The car-marker posted that its revenue for the year to 31 De- cember grew 26% to £1.38bn, and that underlying profits were up 38% to £190.2m. However pre-tax losses across the company increased to £495m, up from £214m the year previous. The company stated that reve- nue was boosted by inflation, al- lowing it to achieve a record av- erage selling price of more than £200,000 per vehicle. The car-maker (AML.L) also added that it plans to delivery of a number of new products in the second half of 2023. One being a ramp up of the DBS 770 Ultimate, and because 2023 sees the firm's 110th anni- versary, there is a plan to pro- duce a "new, strictly limited, ex- clusive Aston Martin model". The car-maker went on to discuss how later in 2023 will see the first deliveries of the already-sold-out Aston Mar- tin Valkyrie Spider and the ul- tra-luxury DBR22. Aston Martin doesn't go into detail about the design of the "extraordinary special model" to be released later this year to mark the company's 110th anni- versary. However, speculation abounds that the upcoming limited-run model could be based on the Valkyrie. The limited addition product could also be an entirely new design, which the firm has pro- duced in the past, with low-vol- ume releases of the Vulcan, and one-offs like the Victor. If the new vehicle was to be modelled on the Valkyrie, then an idea of its acceleration could be a similarly impressive 0 to 60 mph in 2.5 seconds, and a top speed of 250 mph. Executive chairman Lawrence Stroll said the company end- ed the year "with significantly improved growth, margin en- hancement and positive free cash flow in Q4, exiting 2022 with the strongest order book in many years". In the company's preliminary results for the 12 months to 31 December 2022, CEO Lawrence Stroll added: "2022 saw Aston Martin continue to build on the strong foundations that have been established during my three years as executive chair- man. While the last 12 months presented industry-wide chal- lenges, we look to the future with renewed confidence in our ability to deliver on our vision, and the targets we have set." He added: "We have made the biggest investment in our icon- ic brand through the launch of a bold new creative strategy and brand position that aligns Aston Martin to our future ambitions. Our high-performance DNA has been further amplified by our partnership with the Aston Mar- tin Aramco Cognizant Formula One TM team, driving growing demand from a new generation of customers, with more than 60% new to the brand."
