Thanks to the partnership between Aston Martin and the Red Bull Racing team, the British firm has launched the Aston Martin Vantage Red Bull Racing Edition ahead of the upcoming unveiling of the AM-RB 001 hypercar.

The Red Bull Racing special edition will be available with the V8 and V12 engines of the Vantage. Both versions will come as standard in Mariana Blue, although as an option, Tungsten Silver gloss and Mariana Blue satin finishes will be offered. Other distinctive details of this edition are the red accents on the bodywork and the yellow brake calipers (the colour used by the Formula 1 team’s single-seaters).

Such is the exclusivity that Ricciardo and Verstappen are obliged to sign them if the customer requests itThe Aston Martin Vantage Red Bull Racing Edition features several carbon fibre elements such as the front splitter, the diffuser, the front grille and the side air intakes. Carbon fibre is also present in the front seat headrests, which also incorporate a Red Bull Racing embroidery.

The mechanics have not been altered in this special edition, so the Aston Martin Vantage continues to offer 430 CV of power with the 4.7-litre V8 engine, and 565 CV of power with the 5.9-litre V12 engine.

“Motorsport is and always will be a key part of the DNA of Aston Martin, and the Vantage S Red Bull Racing V8 and V12 editions bring that essence directly to our customers,” says Aston Martin CEO Andy Palmer.

The price of the Red Bull Racing special edition has not yet been confirmed by Aston Martin. The Vantage V8 and V12 cost 116,000 and 170,000 euros respectively. The extra cost of this edition, limited to around 20 or 30 units, is expected to be significant.

Apparently, the Red Bull Racing Formula 1 drivers Daniel Ricciardo and Max Verstappen are obliged to sign the inspection plates of the Aston Martin Red Bull Racing Edition if the customer requests it.
