Aston Martin unveils the Vantage S Red Bull Racing Edition

The partnership between Aston Martin and Red Bull Racing has already given us the AM-RB 001, a hypercar with a 6.5-liter V12 engine and a price tag of $3 million. Now, Aston Martin is rolling out V8 and V12 Vantage S Red Bull Racing Editions. These new editions might not be as wild as the hypercar, but they certainly do stand out.

Q by Aston Martin, the automaker’s personalization division, created the special-edition Vantages. The Red Bull Racing Edition comes finished in either a satin Mariana blue or a gloss tungsten silver. Red trim on the fender vents and grille is standard along with yellow calipers. However, Q can flip this color scheme. A carbon-fiber grille, front splitter, diffuser and fender vents complete the racing-inspired appearance.

Inside, there is Red Bull Racing headrest embroidery, a color-coded steering wheel and carbon-fiber trim inlays. Making the F1 inspiration more obvious, Red Bull Racing drivers Daniel Ricciardo or Max Verstappen can sign the doorsill and final inspection plaques for a bit more exclusivity.

We expect pricing information to drop closer to the car’s on-sale date, set for the second quarter of this year. Interested parties should contact their local dealers directly.
