Aston Martin Newport Beach has commissioned five unique Heritage Edition cars — one each based on the DB12 Volante, DB12 Coupe, Vanquish Coupe, Vantage Coupe and Vantage Roadster. There are no mechanical upgrades: the collection’s value comes from historic colors, the project’s provenance and the guarantee that these specifications will never be repeated.

According to the automaker’s press release, the Q by Aston Martin division revived the shades Pale Primrose, Pacific Blue, Tudor Green, Winchester Blue and Mink Silver. They reference the DB4, DB5, DB6 and models from the 1970s. The cabins feature special embroidery, Heritage Edition plaques, dark open-pore wood and unique seat perforation.

Both DB12s retain the twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 producing 680 hp and 800 Nm. The production car accelerates to 100 km/h in 3.6 seconds and reaches 325 km/h.

The Vantage Coupe and Roadster use a closely related 4.0-liter V8. The current version’s official output reaches 680 hp and 800 Nm, with a top speed of 325 km/h.

The flagship of the five is the Vanquish, finished in Tudor Green. Its 5.2-liter twin-turbo V12 delivers 835 hp and 1000 Nm, enabling a top speed of 345 km/h. This is the car with the most distinctive trim of the group: it received seats with a perforation pattern never used before.

The point of Heritage Edition isn’t improved performance — it’s the provenance of each car. Q by Aston Martin previously used a similar approach for the single DB12 Volante Palm Beach Edition, created together with a separate American dealer. Projects like these turn a standard model into a documented collector’s piece without touching the engine or chassis.

SPEEDME has previously covered another approach to exclusivity — the rare BMW Speedtop with its 625-hp V8, as well as the special Bentley Bentayga Artenara Edition, where the emphasis was likewise on design and provenance.

Pricing for the five Aston Martins has not been disclosed. Buyers should request not only the options list but also the Q by Aston Martin documentation confirming the specification’s uniqueness — provenance and the impossibility of a repeat order are what will most affect future collector value.
