Is This Jonny Ive’s Aston Martin At Apple’s Rock&Roll Event?

There’s a silver Aston Martin Vantage parked around the corner from Apple’s “It’s only rock and roll, but we like it” event, which is about to kick off.

It’s in a spot where Steve Jobs has parked his Mercedes in the past, just to the side of the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts. There are several spots cordoned off with traffic cones, watched over by a guard with an Apple-logo shirt. I asked if it belonged to Jonatahn Ive, Apple’s head designer. He said, “Who?”

The Aston Martin is a Vantage and has a “V 007’ license plate. Jonny Ive is known to drive a DB9, a $250,000 supercar imported from his homeland, Britain.

    Meh.

    Jon Ive should trade up for the new Aston Martin 177. Now THAT’S a car!

    British cars are RIGHT handed driven; this is LEFT handed.
    Why would he import this?

  • adham

    Well, perfect match for Jon as Aston Martin represents the Top End of exclusivity and luxury.
    One 77 is perfect, but still i would go for a DBS Volante for every day.
