The Aston Martin Vanquish S has just been launched in South Africa but up North in Cambridge comes this special commission called the Red Arrows edition.
As mentioned it was all put into place by the dealership in Cambridge but the chaps from Q by Aston Martin are responsible for the customizations that have been completed on this Vanquish S. It is dedicated to the Royal Air Force aerobatics squadron and only 9 examples (9 jets in the squadron) will be up for sale with a tenth example being donated to the RAF Benevolent Fund.
It is painted in a special red hue called Eclat Red and also features white and blue carbon detailing. There are some white “smoke trails” on the side strakes, a “charge” motif carbon fibre roof, titanium exhaust and some Union Jack wing badges.
The interior is completely decked out in green fabric to reference a flight suit and you also get the squadron’s flight-formation embroidered into the seat.
Each purchase includes a set of racing helmets, suits, bomber jackets, fitted luggage, and a scale model of the car. This is some pretty epic work from the Q division and I am sure they will be snapped up by Aston Martin collectors.
