Aston Martin introduces the one-off Vanquish Volante Wave Edition, created by Q and auctioned at the 2026 Naples Winter Wine Festival. Learn the key details.

Aston Martin has unveiled the Vanquish Volante Wave Edition, a one-of-a-kind convertible created exclusively for the 2026 Naples Winter Wine Festival charity auction. Commissioned through Q by Aston Martin in collaboration with Aston Martin Naples, the bespoke model will be offered for sale on January 31 in Naples, Florida, with proceeds supporting the Naples Children & Education Foundation.

The Wave Edition is conceived as an artistic interpretation of South Florida’s coastal landscape. Its design language reflects water in motion, balancing an energetic exterior with a calm, light-filled interior. Finished in Q Iridescent Sapphire, a deep blue paint with a subtle green shimmer inspired by the Florida Bay and the Everglades, the exterior is complemented by gloss black carbon fibre elements and an exclusive Club Sport White livery. Wave-inspired pinstripes flow across the bonnet, fenders and rear sections, reinforcing the maritime theme.

Inside, the tempo shifts toward serenity. A Glacier White primary colour palette is paired with gloss black carbon fibre details, while pale blue contrast stitching forms an abstract wave motif. This signature design appears in the headrest embroidery and engraved sill plaques, visually linking the cabin to the exterior concept. A red anodized start/stop rotary provides a subtle accent, echoing the coastal navigation buoys referenced throughout the car.

The Vanquish Volante Wave Edition will be auctioned under a consignment structure. The winning bidder receives the car along with a VIP Miami experience for two, including a stay at the Four Seasons Hotel at The Surf Club, a private driving session at The Concours Club, and curated dining experiences with wine pairings. Funds raised above the consignment price will be directed to the Naples Children & Education Foundation.

Mechanically, the model retains the specifications of the standard Vanquish Volante, currently positioned as the world’s most powerful front-engine convertible. Its twin-turbocharged 5.2-litre V12 produces 824 horsepower, accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in 3.3 seconds, and reaches a top speed of 214 mph.

With the Wave Edition, Aston Martin highlights the growing role of bespoke craftsmanship in its portfolio, while reinforcing how limited commissions can extend beyond exclusivity to support long-standing philanthropic initiatives.
