Aston Martin has announced that it will be opening an engineering test center at Germany’s NÏ‹rburgring this May. Word of the new center — which will actually be a conversion of an existing building — comes on the heels of Aston Martin announcing its first ever purpose-built design studio at the company’s Gaydon headquarters in Warwickshire.
Aston Martin uses the track to test its vehicles and the centers location should help with the development of new products. In fact, every new Aston Martin model undergoes a 10,000km sign-off test on the track before it can be put into production.
The new facility will also be used for customer activities.
“The NÏ‹rburgring has played a vital part in improving the performance and durability of all modern Aston Martin s. Our new test center will allow us to further increase the performance of our cars and to share something of the unique Nordschleife experience with our customers,” Aston Martin CEO Dr Ulrich Bez said.
