The first-of-its-kind Palm Beach Edition DB12 Volante brings the highest level of Q by Aston Martin personalisation to the open-top Super Tourer
Nautical exterior and interior features curated by the British ultra-luxury performance brand’s in-house bespoke division, incorporates unique patterns and materials to celebrate the Palm Beach lifestyle
Limited to only one example in Frosted Blue Glass paint, the Palm Beach Edition DB12 Volante was created exclusively through Aston Martin Palm Beach
Gaydon, UK: Aston Martin Palm Beach, in partnership with the ultra-luxury performance brand’s bespoke service Q by Aston Martin, commissioned a one-of-a-kind DB12 Volante that blends renowned British craftsmanship with Palm Beach-inspired design themes. The DB12 Volante incorporates unique patterns and materials to celebrate Palm Beach and further elevates the elegance of Aston Martin’s 680PS open-top Super Tourer.
The Palm Beach Edition DB12 Volante is a tribute to oceanic blue, featuring an exclusive Q by Aston Martin Frosted Glass Blue exterior paint. The exclusive paint color exhibits qualities unique to the use of glass flakes within the topcoat, creating the unmistakeably mesmerising shimmer effect that perfectly encapsulates the south Florida sun. This is only achievable through hand spray application due to the complexity and delicate nature of this colour. The open-top Super GT also features a Club Sport White pinstripe applied to the front splitters, side sills and rear bumpers, highlighting the DB12 Volante’s firmly planted sportscar stance, as well as Gloss Jet Black diamond-turned five-spoke wheels.
With the convertible top dropped, the cabin’s custom features and nautically themed duotone colorways are on display, so even those beyond the cabin may appreciate the custom commission. The Palm Beach Edition DB12 Volante features a bespoke palm-leaf motif incorporated throughout, including on the complementary Aurora Blue and Ivory leather and Spicy Red contrast stitching. Seats include palm-inspired embroidery, which extends to the center armrest and door-sill panels; even custom engraved polished aluminum Palm Beach Edition sill plaques feature the same palm pattern. The palm motif continues to the exterior, where the aluminum side strakes were milled to reflect the palm-style stripe. The DB12 Volante features open-pore Linear Light Olive Ash book-matched wood trim throughout, specifically chosen to emulate the rich texture of palm wood. With a nod to the coastal location, the vehicle has Palm Beach’s latitude and longitude coordinates embossed onto the leather dashboard. Diagonally book-matched veneers on the rear of the front seats mimic the palm motif and include metal inlays engraved with “Palm Beach.” The DB12 Volante is also fitted with Gloss Jet Black Diamond Turned Vantage wheels, which offers a more dynamic and sporty treatment.
“This extraordinary DB12 Volante model perfectly encapsulates the understated elegance of both Palm Beach and Aston Martin,” said Pedro Mota, Regional President of Aston Martin The Americas. “Through a collaboration with Q by Aston Martin and Aston Martin Palm Beach, we have created an exceptional sportscar that merges stunning performance, artistry and luxury. This Q commissions is bound to entice more customers to create a unique specification with Q by Aston Martin, where peerless creativity and British craftsmanship generate vehicles as unique and special for their owners.”
The in-house design and craftspeople at Q by Aston Martin are renowned for their exceptional skills to create truly bespoke Aston Martins, with the Palm Beach Editions serving as testaments. Offering limitless customisation opportunities, Q by Aston Martin invites customers to embark on a distinct commissioning experience, where every detail from subtle accents to fully tailored components, can be designed to their exact specifications, offering discerning collectors the opportunity to own a piece of automotive artistry at their unique tastes. The possibilities are endless from the dedicated team, ensuring no request is too ambitious.

