Aston Martin DB12 Volante: A Tribute to Palm Beach’s Lifestyle

Aston Martin Palm Beach, in partnership with the ultra-luxury performance brand’s bespoke service Q by Aston Martin, commissioned a one-of-a-kind DB12 Volante that blends renowned British craftsmanship with Palm Beach-inspired design themes.

The DB12 Volante incorporates unique patterns and materials to celebrate Palm Beach and further elevates the elegance of Aston Martin’s 680PS open-top Super Tourer.

The Palm Beach Edition DB12 Volante is a tribute to oceanic blue, featuring an exclusive Q by Aston Martin Frosted Glass Blue exterior paint.

The exclusive paint colour exhibits qualities unique to the use of glass flakes within the topcoat, creating the unmistakably mesmerising shimmer effect that perfectly encapsulates the South Florida sun. Due to this colour’s complexity and delicate nature, it is only achievable through hand spray.

The open-top Super GT also features a Club Sport White pinstripe applied to the front splitters, side sills and rear bumpers, highlighting the DB12 Volante’s firmly planted sports car stance and Gloss Jet Black diamond-turned five-spoke wheels.

With the convertible top dropped, the cabin’s custom features and nautically themed duotone colourways are on display, so even those beyond the cabin may appreciate the custom commission. The Palm Beach Edition DB12 Volante features a bespoke palm-leaf motif incorporated throughout, including on the complementary Aurora Blue and Ivory leather and Spicy Red contrast stitching.

Seats include palm-inspired embroidery extending to the centre armrest and door-sill panels; even custom-engraved polished aluminium Palm Beach Edition sill plaques feature the same palm pattern. The palm motif continues to the exterior, where the aluminium side strakes were milled to reflect the palm-style stripe.

The DB12 Volante features open-pore Linear Light Olive Ash book-matched wood trim throughout, specifically chosen to emulate the rich texture of palm wood. With a nod to the coastal location, the vehicle has Palm Beach’s latitude and longitude coordinates embossed onto the leather dashboard.

Diagonally book-matched veneers on the rear of the front seats mimic the palm motif and include metal inlays engraved with “Palm Beach.” The DB12 Volante is also fitted with Gloss Jet Black Diamond Turned Vantage wheels, which offer a more dynamic and sporty treatment.
