“It was a challenge to narrow down our ideas and inspirations from Classic Driver’s 20 years into one specific design. But with the expertise and consultancy of the Q by Aston Martin team, we’ve succeeded in building a very special car.”
Benjamin Knapp Voith
Lead Designer at
Classic Driver
“Each vehicle will be individually hand-sprayed, giving a bespoke feel. We tried to achieve a flat grey, but also using modern pearl pigments – greens, yellows and whites – all working together in sync. Together with the interior, the vehicle will look quite stunning.”
