    Monaco – Aston Martin’s Aramco Formula 1® Team driver, Fernando Alonso, took to the streets of Monaco today, following delivery of his Aston Martin Valkyrie; the ultimate hypercar, a true F1® car for the road.

    Alonso drove his new Valkyrie hypercar out of the iconic Monte Carlo Bay Hotel, showcasing a bespoke specification created in partnership with the design team at Aston Martin’s bespoke service, Q by Aston Martin.

    Taking inspiration from his Aston Martin Aramco Formula One® Team AMR24 race car, Alonso’s Valkyrie is painted in Satin Aston Martin Racing Green with bespoke contrasting AMR Satin Lime Graphics, emphasising the aerodynamic highlights of the hypercar. The cavernous Venturi Tunnel has been enhanced even further with the addition of Speed Red and Light and Dark Blue painted graphics. Exposed Carbon Fibre adorns the roof, engine cover, and lower aero and a Titanium Aston Martin Wings badge sits proudly on the nose. A bespoke ’CAUTION HOT’ graphic has also been applied to the rear.

    Inside the driver focussed cabin, the continuation of exposed carbon fibre is expansive, and swathes of Pure Black Alcantra are paired with a contrasting AMR Lime stitch. Alonso’s infamous logo can also be seen embroidered into the headrests in the same AMR Lime thread.

    Possibly the most intricate detail is in fact one that most will not see: A red anodised aluminium accelerator pedal etched with the number ‘14’, paying homage of course to Fernando Alonso’s driver number, chosen at the age of 14 on 14 July 1996 when he became karting world champion with #14.

    “It’s hard to put into words how much I have been looking forward to this day”, said Aston Martin Aramco Formula One® Team driver, Fernando Alonso.  “To sit at the wheel of my own Valkyrie; one that I have worked on designing so closely with the team at Q by Aston Martin is certainly a day to remember. Valkyrie truly is an F1® car for the road, with so much of the knowledge and technology taken from all the experience Aston Martin has on track and I can’t wait to hit the road.”

    Accelerating from 0-60mph in under 2.5 seconds and boasting a hybrid 6.5-litre V12 powertrain developing a maximum power of 1,155PS, the Aston Martin Valkyrie incorporates a ferocious combination of F1® inspired aerodynamics and performance, delivering one of the most intense driving experiences achievable on the road.

    Like all Aston Martin sports cars, Valkyrie is being built at the marque’s UK Headquarters in Gaydon. A dedicated project delivery team manages the build right through to delivery in a specially commissioned Valkyrie production area.  A team of highly skilled technicians hand-build each of the 150 cars, with each Valkyrie taking over 2000 man hours to create.

    Before each Valkyrie is delivered, it is track-tested at the Aston Martin high performance facility at the home of British Motorsport, Silverstone where much of the development of the hypercar has taken place.

    Q by Aston Martin is the marques unrivalled personalisation service, allowing customers to explore their design creativity with infinite capacity and delivering the ultimate expression of individuality. From bespoke paint colours and graphics on the exterior to personalised, intricate details etched into the interior, it is possible for Aston Martin customers to create a true one-of-a-kind specification.

    Market Find: Paint to Sample Smyrna Green Porsche GT3 RS

    Originally available on the 356, Porsche’s Smyrna Green (smyrnagrün; non-metallic UNI; Z33; Porsche) is one of the more underutilized shades of Stuttgart’s rainbow. But for me, it represents somewhat of a generational conversation. Much like asking “what show is Uncle Jessie from?” to folks of differing ages will get an answer which varies between Full House and Dukes of Hazzard, you wouldn’t be shocked to hear Millennials and Gen X swear this is actually Evergreen from BMW’s M roadster and coupe.

    Whichever way you lean, this Porsche GT3 RS (VIN: WP0AF2A91RS272361) represents a display for forceful restraint. Beyond the obvious, you’ll find a long list of options including the Weissach Package, yellow deviated stitching throughout, numerous surfaces covered in Race-Tex, and the extended range fuel tank among others.

    Currently on offer at Merit Partners, this GT3 RS has covered just 92(!) miles since new, and pricing is available upon request. If you have the means, we highly recommend picking this Tailored Driver up.