Discovery has strengthened its family appeal by introducing a pair of new editions, while updates across the entire line‑up enhance both the design and family‑friendly versatility of the seven‑seat SUV.
The new Discovery Tempest and Gemini editions honour Discovery’s 35‑year legacy with subtle nods to the model’s history in their names, which also inspire their exclusive design details.
In addition to the new Tempest and Gemini editions, Discovery also offers fresh wheel options, enhanced equipment and a new range of curated accessory packs designed to make the most of everyday family adventures.
DISCOVERY TEMPEST
The most luxurious, comfortable and highly‑specified Discovery ever produced, the new Tempest edition represents the pinnacle of the family. Tempest takes its name from the secret development launch programme for the second‑generation Discovery launched in 1998 – one of the brand’s most recognisable models. Discovery Tempest is available with a choice of three body colours, all exclusively with a Matte Protective Film for the first time ever on Discovery. Clients can choose from Charente Grey, Varesine Blue or Carpathian Grey paint with the Matte Protective Film.
A contrasting Petra Copper Gloss roof finish is standard – the first time this roof colour has been available on Discovery – with Narvik Gloss Black available as an option. This is complemented by a Petra Copper Gloss finish for exterior design details including the the wing vent, Discovery script and lower bumper inserts. The 22‑inch Diamond Turned Style 5124 alloy wheel design sports Petra Copper tinted lacquer and Gloss Black detailing – a new finish for Discovery and exclusive to Tempest.
The Tempest is further identified by unique badging for the B‑pillars, treadplates, puddle lamps and interior finishers. The spiral Tempest graphic represents power and movement. The cabin is enhanced with Shadow Aluminium detailing, and extended Ebony Windsor leather upholstery.
DISCOVERY GEMINI
A thoroughly modern tribute to Discovery’s ingenious design and engineering, which has enabled joyful family adventures for more than 35 years, the Gemini edition takes its name from the codename given to the innovative, powerful and fuel efficient Tdi diesel engine that powered the original Discovery from 1989 and brought new levels of refinement to the powertrain. Discovery Gemini is available in six exterior colours, including Sedona Red which is a first for Discovery and unique to this edition, with a Narvik Gloss Black contrast roof. The Gloss Black detailing extends to the lower body cladding and front wing vents – complemented by an Atlas Gloss grille surround and Discovery script.
A Gemini‑specific graphic on the B‑pillar badges, treadplates and interior finishers also features, alongside new 21‑inch split‑seven‑spoke Style 7001 alloy wheels finished in Diamond Turned Silver. The twinned‑hexagon Gemini graphic reflects duality and togetherness, with a nod to the forms found on the Discovery grille.
The Gemini is perfect for family adventures with a host of extra comfort and convenience features, including a cooler compartment located between the front seats, Click & Go media holders for rear seat occupants and three‑zone climate control to keep the whole family at the right temperature.
Both Tempest and Gemini models are available with the latest powerful and efficient Ingenium D350 diesel engine, with state‑of‑the‑art 48V Mild‑Hybrid Electric Vehicle (MHEV) technology and eight‑speed all‑wheel drive transmission. Developing 350PS and 700Nm of torque, the 3.0‑litre engine’s efficient mild‑hybrid technology harvests and stores energy generated during deceleration and redeploys it to assist acceleration, making it particularly suitable for towing up to 3,500kg.
FURTHER ENHANCEMENTS
Across the rest of the line‑up, Discovery now features a number of specification enhancements designed to offer more choice and versatility. There are new wheel options, featuring a unique colour finish that helps elevate the exterior, providing the perfect combination of practicality, all‑terrain capability and visual appeal.
The five‑spoke 22‑inch Style 5124 wheel can now be specified with Dark Grey tinted lacquer and Gloss Black detailing, while the split‑five‑spoke 21‑inch Style 5123 in black is as an option on Dynamic SE.
The new Tempest and Gemini models join the existing trim line‑up of S, Dynamic SE, Dynamic HSE and the Metropolitan edition, which all now feature enhanced specifications, while the already generously equipped Dynamic HSE gets three‑zone climate control so the whole family remains cool, calm and entertained.

Special model in the livery of the movie’s fictional Formula 1® team
The “APXGP Edition,” strictly limited to just 52 vehicles globally, is closely based on the movie and showcases a special APXGP Edition paint finish. Numerous APXGP-specific designs have been painstakingly applied by hand based on the F1® film car’s paintwork. Amongst others, Race Gold accents can be seen on the surround of the AMG-specific radiator grille, front fenders (with checkered flag design), side sills, rear apron and rear diffuser blade.
The 21-inch AMG Forged Cross-Spoke wheels are also painted in matte Race Gold. The black brake calipers of the AMG High Performance Carbon Ceramic Brake System with six-piston fixed calipers at the front and one-piston floating calipers at the rear provide a powerful contrast.
The AMG Carbon Fiber package with front splitter, side sill trims, rear diffuser, and in conjunction with the AMG Aerodynamics package, a fixed rear wing on the trunk lid in high quality carbon fiber emphasizes the connection to motorsport.

The AMG floor mats feature a leather insert embroidered with the “APXGP” logo in Race Gold. The “Limited Edition 1 of 52” badge in the center console underscores the exclusivity of the special model.

The vehicle, available as both a Coupé and a Cabriolet, is powered by an extensively modified 3.0-litre inline six-cylinder engine with double charging. The engine delivers 330 kW (449 hp) and offers a maximum torque of 560 Nm, with Overboost even reaching 600 Nm for a short period. Technical highlights such as the AMG SPEEDSHIFT TCT 9G transmission and the fully variable all-wheel drive AMG Performance 4MATIC+ make the CLE an absolute dream car.

