THE Formula 1 season gets underway next month and Aston Martin has unveiled its latest additions to the Vantage range, the V8 and V12 Vantage S Red Bull Racing Editions.

These special editions have been created by the marque's in-house personalisation service "Q By Aston Martin".

They come with a range of distinguishing features for devoted Formula 1 enthusiasts including the option of signatures of Red Bull drivers Daniel Ricciardo and Max Verstappen adorning both sill and inspection plaques.

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 optional

They also come with carbon fibre splitter, diffuser, grille and side strakes. Red infills on the carbon fibre grille and yellow callipers complete the iconic colour scheme.

Inside, customers get further sporting features, including Red Bull Racing headrest embroidery, carbon fibre trim inlays, diamond-quilting and an alcantara steering wheel complete with 12 o'clock accent stripe.

Aston Martin president and CEO Andy Palmer said, "Motorsport is and will always be a key part of Aston Martin's DNA and both the V8 and V12 Vantage S Red Bull Racing Editions bring that ethos straight to our customers.

"With the FIA Formula 1 championship set to begin soon, I hope that the purchase of these models will bring the racing season that little bit closer for those lucky few customers who can't wait for it to begin".

Deliveries are expected to begin in spring and for pricing prospective customers should enquire directly with their local Aston Martin dealership.