    Market Find: Sea Green BMW Individual 328i Convertible

    To summarize a point often made during these early days of Tailored Driver– green is good. When paired with a price of entry that’s not completely out of most budgets, it’s even better. But for this one, you’ll need to bring a boat.

    Finished in BMW Individual Sea Green Metallic (seagrün; metallic; 393; BMW) and paired with green leather seats and matching soft top, this BMW triples down on a good thing. While not the full ITB experience of a euro-market M3, this 328i sports the M appearance package and a manual transmission which will be a lot easier to maintain properly with parts easily found stateside.

    At time of writing, this Tailored Driver has an asking price of €16,999 and is located in Hamburg, Germany. At current exchange rates, that’s about $18,750 plus shipping and handling.

    Market Find: 2022 BMW Individual X5 M in British Racing Green

    If you’re looking for a faster or more affordable way into the driver’s seat of a tailored car, buying it built can be a solid strategy. No, it’s not to your exact spec and you don’t get your Instagrammable moment of a sales guy pulling a fake auto show cover off of the car in a brightly lit delivery room, but you do get to skip the line for an allotment and the wait for production… not to mention enjoy a bit of depreciation. This can be especially rewarding when snagging a late model and barely broken in example from a previous owner with impeccable taste. Take for example this 2022 BMW X5 M (VIN# 5YMJU0C07N9M27108).

    This BMW Individual touched X5 M is an AutoTrader Private Seller Exchange listing. In the notes, the current owner states, “I personally specc’d this BMW Individual in British Racing Green and waited over 6 months for it to arrive.”

    That owner then logged just under 20,000 miles (19,778 to be exact) before putting the car up for sale.

    They also shared that the paint wasn’t the only option. This X5 M also got Merino full leather in Taruma Brown, red M-compound brake calipers, carbon fiber interior trim, shadow line lights, shadow line extended trim and BMW 50 Years anniversary emblems.

    Other options included: Executive Package, Remote engine start, Soft-close automatic doors, Rear side window shades, Heated and cooled cupholders, Front massaging seats, Front ventilated seats, Front and rear heated seats, M Competition Package, M Sport exhaust system, 21/22 M light alloy wheels, M seat belts, Competition Package 2, Driver Assistance Professional Package, Extended traffic jam assistant, Active driving assistant pro.

  • The Porsche 911 Turbo 50 Years

    The Porsche 911 Turbo 50 Years

    • Exclusive 50th anniversary model of the 911 Turbo
    • Limited to 1,974 units
    • Design evokes historic 911 Turbo models

    [source: Porsche AG]

    Stuttgart. To mark the 50th anniversary of the 911 Turbo, Porsche is launching an exclusive anniversary model of its iconic sports car. The 911 Turbo 50 Years combines outstanding performance and the finest materials with exclusive design elements. The interior and exterior evoke historic 911 Turbo models, complemented by timelessly elegant and contemporary styling elements. An optional Heritage Design Package further refines the aesthetics of the anniversary model. Porsche has limited the 911 Turbo 50 Years, which is based on the last-generation 911 Turbo S, to 1,974 units in honour of the year in which the first 911 Turbo made its debut.

    Unique anniversary model with Turbo feel and design
    When it was introduced in 1974, the Type 930 Porsche 911 Turbo shifted the boundaries of what was possible. It brought the benchmark turbo technology from the 917/10 and 917/30 racing cars into a production sports car with superior performance and combined it with a unique design and unprecedented day-to-day usability. The 911 Turbo 50 Years anniversary model – based on the 911 Turbo S introduced in 2019 – both pays tribute to and reinterprets this heritage. The standard side vinyl graphics are a nod to the historic livery of the Porsche 911 RSR Turbo presented at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1973, itself a forerunner of the 911 Turbo. It features the current Porsche Turbo-exclusive colour Turbonite, which here makes its first appearance on a 911. Turbonite is also used on inlays in the rear engine cover, the fuel tank cap and in the Porsche crest. It is also being used as a contrasting colour in the Turbo 50 model logo. Another historical reference is the use of Anthracite Grey on the rear wing blade, rear apron, mirror base and air intake trims. A badge on the rear engine cover grille features a turbocharger icon and the years 1974–2024. When the door is open, the LED door projector projects the image of a turbocharger onto the ground next to the car. The 911 Turbo 50 Years comes with the 911 Turbo S Exclusive Design wheels in Turbonite as standard.

