Monterey, USA – 14 August 2025 – Aston Martin is set to command the spotlight at Monterey Car Week 2025, celebrating 75 years in the Americas with a bold statement of design, performance, and heritage. The ultra-luxury British marque will debut the Thrillseeker Collection – a trio of bespoke convertible sports cars from Q by Aston Martin – while also unveiling the production-ready Valhalla supercar, alongside an unprecedented display of its latest high-performance models.
The Thrillseeker Collection, revealed globally at The Quail: A Motorsports Gathering, pays homage to Aston Martin’s enduring presence in the Americas. Each of the three convertibles draws inspiration from the shifting hues and moods of Carmel Bay, offering a sensory narrative of open-air driving along California’s Pacific coastline.
The collection comprises:
- Vantage Roadster in Mako Blue – an ode to the serene dawn skies and ethereal morning fog.
- DB12 Volante in Seychelles Blue – a reflection of the vibrant energy of the afternoon sun.
- Vanquish Volante in Ultramarine Black – a tribute to the mystery and drama of twilight.
All three feature bronze wheels, bronze side strakes, and a signature bronze rotary centre dial, symbolising the amber glow of the Pacific sunset. Each car comes with a bespoke luggage set. Limited to just nine units – all of which are already spoken for – deliveries will begin in Q4 2025.
The Valhalla Arrives
In another significant moment for the brand, Monterey will host the world debut of the production version of the Valhalla. This marks Aston Martin’s first series-production mid-engined supercar, its first plug-in hybrid, and the first production model with a dedicated EV range. Developed in collaboration with Aston Martin Performance Technologies and informed by Formula 1® expertise, Valhalla promises an uncompromising blend of aerodynamic efficiency, driver engagement, and cutting-edge hybrid performance. The supercar will be showcased both at The Quail and on the prestigious Pebble Beach Concept Car Lawn.
The House of Aston Martin
Throughout the week, Aston Martin will welcome guests to The House of Aston Martin — a private hospitality villa overlooking the famed Spyglass Hill Golf Course. This exclusive setting will host customer specification sessions for Valhalla and the next generation of Aston Martin sports cars, immersive experiences with new whiskey partner Glenfiddich, and intimate evening gatherings with Aston Martin executives and VIPs.
The villa will feature the full Thrillseeker Collection, Valhalla, and new performance variants including the DBX S and Vantage S, heralding the return of the ‘S’ nomenclature to the brand’s range. Guests will also enjoy drive experiences departing from Bernardus Lodge in Carmel Valley, sampling the DBX707, DB12 Super Tourer, Vantage, and the flagship V12 Vanquish on Northern California’s most rewarding driving roads.
A Grand Finale at Pebble Beach
The celebrations will culminate at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, where Aston Martin’s VIPs will enjoy the event from Dawn Patrol to the presentation of Best in Show, experiencing first-hand the pinnacle of classic and contemporary automotive artistry.
Jolyon Nash, Aston Martin Chief Commercial Officer, commented:
“Monterey Car Week is the perfect backdrop to celebrate Aston Martin’s 75th anniversary in the Americas. From bespoke creations such as the stunning Thrillseeker Collection, to the array of new sports cars and derivatives on display, alongside the much-anticipated Valhalla, this week exemplifies our commitment to craftsmanship, performance, and prestige, which will be on full display for the world’s most influential automotive enthusiasts and collectors.”
