Aston Martin starting building its test center at Nurburgring earlier this year and now the building is fully operational and ready to be used for development and durability of Aston Martin prototypes or customer events.

The center has been in consistent use since May 2008 and Aston Martin engineers have been regularly testing new prototypes and current vehicles. The Aston Martin DBS, DB9 V8 Vantage and the upcoming Rapide and V12 Vantage have all benefited from the center while testing at the Nurburgring.

Aston Martin also said today that it will be building a new display showroom and a VIP business lounge in the Nurburgring trackside due for completion in June 2009.