    Interior recalls the zeitgeist of the 1970s
    The interior of the 911 Turbo 50 Years is also redolent of Turbo history. As an exclusive tribute to the early Porsche 911 Turbo models, the iconic McKenzie tartan adorns the centre panels of the seat covers and the interior door panels. Additional contrasts in Turbonite further differentiate the car from the regular 911 Turbo S series-production model. These Turbonite accents include the seat belts, controls, decorative stitching, trim strips with decorative inlays in black leather and the Porsche crest on the GT sports steering wheel. An illuminated Turbo 50 logo, meanwhile, features on the door kick plates, which are finished in black brushed aluminium. The logo is embroidered into the headrests of the Adaptive Sports Seats Plus. There is also a Turbo 50 logo on the back of the left rear seat. Above the glove compartment is an anniversary plaque in aluminium, which bears both the Turbo 50 logo and the individual limited-edition number of the sports car. The A-pillar, sun visors and roof lining are upholstered in perforated Race-Tex. An analogue Porsche Design Subsecond clock with a special Turbo 50 design adorns the dashboard.

    Even more history with Heritage Design package
    The historically inspired, optionally available 50 Years of Turbo Heritage Design Package complements the anniversary model with numerous additional exclusive design and equipment features that hark back to the 911 Turbo models of the 1970s. The base colour of the Heritage Design Package is provided by the Aventurine Green Metallic paintwork. Alternatively, both the standard 911 colours and Paint to Sample programme colours are also available. One component of the Heritage Design Package is a high-quality decorative graphic in White (satin finish) consisting of three elements: the lollipop with individually selectable car numbers between 0 and 99, the 50 years of Turbo logo and a Porsche logo. Those who prefer a minimalistic look can dispense with some or all of the graphic elements. The historic Porsche crest from 1964 is used on the front bonnet as well as on the centre caps of the Sport Classic wheels, painted in Brilliant Silver and White (satin finish). The Turbo 50 and Porsche logos on the rear are in Gold. In the interior, additional leather features and additional tartan design elements round off the anniversary model. The dashboard trim, glove box and seat backrest inlays are covered with the classic pattern. The historic Porsche crest is mounted on the steering wheel, while the centre console storage compartment bears the Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur logo embossed in the leather. The dials in the instrument cluster and the Sport Chrono clock in the Heritage Design Package are finished in green.

    Outstanding in performance, style and history
    Technically, the Porsche 911 Turbo 50 Years is based on the 911 Turbo S that has been in production since 2019. Its 3.7-litre boxer engine with variable turbine geometry (VTG) twin turbocharging delivers 478 kW (650 PS) and 800 Newton metres of torque. With a kerb weight of 1,640 kilograms, the result is a power-to-weight ratio of 2.52 kg/PS. The 911 Turbo 50 needs just 2.7 seconds for the sprint from 0 to 100 km/h and hits 200 km/h in a mere 8.9 seconds. Power is transmitted to the wheels by the 8-speed dual-clutch transmission (PDK) and the active all-wheel-drive Porsche Traction Management (PTM) with Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV Plus), including the electronically controlled rear differential lock with fully variable torque distribution. A sports exhaust system with black tailpipes comes as standard. The 10 millimetre-lower Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) sports suspension and the lift system on the front axle are also included as standard, as are the LED matrix headlights, including the Porsche Dynamic Light System Plus. The brake callipers of the standard PCCB brake system feature a black finish.

    Exclusive Chronograph for a timeless sports car
    Exclusively for the owners of the 911 Turbo 50 Years, Porsche Design Timepieces is releasing a special timepiece as an homage to the anniversary model. The 911 Turbo 50 Years chronograph is equipped with the COSC-certified Porsche Design WERK 01.200 movement with flyback function. Like the vehicle, the watch is limited to 1,974 units and combines classic design with modern technology. Its black dial with elements in Turbonite is a perfect likeness of the timepiece on the dashboard. The strap, made of black vehicle leather with decorative stitching in Turbonite, features a folding clasp. The transparent case offers a view of the winding rotor in the same style as the wheels of the 911 Turbo 50. The limited-edition number engraved on the titanium housing corresponds to the limited-edition number of the vehicle. The chronograph is also available in a special version in conjunction with the Heritage Design Package.

