Aston Martin has been named the coolest brand in the UK, it was revealed yestyerday.

The sports car manufacturer came top in the annual CoolBrands survey, with the iPhone in second place.

Vivienne Westwood topped the list of fashion brands, beating Chanel, Alexander McQueen and Jimmy Choo, with BBC iPlayer named the coolest website.

The survey was drawn up after researchers identified thousands of brands which were then judged by an expert council and more than 2,000 consumers.

The top 20 coolest brands also included luxury car brand Ferrari, but the humbler Mini also made an appearance at number 16 on the list.

The findings mean Aston Martin has reclaimed its position at the top of the table, narrowly ­pipping Apple’s iPhone to the post.

Aston Martin has topped the rankings four times in the last five years.
