Aston Martin celebrates centenary by delivering Vanquish by helicopter

Extravagant car launches and promotions for luxury and exotic car companies are nothing new. A few years ago, Lexus launched its then new LS460 on the 88^th floor of the Eureka Tower in Melbourne, vertically.

Recently, as part of its ongoing celebrations for its 100^th birthday, Aston Martin became the first ever car company to place a car onto the helipad of the iconic Burj Al Arab hotel in Dubai. The new Aston Martin Vanquish was flown by a helicopter and lifted 1,000 feet above the ground and placed on the helipad of the sail-shaped building.

“It is with great pride that we continue our centenary celebrations in such unique manner in the city of Dubai. Today we are achieving another world first – one of many for Aston Martin over the years. This is a true feat for Aston Martin and a fantastic way to begin a new century of global success for our iconic brand,” said Aston Martin CEO, Dr Ulrich Bez from the top of the Burj Al Arab.
