martin needs a tie up with
a bigger player to access technology and components and Mercedes offers just that opportunity.

Jaguar Land Rover Sales Units 2013: 372 062 vehicles
LandRover refreshed its Range Rover in August 2012 and it
also launched the refreshed Range Rover Sport in April
2013. As is the case with model lifecycles, the older
versions of these two highly profitable models were losing
volumes, while incentive spends of them were rising.
Range Rover volumes have already revived as a result of
the refreshed version, while the Range Rover Sport has
also likely bottomed in 1QFY14. In the case of Jaguar, the
launch of the F-type has been very successful. Within two
quarters, the model has contributed 17% of Jaguar’s
volumes. The success of these models has resulted in an
improving sales mix and lower incentives, which has led to
the improvement in margins.

Maserati Sales Outlook 2013 ~ 14 000 vehicles
Harald Wester, Maserati’s CEO, told Reuters that the brand has
received around 17.000 orders so far this year. This number is almost 3
times higher than total units registered in 2012, which is not only
good, but is in line with Maserati’s goal of selling 50.000 by the year
2015.
This brand is one of the pillars for the future of Italian car output,
because Sergio Marchionne wants the Italian industry to specialize in
high-ended cars to be exported globally. At this point, the results the
brand has had so far give him a hope of going ahead with his plans and
at the same time, they are a safe first step for the future plans of Alfa
Romeo.
According to Wester, the new Quattroporte counted for 56% of total
sales (as of June 17th), while the Ghibli, on sale from September 2013,
got 2.249 orders (16%).

Overview: SUPER LUXURY SUV´s
SUVs are the fastest-growing segment in the car market, but one into which super-luxury carmakers have not
really ventured so far. Porsche, the maker of high-end sports cars which like Bentley also belongs to Europe's
biggest car maker Volkswagen, has seen its sales boosted by its Cayenne SUV. There's a gap which Bentley is now
trying to fill and other carmakers are already on the starting grid.
Maserati and Bentley are the first in the SUPER LUXURY SUV LEAGUE but others will follow:
• Range Rover Ultimate Edition on the market
• Maserati Kubang Concept / Levante planned SOP 2015
• Bentley EXP 9 planned SOP 2016
• Lamborghini Concept Urus planned SOP 2017
• Aston Martin Concept Lagonda Geneva Motorshow 2009; (Mercedes / Investindustrial gives new space for speculation) SOP?

CMVMaserati Levante SOP 2015
The Levante originally planned to be built in a Chrysler US
factory but demand for Jeep vehicles is now reportedly too
strong for the factory to support Levante production. The
new model is now expected to be produced in Italy.
Engines for the 2015 Maserati Levante will reportedly
include the Ghibli,s twin-turbocharged 3.0 litre V6
developing 300kW, along with a twin-turbocharged 3.8 litre
V8 engine developing 395kW.
Again like the Ghibli, a turbo-diesel engine is also expected,
with all engine options linked to an eight-speed automatic
transmission.
The all-wheel – drive system from the Maserati
Quattroporte may be used to give the Levante a sportier
appeal, although Jeep is expected to have some input to
ensure the Levante survives off-road.
The Levante is also expected to share its underpinnings with
the Ghibli sedan, while some of the electronics will be
borrowed from Chrysler products.
Maserati hopes to increase sales from the current 7000 cars
per year to as high as 50,000 cars per year in the next few
years, and an entrant in the booming SUV market could
support this ambitious sales target.

CMVBentley EXP 9 planned SOP 2016
Bentley automobiles are characterized by many things, not
least the surge of torque provided by a big turbocharged
motor flinging you at the horizon.
Fans of the marque will be pleased to know the flagship
luxury Sport Utility Vehicle will use a twin-turbo 6.0 liter
W12 engine - essentially three quarters of a Bugatti Veyron
engine - developing 600bhp and 800 Nm of torque driving
an 8-speed close-ratio transmission.
Beyond the use of the twin-turbo W12 in its range-topping
model of the coming EXP 9 range, Bentley is considering a
range of powertrains including its recently launched 500bhp,
4.0 liter Twin turbo V8 and a V6 plug-in hybrid. The V6 will
offer a 30km fully electric range, CO2 emissions of 130g/km,
and a 0-100km/h time of less than 5 seconds.
The company is presenting the muscular SUV as "a
compelling new take on the Grand Touring Bentley – a
vehicle that feels equally at home at an opera gala
performance, on the sand dunes and the overtaking lane
of the autobahn."

CMVLamborghini Urus planned SOP 2017
The Urus is set to be based on the Q7 platform as the rest of
SUV’s under the Volkswagen umbrella. The difference is that
the Lamborghini will make extensive use of lightweight
materials, possibly to differentiate itself as an ultra-luxury
SUV.
The Urus is Lamborghini’s entry into an already crowded
SUV market and while the rest of the lot don’t hold the
esteem of the Lamborghini name attached to them, it’s still
important for the Urus to be a step above its expected
competition.
That’s precisely why Lambo is expected to slap on a 4.0-liter
twin-boosted V-8 engine that will pump out just about 600
horsepower with an estimated 700 pound-feet of torque.
The Urus characterized by muscular and light weight should
offer plenty of space for four people, with also some
significant storage space which would make it a real car for
everyday use.

