In a statement, Mr Stroll said: “2024 is a year of immense product transformation at Aston Martin, with the introduction of four new models to the market before the end of the year. 

“Our first quarter performance reflects this expected period of transition, as we ceased production and delivery of our outgoing core models ahead of the ramp-up in production of the new Vantage, upgraded DBX707 and our upcoming V12 flagship sports car which we’ve confirmed today. 

“As part of our ongoing programme of ultra-exclusive models, we will deliver a new special in the fourth quarter of the year.”

It comes after the company completed a major refinancing in March and appointed Adrian Hallmark, the former boss of Bentley, as the new chief executive.

He will join later this year, replacing Amedeo Felisa.
