equity firm for purchasing a 50 percent stake in the British automobile giant Aston Martin.
Investindustria, which is understood to have made a bid of around 250 million pounds for the luxury carmaker, faces

favour its plans to invest in new technology.

Aston Martin's headquarters and plant in Gaydon, Warwickshire, UK, the paper said.
