Aston Martin has completed the official global debut of the new V8 Vantage S Red Bull Racing Edition in Melbourne, Australia.
Ahead of the 2017 Formula 1 Rolex Australian Grand Prix, the special edition was revealed to 200 VIP guests at an early preview event of the new multi-million dollar Aston Martin Melbourne dealership.
The Vantage Red Bull Racing Editions, created by the marque’s in-house personalisation service Q by Aston Martin, are highly appealing to the collector market with just 17 units available for Australia. Celebrating the two brands’ unique ‘Innovation Partnership’, Aston Martin’s latest global offering takes approval from Red Bull Racing drivers Daniel Ricciardo and Max Verstappen, with their signatures adorning both sill and under bonnet inspection plaques.
Available with Aston Martin’s characterful V8 naturally aspirated power units, and also available in a V12 variant, both Vantage Red Bull Racing Editions are equipped with a range of distinguishing features for the most devoted Formula 1 enthusiast.
Building on the appeal of the sports-focused Vantage range, the models deliver a blend of eye-catching looks and an engaging and visceral experience for the perfect cruise. Taking inspiration from Red Bull Racing’s distinctive race livery, owners will be treated to a deep Mariana Blue paint finish as standard. For those wanting a slight twist, gloss Tungsten Silver or satin Mariana Blue exteriors are also optional.
Complementing Aston Martin’s signature paint finish is a race-inspired carbon fibre splitter, diffuser, grille and side strakes. Red infills on the carbon fibre grille and yellow calipers complete the iconic colour scheme.
Inside, customers can expect further sporting features, including Red Bull Racing headrest embroidery, carbon fibre trim inlays and a full-leather steering wheel complete with 12 o’clock accent stripe.
The Vantage S Red Bull Racing Editions are available to order now. The V8 Vantage S Red Bull Racing Edition pricing starts at $AUD 259,995 drive away with the V12 Vantage S Red Bull Racing Edition Sportshift prices from $AUD 422,770 plus on-road costs. Deliveries will commence from Q2 2017.