    Ready for immediate order
    The limited-edition 911 Turbo 50 Years anniversary model can be ordered now at prices starting from € 274,000 including VAT and country-specific equipment. Deliveries will start in autumn 2024. It can already be seen in the ongoing Beyond Performance – 50 Years of Porsche Turbo special exhibition at the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen.

  • Market Find: Paint to Sample Porsche Taycan in Underberg Green

    Market Find: Paint to Sample Porsche Taycan in Underberg Green

    Though EVs are far from traditional and the debate of the ubiquitousness of their future is never ending, we find the tradition of PTS carrying over to electric Porsches like the Taycan to be undebatable. Take for example this MY2023 Porsche Taycan GTS Sport Turismo (VIN: WP0CD2Y1XPSA90074) in classic Underberg Green found over at Porsche Sugar Land.

    We see Underberg Green regularly amongst the many green Paint to Sample Porsches that cross our news desk, and for good reason. The legend goes (via @PTSRS) that the origins of the color tend to be attributed to the Underberg family who both owned the Underberg brand of German digestif bitter and the cars they may or may not have ordered in that color… and apparently they were more of a Mercedes-Benz owning clan.

    Whatever the case, the color starts showing up on Porsche models during the 991 era and has since enjoyed a lot of followers for its handsome non-metallic dark green that sometimes gets mistaken for Irish Green.

    In this case, it’s been sprayed on a now Certified Pre-Owned Taycan GTS long roof with about 15,000 miles on it. If you’re looking for a unique wagon and at the same time are EV curious, this car may very well be for you.

    As anyone who had Army Men toys or even a casual interest in the armed forces can attest- Urban Green is just cool. This criminally(?) underused hue of green looks right at home on most sporty variants, and the BMW M4 (VIN: WBS4Y9C04LFH71553) you see here is no exception.

    Featuring a claimed $16,880 in factory options, this highly spec’d BMW M4 is the kind of build that may cause some to initially scratch their heads, but really draws a crowd upon arrival.

    Aston Martin Unifies F1 Pedigree and SUV with Unique DBX707 AMR24

    • New and exclusive DBX707 AMR24 is a celebration of Aston Martin’s Aramco Formula 1® Team and their involvement at the pinnacle of motorsport
    • Exclusive DBX707 AMR24 Edition gets the same racing identity as the AMR24 F1® car and the Official Medical Car of Formula 1®
    • Additional highlights are available to amplify the racing look even further to reflect the brand’s racing pedigree

    [source: Aston Martin]

    03 July 2024, Gaydon, UK: Aston Martin is once again celebrating the Aston Martin Aramco Formula One® Team with the release of an exclusive AMR24 Edition for the world’s most powerful ultra-luxury SUV: the DBX707. Named after the brand’s Formula 1® challenger, the AMR24 Edition is a DBX707 that shares a racing identity with both the AMR24 F1® car and the Official Medical Car of Formula 1®. 

    The AMR24 F1® car is a culmination of countless hours of work and uncompromising craft, built on the strengths of its predecessor and with the learnings from Aston Martin Aramco’s most successful season to date. The first car to be designed and built at the state-of-the-art AMR Technology Campus at Silverstone, the 2024 challenger is a strong evolution, designed to provide the perfect platform for in season development throughout the relentless pursuit of progress.

    In celebration of the Aston Martin Aramco Formula 1® on-track presence, the DBX707 AMR24 Edition raises the intensity and road presence even further for the brand’s critically acclaimed ultra-luxury, performance SUV. A curation of unique colour and trim features creates a DBX707 that unifies the exhilarating world of F1® with the world’s most dynamic and powerful luxury SUV, delivering truly dynamic, racing look.

