With the 2017 FIA Formula 1 World Championship set to kick off on March 26 in Melbourne, Aston Martin has unveiled its latest additions to the Vantage range.

The V8 Vantage S Red Bull edition is available to order immediately with customers in Australia and New Zealand receiving priority for the first global allocations.

The Aston Martin V8 and V12 Vantage S Red Bull racing editions have been created by the marque’s in-house personalisation service Q by Aston Martin.

The limited edition models have been given the tick of approval from Aussie Red Bull Racing drivers Daniel Ricciardo and Max Verstappen, with their signatures adorning both sill and inspection plaques.

Available with Aston Martin’s V8 and V12 naturally aspirated power units, both Vantage Red Bull Racing Editions are equipped with a range of features that will appeal to Formula One enthusiasts.

Taking inspiration from Red Bull Racing’s race livery, owners will be treated to a deep Mariana Blue paint finish as standard.

For those wanting a different colour, gloss Tungsten Silver or satin Mariana Blue exteriors are also optional.

The vehicles also offer a race-inspired carbon fibre splitter, diffuser, grille and side strakes. Red infills on the carbon fibre grille and yellow calipers complete the colour scheme.

Inside, the vehicle features include, Red Bull Racing headrest embroidery, carbon fibre trim inlays, diamond-quilting and an alcantara steering wheel complete with 12 o’clock accent stripe.

Customers may opt for their sill and final inspection plaques to be signed by either Daniel Ricciardo or Max Verstappen.

Drive away prices start at A$259,995 (NZ$277,406) and deliveries are set to take place from Q2 2017.
