Aston Martin Recieves Crash Safety Exemption

Aston Martin dealers have a possibility of some rest, since an innovated exemption granted to the brand from NHTSA.

The Vantage along with DB9 of the current generation will be sold for few more years in America, since an exemption from new side-impact crash safety testing standards which none of the other vehicles could pass. These vehicles in compliance could cost the automaker nearly $ 30 million.

NHTSA stated that the basis for the grand is that compliance would cause a significant financial hardship to a low quantity producer that made a trial with its best intentions to comply with the standard.

The company’s dealers were afraid of the economic viability of operating a dealership in question are these two models will be lost. Without the granted exemption, it would have shuttered nearly 670 car sales in three years.

The exemption will continue up till August of 2016 for the DB9. As to Vantage, it will run up to August of 2017.