    The AMR24 Edition offers exclusive content to both the interior and exterior of the DBX707: A choice of Podium Green, Onyx Black or Neutron White paint, complimented by Aston Martin Racing Green or AMR Lime brake calipers and paired with the 23” Fortis wheel in either satin or gloss black, as well as an exclusive AMR24 engine plaque.

    With the addition of either Lime Green or Trophy Silver accents to the sculptured in either gloss black or carbon, reminiscent of those on both AMR24 F1® car and the Official Medical Car of Formula 1®, the F1® connection between the road car and those on the track is underlined.

    Inside the AMR24 Edition, the Inspire Sport trim is available in a choice of two colourways, enhancing the overhauled cabin even further: Onyx black (Monotone) with a striking Lime stitch and piping, or Onyx Black / Eifel Green Duotone with a lime contrast stitch. Finer details can be specified with extended carbon fibre and dark chrome jewellery or titanium mesh complimented by satin chrome. The Aston Martin logo is also applied in foil to the dash panel and AMR24 is etched into the door sills, leaving occupants in no doubt of the Aston Martin racing bloodline. This identification is also supported by the application of a unique, lime hand-stitched saddle strap to the wireless charging station.

    The intensity inside the DBX707 AMR24 matches the exterior with a new sound system developed with Aston Martin’s audio partner, Bowers & Wilkins. Acoustically engineered to the DBX707’s interior volume and shape, this exceptional system uses technologies and innovations found in Bowers & Wilkins acclaimed world-class loudspeakers.

    The Aston Martin DBX707’s unique blend of immense performance, exceptional dynamics, unmatched style and true luxury saw it rapidly ascend to the pinnacle of the sector as the true Supercar of SUVs. The highlights are the 707PS/900Nm 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 and 9-speed ‘wet clutch’ automatic gearbox. Mated to a sophisticated all-wheel drive system capable of sending up to 100% of the torque to the rear axle on demand, the DBX707 AMR24 can launch from 0-60mph in 3.1 seconds and achieve a top speed of 193mph.

    As such DBX707 is now the marque’s single powertrain in the British ultra-luxury performance brand’s SUV portfolio. Comprehensive upgrades to the interior, announced earlier this year, are central to the new DBX707 with the adoption of Aston Martin’s state-of-the-art in-house developed infotainment system and a striking new cabin architecture. The addition of the AMR24 Edition provides a true racing look underlining the DBX707’s driver-focussed credentials.

    Marco Mattiacci, Aston Martin’s Global Chief Brand and Commercial Officer said: “Now with a technically advanced interior to match its class leading performance, the DBX707 AMR24 Edition is a stand-out ultra-luxury SUV with incredible road presence. Aston Martin are competing at the pinnacle of world motorsport, which represents a key pillar in our brand and product strategy for our road cars, and it’s a real pleasure to offer this special edition in celebration of the Aston Martin Aramco Formula 1® Team.”

    The DBX707 AMR24 Edition is now available for customers to order.

    The Aston Martin Aramco Formula One® Team will continue its fight for Formula 1® success at the FORMULA 1 QATAR AIRWAYS BRITISH GRAND PRIX 2024 this weekend.

  • Market Find: Audi exclusive Goodwood Green RS 7

    Market Find: Audi exclusive Goodwood Green RS 7

    Some variation of “I’d take the fast one, in some shade of green” is a common utterance around our office, so to say this fits the bill would be an understatement. Offered currently on Bring a Trailer, this 2016 Audi RS 7 was Tailored in Audi exclusive Goodwood Green (goodwoodgrün; pearl effect UNI; Z6X; Audi), a color which Audi has tried their best to make ‘stick’ with limited take-rate in each instance. We’ll blame the dealers, because to us it’s damn near perfect.

    In fact, the pairing of Audi exclusive Goodwood Green over Silver Valcona leather with the slightly deviated Rock Grey stitching is so striking, it seems the owner enjoyed looking at it more than they enjoyed using it. Just 16,000 miles has been covered since this RS 7 was delivered in 2016, which is a real shame.

    Your chance to right this wrong is just days away however, as this Audi exclusive Goodwood Green RS 7 will go to a new owner when the Bring a Trailer auction closes later this week. Follow the auction live, here.
