Aston Martin Palm Beach, in partnership with the ultra-luxury performance brand’s bespoke service Q by Aston Martin, has unveiled a one-of-a-kind DB12 Volante that blends renowned British craftsmanship with Palm Beach-inspired design themes. The DB12 Volante incorporates unique patterns and materials to celebrate Palm Beach.
The Palm Beach Edition DB12 Volante is a tribute in oceanic blue, featuring an exclusive Q by Aston Martin Frosted Glass Blue exterior paint. The open-top Super GT also features a Club Sport White pinstripe applied to the front splitters, side sills and rear bumpers, highlighting the DB12 Volante’s firmly planted sports car stance, as well as Gloss Jet Black diamond-turned five-spoke wheels.
With the convertible top dropped, the cabin features a nautical-themed duotone colorway. The Volante features a bespoke palm-leaf motif incorporated throughout, including on the complementary Aurora Blue and Ivory leather and Spicy Red contrast stitching. Seats include palm-inspired embroidery, which extends to the center armrest and door-sill panels. The car also features custom-engraved, polished aluminum Palm Beach Edition plaques that feature the same palm pattern. The motif continues to the exterior, where the aluminum side strakes have been milled to reflect the palm-style stripe.
The DB12 Volante features open-pore linear light olive ash book-matched wood trim throughout, specifically chosen to emulate the rich texture of palm wood. With a nod to the coastal location, the vehicle has Palm Beach’s latitude and longitude coordinates embossed onto the leather dashboard. Diagonally book-matched veneers on the rear of the front seats mimic the palm motif and include metal inlays engraved with ‘Palm Beach’.
“This extraordinary DB12 Volante model perfectly encapsulates the understated elegance of both Palm Beach and Aston Martin,” said Pedro Mota, regional president of Aston Martin the Americas. Mota continued, “Through a collaboration with Q by Aston Martin and Aston Martin Palm Beach, we have created an exceptional sports car that merges stunning performance, artistry and luxury. This Q commission is bound to entice more customers to create a unique specification with Q by Aston Martin, where peerless creativity and British craftsmanship generate vehicles as unique and special for their owners.”
Offering limitless customization opportunities, Q by Aston Martin invites customers to embark on a distinct commissioning experience, where every detail – from subtle accents to fully tailored components – can be designed to their exact specifications, offering discerning collectors the opportunity to own a piece of automotive artistry fitting their unique tastes.
