Aston Martin launches Red Bull Racing edition Vantage S

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.

Aston Martin and Red Bull Racing are currently developing a hypercar which aims to be faster than last year's F1 machinery. Dubbed the AM-RB 001, it's set to cost around £2.5m and launch later next year.

The F1-inspired Vantage S in available to order now from Aston Martin dealerships, with deliveries expected to reach customers in the spring.
