Aston Martin DB12 S special editions debut at Monterey Car Week, marking Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance's 75th anniversary

Aston Martin has unveiled three bespoke DB12 S models at Monterey Car Week 2026, all created by its Q customisation division as part of the 75th anniversary celebrations for the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. Each car is a one-off, drawing on the marque's racing heritage.

Aston Martin's Monterey Car Week events began on Wednesday, 12 August, on California's Monterey Peninsula.

The three Q commissions (DB12 S VMF) are among the highlights of the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance's 75th anniversary celebrations. Their design takes inspiration from Aston Martin's works racing cars of 1951, bringing elements of the marque's early racing cars into the latest DB12 S.

The DB12 S VMF editions feature Carbon Black bodywork with contrasting painted grille blades. A circular "75" anniversary badge sits on each front wing, while the painted carbon-fibre side sills add another touch of colour.

At the rear, each car gets a painted carbon-fibre Aeroblade deployable spoiler, finished with an overlay inspired by the DB2's body lines.

Together, these details give the three cars a clear nod to Aston Martin's racing heritage.

Inside, the front seatbacks are finished with embroidered Aston Martin wing badges and DB2-inspired body-line motifs, with the stitching picked out in the same colour as the exterior accents. The rear seats get circular "75" anniversary badges.

The start button and gearshift paddle ends are also painted in the matching colour, while the door sills feature a "75" anniversary design based on the DB2.

Alongside the global debut of the three DB12 S VMF editions, Aston Martin also has several other models on display at Monterey Car Week, including the flagship Valhalla and the latest S models – the DB12 S, Vantage S and DBX S.

A classic DB2 is also on display at the event, offering a glimpse at the inspiration behind the new DB12 S VMF editions.

At The House of Aston Martin, the brand is also showing the limited Vanquish 25th Anniversary Edition. Created by Aston Martin Q to mark 25 years since the original V12 Vanquish was launched, the model draws on design details and specifications from the first-generation car, while bringing them together with new hand-finishing and surface treatment techniques.
