WHAT if someone told you that with a Razorblade and a Green Pea, you can refer to one of the most decorated automotive brands in history? Understandably, it would be really hard to believe. But it is possible. And what if someone told you the car that you see here is from that very brand? That’s even harder to believe. Razorblade. Green Pea. And then this car- the Aston Martin Vantage. Man... this is gonna be a good story.

Aston Martin cars are fondly known as Bond cars and for good reason. There are not a lot of automotive brands that have recognition and presence in cinema as much as Aston Martin. From the gorgeous DB5 in Goldfinger way back in 1964 to the beautiful DB10 in Spectre which came out in 2015, Aston Martins have been the signature car of 007… for the most part.

About the explanation behind Razorblade and Green Pea, Aston Martin was originally founded by Lionel Martin and Robert Bamford. And two of their very first race cars were called… yep, you guessed it right; Razorblade and Green Pea. As you can tell by the name of the cars Aston Martin has had an illustrious (and complicated history). But we’re going to keep the history part of this story reserved for the Vantage only.
