Aston Martin Honors Le Mans Heritage With Bespoke DB12 S Models

Aston Martin has unveiled a trio of bespoke DB12 S models, created by its Q by Aston Martin customization division, to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. These unique vehicles, collectively named the VMF collection, serve as a tribute to the original 1950 and 1951 Le Mans DB2 racing team entries. The historic factory and private racing cars were notably identified on the track by their distinct grille colors and British registration plates that began with the "VMF" sequence. By focusing on these specific mid-century registry numbers rather than broader heritage themes, Aston Martin aims to deliver a deeply rooted homage targeted at dedicated motorsport enthusiasts. Each of the three modern interpretations features a Carbon Black exterior, which serves as a canvas to highlight its specific accent color. The VMF 63 model incorporates Rosso Red details, the VMF 64 model features Speed Yellow accents, and the VMF 65 model is distinguished by Ellwood Blue highlights. These color accents are applied across the grille vanes and carbon fiber side strakes. Further design modifications include a subtle silhouette of the historic DB2 integrated into the Aeroblade rear spoiler and commemorative "75" graphics placed on the fenders. The meticulous color coordination extends seamlessly into the vehicle's interior. The Q by Aston Martin customization team has incorporated contrast stitching that precisely matches each respective exterior color theme. Silhouettes of the original DB2 race car are embroidered into the front seatbacks, while rear passengers are presented with exclusive "75" roundels. The driver's environment is further enhanced with a color-matched start-stop rotary controller and painted paddle-shifter tips, completing the curated aesthetic. Beneath the bespoke exterior enhancements, the grand tourer retains its potent performance capabilities, powered by an AMG-sourced twin-turbocharged engine. The Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance is an annual automotive gathering held in Pebble Beach, California, widely regarded as one of the world's premier automotive events. Aston Martin Lagonda Global Holdings plc is a British manufacturer of luxury sports cars and grand tourers. The DB12 S is a variant of Aston Martin's DB12 model, known for its blend of performance and luxury.
