Aston Martin Newport Beach Unveils Heritage Edition Cars
Aston Martin Newport Beach has teamed up with Q by Aston Martin, the brand's bespoke service, to launch an exclusive Heritage Edition collection of five one-of-one sports cars. The collection celebrates some of Aston Martin's most memorable paint colours from the 1960s and 1970s. Each commission pairs an iconic heritage exterior finish, remastered using the brand's latest paint technology, with handcrafted Q by Aston Martin details, giving drivers a modern take on the marque's design legacy.
Buyers can order the Heritage Edition collection only through Aston Martin Newport Beach. The range showcases five current 2027 model-year sports cars, each finished in a revived heritage colour chosen by the Q by Aston Martin design team. Beyond the exterior paintwork, every interior features bespoke Q perforated fluted seats, which appear for the first time on the new Vantage and new Vanquish, along with Q Heritage Aston Martin logo embroidery on the centre armrest and exclusive Heritage Edition sill plaques. The Heritage Edition DB12 Coupe, DB12 Volante and Vanquish also include Dark Walnut open-pore wood inlays.
"Every Aston Martin tells a story, and these Heritage Edition commissions celebrate some of the colours that helped define the marque during one of its most celebrated eras," said Jeff West, General Manager, Aston Martin Newport Beach. "Working alongside Q by Aston Martin allowed us to honour these historic finishes while pairing them with today's most advanced sports cars, creating a collection that bridges Aston Martin's extraordinary heritage with its uncompromising future."
The DB12 Volante wears Pale Primrose, one of Aston Martin's most recognisable historic finishes. This shade first appeared on the cover of the 1958 DB4 sales brochure, and Corgi later chose it for its celebrated Aston Martin model, which in turn inspired the iconic James Bond DB5 toy of the mid-1960s. As the world's first Super Tourer convertible, the DB12 Volante combines a hand-built 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 that produces 671 horsepower with exceptional refinement, delivering effortless performance and open-air driving thrills.
The Heritage Edition DB12 Coupe wears Pacific Blue, a colour Aston Martin first offered on the DB4 before it appeared on both the DB5 and DB6. Q by Aston Martin revived the finish after studying an original Pacific Blue sample from the historic DB6 colour configuration brochure, faithfully bringing the classic hue into the modern era. A true Super Tourer, the DB12 Coupe draws on the same 671-horsepower twin-turbocharged V8 to blend exhilarating acceleration, precision handling and class-leading dynamic capability, redefining the grand touring segment.
The flagship Vanquish Coupe appears in Tudor Green, a metallic finish closely associated with Aston Martin models of the 1970s. The colour suits the muscular proportions of today's halo sports car while echoing the elegance and grandeur of England's Tudor era. As Aston Martin's flagship front-engine sports car, the Vanquish uses a new 5.2-litre twin-turbo V12 that produces 824 horsepower, delivering breathtaking performance, exceptional driver engagement and a top speed of 214 mph.
Named after the historic cathedral city of Winchester in Hampshire, Winchester Blue was one of several British town-inspired colours Aston Martin offered during the 1970s, and it became especially well known on the legendary V8 Vantage. That heritage makes it a fitting choice for today's performance-focused Vantage Coupe, which channels a 656-horsepower twin-turbocharged 4.0-litre V8 to deliver sharper responses, greater agility and exceptional driver confidence, embodying Aston Martin's vision for the next generation of front-engine sports cars.
A Vantage Roadster finished in Mink Silver completes the collection, drawing inspiration from the elegant pale metallic shades that grew popular on DB6 models throughout the 1960s. Aston Martin finished more than 100 DB6 examples in Mink, a colour celebrated for complementing the graceful lines of what remained the brand's best-selling model until the arrival of the DB7. The Vantage Roadster pairs its 656-horsepower twin-turbo V8 with an electrically operated folding roof, delivering uncompromising sports car performance alongside an exhilarating open-air drive.
The Heritage Edition collection highlights the limitless possibilities available through Q by Aston Martin, the marque's bespoke personalisation service. By working closely with clients, Q by Aston Martin turns individual inspiration into unique automotive commissions that combine traditional craftsmanship with contemporary design and engineering excellence. Each Aston Martin Newport Beach Heritage Edition is a unique, one-of-one commission, available exclusively through Aston Martin Newport Beach.
