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.
