Here's The New Aston Martin V8 Vantage Great Britain Special Edition... Built Only For China

Aston Martin has announced a special edition V8 Vantage S called the Great Britain Edition, which… won’t be sold in Great Britain.

The £236,000-ish sports car is defined by its white paint, blue exterior detailing, red brake calipers and red, white and blue Aston Martin badges, but it’s only being sold in China in a run of just five cars. Dark blue leather upholstery finishes a look you’ll probably never see in the flesh. Ah well.

There are no mechanical changes or upgrades for this model; it’s purely a design exercise by the company’s bespoke operations division, Q. They are the same bunch who built the Red Arrows-themed Vanquish S we reported on last week.

There’s not a lot else to go on, other than that the pictures show a Volante soft-top. The British do love soft-tops, as the sales figures prove, even if 90 per cent of owners seem to leave the roof up even throughout the summer, possibly for fear of messing their hair up.

We’ll bring you more info here as and when we get it.

Made in China

I thought about posting this meme XD but then I thought some more and determined that it made no sense 😂😂

Oh we’re making a new car celebrating Great Britain
Where is it
China

We had a Chinese family friend who said he owns a Land Rover (he’s from China), and I asked him how was it did he like it, and all he could say was “The Queen of England owns one.”

I swear the aston vantage has looked exactly the same for the last 15 years

And it still looks amazing

That and the 911…ehy mess with perfection?

It’s a winning recipe

You cannot improve on perfection.

Subtle changes made to a pretty much timeless design.

Are the Chinese going to make a copy called the HYONG V1241-4Z

But only for Great Britain

Or the Martiniston 8V4NT463GB?

Yes actually. Here are the leaks

How does that even work? If it’s the Great Britain edition, it should be sold in Britain as well as China, if anything it should be called the Chinese edition
