Aston Martin debuts Thrillseeker Collection and Valhalla at Monterey Car Week 2025, celebrating 75 years in the Americas with exclusive models and events.

British marque Aston Martin marked its 75th anniversary in the Americas with a striking showcase at Monterey Car Week 2025. The highlight was the debut of the Thrillseeker Collection – three convertibles in distinctive colors inspired by the scenic Carmel Bay. The Vantage Roadster in Mako Blue reflects the mood of dawn skies and morning fog, the DB12 Volante in Seychelles Blue channels the energy of the afternoon sun, and the Vanquish Volante in Ultramarine Black captures the drama and mystery of dusk. Each car features bronze wheels, bronze detailing, a signature bronze rotary center dial, and a bespoke luggage set. Limited to just nine units, the collection is already sold out, with first deliveries scheduled for Q4 2025.

Another major premiere was the production version of the Valhalla – Aston Martin’s first mid-engined supercar, first plug-in hybrid, and first model with dedicated electric-only capability. Developed using Formula 1 technologies and the expertise of Aston Martin Performance Technologies, it was presented at The Quail: A Motorsports Gathering and Pebble Beach Concept Car Lawn. For the brand, this marks a milestone transition from concept to production.

Beyond the product reveals, guests were welcomed at the “House of Aston Martin” – a private villa at Pebble Beach that hosted customer specification sessions, previews of upcoming models, tastings as part of the newly announced partnership with Glenfiddich, and evening receptions with company executives. The DBX S and Vantage S, both reviving the ‘S’ performance badge, were also on display.

Invited guests enjoyed exclusive drive opportunities along Northern California’s scenic roads in models such as the DBX707, DB12, Vantage, and flagship Vanquish. The week concluded with Aston Martin hosting VIPs at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, offering prime vantage points for one of the world’s most prestigious automotive events.

According to Chief Commercial Officer Jolyon Nash, Monterey Car Week provided the perfect stage to showcase the brand’s craftsmanship, performance, and prestige. With its rare editions, new models, and strategic collaborations, Aston Martin reinforced its commitment to the future while staying true to its heritage.