This “Limited Edition” is extensively equipped with numerous packages. In addition, parts are wrapped in a film with a large AMG logo and colour accents in yellow on the Coupé and black/blue on the Cabriolet. The Coupé is painted in matte MANUFAKTUR graphite grey magno while the Cabriolet also comes in a matte AMG exclusive MANUFAKTUR spectral blue magno.
The “Limited Edition” Coupé rolls on 20‑inch forged wheels in a distinctive cross-spoke design with yellow rim flanges, which are reserved for the edition. For the Cabriolet, polished 20‑inch light-alloy wheels are fitted.

In addition, there is a trim strip in the rear apron and the two twin tailpipe trims of the AMG exhaust system. Heat-insulating dark-tinted windows after the B‑pillars round off the package.
AMG Night Package II (Coupé exclusive) High-quality design details in dark chrome also make the edition an eye-catcher. These include an AMG‑specific radiator grille, struts in the air intake and the typography on the front wings and at the rear.
AMG Styling Package (Coupé exclusive) Numerous elements in high-gloss black combine with the dark details of the Night package to create an expressive overall look.

Celebrating the start of the 2025 DTM season, Dörr Motorsport has worked with McLaren Special Operations to create a limited edition 750S Dörr Motorsport DTM Collector’s Edition. The car celebrates the association between Dörr and their McLaren based campaign in the legendary German racing series.
Painted Anniversary Orange (anniversaryorange; non-metallic UNI; 39538; McLaren), the car also features chrome logos, DTM branding and blue accents in team colors. Inside, the model boasts racing harnesses, a roll cage and details harkening the Dörr association including embroidered starting numbers on the seats.
Only six cars will be built – three coupes and three spiders. Unfortunately, this is a European market only affair. Still, if you’re curious, perhaps Dörr and McLaren Special Operations can help you spec something similar.
Vintage colors and numerous design details capture the charm of the historic G-Class
Exclusive edition strictly limited to 460 units worldwide
Interior combines heritage-inspired elements with modern comfort and technology
[source: Mercedes-Benz]
Mercedes-Benz delights G-Class enthusiasts with the new highly exclusive G-Class Edition STRONGER THAN THE 1980s. With a compelling blend of historic colors, exclusive design elements and equipment details from the legendary 280 GE, it captures the magic of the off-road legend’s origins. The special model pays tribute to the first G-Class model series (W 460), which first captured people’s hearts in the 1980s with its unique combination of on- and off-road capability and laid the foundation for the unrivaled success and cult status of the iconic “Geländewagen.” Strictly limited to 460 units globally, the G-Class Edition STRONGER THAN THE 1980s arrives at select U.S. dealerships later in 2025.
Historic colors and design elements
The limited G-Class Edition STRONGER THAN THE 1980s fuses the modern technology and comfort of a 2025 Mercedes-Benz G 550 with the charm and aesthetics of a heritage model. Customers can choose between three nostalgic paint finishes, which were among the first paint options for the G-Class.
MANUFAKTUR Agave Green: The earthy green radiates robustness and closeness to nature and emphasizes the outstanding off-road capability of the G-Class.
MANUFAKTUR Cream: The classic and timeless color exudes a touch of elegance and sophistication and was a popular choice among customers who primarily used the G-Class for city driving.
MANUFAKTUR Colorado Beige: The warm, sandy hue conveys a sense of adventure and freedom and emphasizes the versatile character of the G-Class.
Prominent amber indicator lights above each headlight also provide a vintage touch. To round off the vintage styling, the complete front fascia, radiator grille, brush guard, underguard, front and rear bumpers, side sills, flared wheel arches and exterior mirror housings are finished in MANUFAKTUR Night Black Magno, echoing the rugged look of the first G-Class. Classic 18-inch 5-spoke alloy wheels in silver provide a striking contrast.
The Mercedes star on the hood employs the design of the historic emblem, featuring the Mercedes-Benz laurel wreath and lettering on a blue background. The tailgate door also features a unique design element paying tribute to the 1980s – the silver brand badge featuring black “Mercedes-Benz” lettering – and an edition-specific spare wheel cover.
Select equipment details from the PROFESSIONAL Line Exterior contribute to the powerful off-road appearance, including PROFESSIONAL mud flaps and all-terrain tires. Vehicles finished in MANUFAKTUR Agave Green are also fitted with the PROFESSIONAL roof rack.
The MANUFAKTUR Logo Package in black, which features black door handles with an embossed “G” logo, further exemplifies the attention to detail. A projection below the exterior mirrors welcomes the driver and front passenger with “G – STRONGER THAN TIME” illuminated alongside the vehicle.
Dove Grey fabric seat inserts and 1980s-style “Schöckl Proved” badge
The interior of the G-Class Edition STRONGER THAN THE 1980s also highlights unique elements in homage to the early days of the off-road icon. The seat inserts of the black leather seats are upholstered with Dove Grey fabric that was highly popular at the time. “STRONGER THAN THE 1980s” branding is incorporated into the front passenger grab handle. The front door sill panels feature the topography of Schöckl mountain near Graz, showcasing the test track where the G-Class has proven its exceptional off-road capabilities since 1979. The traditional “Schöckl Proved” badge at the base of the B-pillar is designed in a classic 1980s style, displaying a heritage G-Class model in the respective vehicle color. A “1 of 460” badge adorns the center console of each vehicle, which underscores the exclusivity of this special model.

