Aston Martin is celebrating 75 years in The Americas at 2025 Monterey Car Week with an unprecedented line-up of the brand’s high-performance sports cars, including the Valhalla supercar and new DBX S.
Hollywood stars have long relied on plastic surgeons to maintain their youthful good looks and, if we didn’t know better, we’d suspect ultra-luxury British car brand Aston Martin had also been into the automotive-equivalent of Botox, such is the stunning good looks of its range some 75 years after debuting in The Americas.
To mark the occasion of its diamond jubilee the Gaydon-based car maker will debut the Thrillseeker Collection – a special trio of Aston Martin convertible sports cars – which are set to debuting globally at Monterey’s The Quail: A Motorsports Gathering.
Delivered by the brand’s bespoke Q by Aston Martin division, The Thrillseeker Collection is apparently inspired by the “evolving hues of Carmel Bay and the visceral joy of open-air driving”.
The trio includes a Vantage Roadster in Mako Blue, evoking dawn skies and morning fog; a DB12 Volante in Seychelles Blue, channelling the vibrant energy of the afternoon sun; and a Vanquish Volante in Ultramarine Black, capturing the mystery and drama of dusk.
Limited to just nine units, all of which are sold, each sports car within the Thrillseeker Collection features bronze wheels, bronze side strakes and a signature bronze rotary centre dial, evoking the amber sun of the Pacific Coast. And, being the champion chaps that they are, Aston Martin will even throw in a bespoke luggage set.
The iconic Brit marque will also unveil the production version of the much-anticipated Valhalla supercar during Monterey Car Week. Valhalla represents the brand’s first series production mid-engined supercar, its first plug-in hybrid, and the first production vehicle with dedicated EV range capability.
If you’re lucky enough to be at Monterey and have a mate at Aston Martin (and who doesn’t?), the brand is also providing exclusive clubhouse hospitality to invited guests within Pebble Beach, with the tipples provided by its newly announced whiskey partner, Glenfiddich. Aargh, to be sure, to be sure, laddie.
If you manage to sneak past security, the villa will feature a display of some of the most exciting new Aston Martins, including the Thrillseeker Collection, Valhalla supercar, and the newly debuted DBX S and Vantage S, which mark the return of the ‘S’ performance nomenclature.
If all of that is still not proving too rich for your blood, Aston’s invited guests will be treated to exclusive drive opportunities from the luxurious Bernardus Lodge in Carmel Valley.
Guests will have the opportunity to pedal examples of the range — including the DBX 707 SUV, the DB12 Super Tourer, the Vantage, and V12-powered Vanquish – on some of Northern California’s most engaging road.
