Aston Martin is celebrating its partnership with four-time F1 world champions Red Bull with a special edition of its Vantage S sports car.
Launching in V8 and V12 Vantage S form, the Red Bull Racing edition has a new set of colours to choose from. Mariana blue comes as standard, while there is also gloss Tungsten silver and a satin-finish blue similar to the paint used on the champs' Formula 1 cars.
Red or yellow highlights on the inside edge of the front grille add to the look, with matching side air intakes and yellow brake callipers.

Aston Martin has also fitted a carbon fibre front splitter, rear diffuser and side intakes. It also highlights the boot lid.
The F1 theme continues inside, with Red Bull Racing embroidery on the diamond-quilted leather sports seats and an Alcantara steering wheel, with more carbon fibre throughout the cabin and model-specific door sills.
In addition, buyers can have their model identification plaque signed by either Daniel Ricciardo or Max Verstappen, Red Bull Racing's current driver line-up.
