The all new Vantage F1 Edition will also be seen sprinting up the 1.16-mile course. Based on the Vantage, with increased power and enhanced performance and dressed in the new Satin Aston Martin Racing Green, the Vantage F1 Edition is certain to attract attention.

The V12 Speedster, one of only 88, will be present in the latest DBR1 Designer Specification, which pays homage to the legendary Le Mans winning car.