CMVAston Martin SUV Lagonda SOP?
Aston Martin plans to invest $1 billion in new products and
technology after Italian private equity fund Investindustrial
agreed to buy a minority stake in the British luxury
carmaker. (December 2012)
Investindustrial is buying 37.5 per cent of Aston Martin via a
capital increase agreed with majority Kuwaiti owner
Investment Dar. The cash injection will help Aston Martin
better compete with Volkswagen's Bentley and rival UK
luxury car manufacturer Jaguar Land Rover, which was
bought by India's Tata Motors in 2008 and has since seen
huge sales growth, especially in China.
Aston Martin to make new models with Mercedes
Daily Telegraph (UK); 26 July, 2013
Aston Martin has entered into a technical partnership with
German car maker Mercedes to help it to develop a new
generation of models with V8 engines. As part of the deal,
Mercedes–owner Daimler will take a stake of up to 5
percentage in the 100–year–old maker of the DB9 and
Vanquish sports cars.
From the product portfolio it is worth to think about a Aston
Martin SUPER SUV. We will hear soon if this thoughts
turns into reality.

Market will see new entrants:
NEW crossover to rival BMW X6 will be built by Mercedes-Benz. It will build a new low-roofed coupe-SUV
crossover to face off against the BMW X6. A Mercedes executive told Car and Driver magazine that while an X6
rival would be something of a bizarre vehicle, it would make a lot of financial sense for the German carmaker.
The executive said the business case had a strong foundation in that development costs would be relatively
modest, while profit margins would be high.
The crossover segments are growing around the world: not only in Australia, Europe and the US, but also -- and
possibly more importantly -- in the developing markets of Asia, So Mercedes logically believes adding more to
their line-up makes good business sense.
Mercedes first hinted at a low-roofed coupe/SUV chimera a couple of years ago, when it announced that it would
begin producing a second model alongside the M-Class at its Tuscaloosa, Alabama plant in the US.
The new model which is likely to be based on the M-Class would slot into the line-up as a big brother to the
recently unveiled GLA-Class.
But they're not the only German brand to be eyeing the success of BMW's X6. Audi has also discussed the
possibility of developing a sporty, low-roofed crossover. As far back as 2011, Volkswagen Group head of design
Walter de Silva said Audi was planning to launch a sporty crossover that would slot between the Q5 and Q7.
Unofficially known as Q6, this crossover could end up being a bit smaller than the midsize X6 and ML-based
vehicles; in which case it would more comfortably be positioned against the future BMW X4.

SUV´s have reduced their weight significantly for example the
Range Rover L 405 has a curb weight of 2160 kg and the
previous version Range Rover L322 had a curb weight of 2580
kg. The L 405 has an aluminum content of 561,3 kg per vehicle ,
which is one of the highest content per car in the automotive
industry.
But mass reductions have more ways to be accomplished,
increased modularization, replacing mild steel with lower mass
materials including high strength steel (HSS), advanced high
strength steel (AHSS), aluminum, magnesium along with
increased utilization of composite materials and the application
of new design concepts, which results in reduction of parts and
this reduces total number of joints.

CMVHow relevant is the Chinese market for luxury premium makers?
We start in 2004 when automotive
markets were radically different
from today. That year, the US auto
market at 16.9m units was almost
three times larger than the #2,
Japan (5.7m units). Although China
came in at #3 with 4.8m units, it
was primarily served by local
Chinese manufacturers in sharp
contrast to the situation today.
In 2014, the Chinese auto market is
likely to be 45% larger than the US,
Japan is now in third position and
the European market, is likely to be
down over 20% from the 2004 level.
Other emerging markets such as
Brazil and Russia have boomed as
well over the period. Such seismic
shifts have upended business
strategies for the world’s leading
auto makers. Getting it right now,
maximising the efficiency of their
model policy and industrial
structure is absolutely critical to
ensure relevance and establish a
long-term competitive advantage

China Association of Automobile Manufacturers
revealed in January 2013, the final results
achieved by the country’s auto industry in 2012.
In total, automakers in China delivered 19,3
million vehicles in 2012 , plus 4.33% more than

Passenger car sales increased in 2012 by 7 %
from 2011 to 15,495,200, while the commercial
vehicle market contracted 5.5% to 3,811,200
units.
If we take an annual growth rate of 7% the Light
Vehicle Market in China will growth to 26,3
million units by 2016.

By the end of 2011, China surpassed Germany as the world’s second-
largest premium automobile market. According to consulting firm
McKinsey & Co., China is expected to overtake the U.S. as the world’s
largest luxury-car market as soon as 2016, as higher incomes and the
desire for status elevate premium auto brands.
This key secular growth trend has largely been driven by the Chinese
consumer’s desire for brand-name items and the prestige associated
with luxury goods as the country embraces capitalism more
enthusiastically.
The spending power of China’s upper middle class has been rapidly
growing in tandem with wealth accumulation. At the top end of China’s
consumer spending, luxury consumption is flourishing, with customers
chasing global luxury brands, world-class services and products.
For instance we believe the growth pattern of SUVs in China will follow
that of its neighbours and developed economies. In Taiwan, for instance,
SUVs accounted for only 5% of total auto sales in 1996, but 33% by 2012
Likewise, the level is 30% in Korea now, compared to 20% a few years
ago. In the US, SUVs and crossovers together made up 29% of car sales
in 2012. We forecast China’s SUV segment to grow from 5% of total Light
Vehicle sales in 2005 to 10% in year 2012 and 15% by 2015 and 18% by
2016.
Based on that scenario, we expect 3,7 million SUV be sold by 2015 in
China and for 2016 we expect a SUV Sales volume of 4,8 million units
in China.
We expect the sales growth of SUVs in China to be 2-3 times faster than
that of the broader PV market. In other markets such as the US, Korea
and Taiwan, SUVs now account for one third of the total PV market.
Going bigger is a clear trend in China