An interesting take on limited editions might just be the latest from Range Rover. Dubbed the Range Rover Sport SV Park City Edition, the brand dropped images on their social media channel recently. We’ll embed that here.
Why are we calling it a “micro batch”? In the comments they mentioned it’s a run limited to just three units.
Beyond the photos, Range Rover hasn’t yet shared further details than that. With just three units being sold though, one has to wonder if three friends from Park City, Utah decided to do a group buy of a storm trooper spec Range Rover Sport SV.
What: 1994 Volkswagen Golf Cabriolet Toscana Edition Color: Copper Metallic (camemetallic; metallic Uni; LK2V; Volkswagen) VIN: N/A Mileage: 85,060 km, 52,853 miles Price: € 19,999 CarFax: N/A Window Sticker: N/A Location: Remscheid, Germany Link: Auto Nord Remscheid
For the most part, Volkswagen doesn’t have an in-house tailor, but this German economy brand is rife with special editions, ranging from sticker pack mediocre to truly special. We’d weight the Golf Cabriolet Toscana special edition more on the truly special side of that spectrum.
What makes it so interesting? For starters, it was sold as a final runout of the so-called “Mk1 Cabriolet” built by Karmann. It’s a version and a color that North America never received, and with a March 1994 build date, this car was built after Volkswagen of America ceased importing Cabriolets.
The Toscana came in several distinctive paint colors – Bordeaux Red Pearl, Brilliant Black Metallic, Lieder (Lilac) Metallic, Pearl Grey Metallic and Came (Copper) Metallic you seen here on this example. The cars came with interior code #28, including height adjustable front sport seats trimmed in a set black sport cloth and fabric combination standard across all colors, MFA instrument cluster, leather-wrapped non-airbag steering wheel and shift boot, and Gamma stereo-cassette radio with cassette holder.
Each car would have had 15-inch Le Castellet alloy wheels, though this one shows what look like 15-inch BBS RA wheels that Volkswagen / Karmann had offered on other Cabriolet models but likely weren’t original to this car. We wouldn’t rule their originality out entirely though as this is a very late production car and it’s entirely possible Karmann was fitting whatever they still had in stock.
We note this car has an aftermarket stereo head unit, but is otherwise relatively pristine and reflecting its remarkably low mileage.

The #46 is now 46 – and BMW M has the perfect present to mark the birthday of nine-time motorcycle world champion and current BMW M works driver Valentino Rossi (ITA): the BMW M4 CS Edition VR46 (fuel consumption combined: 10.2 l/100 km [27.7 mpg imp]; CO2 emissions combined: 232 g/km in the WLTP cycle, CO2 class: G)*. This exclusive edition, produced at BMW Group Plant Dingolfing, is available in two distinctive design variants: Sport and Style. “The Doctor” himself was personally involved in the design process for the two versions, both of which will be built in a limited run of 46 cars. The world-famous number, which is Rossi’s trademark, features prominently in several places on and inside the BMW M4 CS Edition VR46 – for example, on the doors and the roof, which is made of carbon-fibre-reinforced plastic (CFRP).
Purchasing a BMW M4 CS Edition VR46 also comes with a once-in-a-lifetime experience comprising an exclusive, personal meeting with Valentino Rossi at his home – the VR46 Motor Ranch in Tavullia (ITA) – and a BMW M Driving Experience at the Misano race circuit (ITA).
“There is no other brand that has motorsport so deeply rooted in its DNA as BMW M. I am proud to be a BMW M works driver, and to share this passion. The fact that there is now a special VR46 edition, in which I was involved from the very beginning of the design process, makes me proud. When I see the BMW M4 CS Edition VR46 out on the road or on the race track later, it will be very cool,” says Valentino Rossi about the edition and the collaboration with BMW M.
Exclusive BMW Individual paint finishes and special exterior and interior details One way in which the BMW M4 CS Edition VR46 differs from the BMW M4 CS (fuel consumption combined: 10.2 l/100 km [27.7 mpg imp]; CO2 emissions combined: 232 g/km in the WLTP cycle, CO2 class: G)* is its two exclusive BMW Individual paint finishes, which blend perfectly with the many exposed carbon surfaces, such as the indents in the bonnet. Other distinctive features include a host of exclusive exterior and interior details. The overall colour concept of the two design versions is inspired by Valentino Rossi’s preferred tones and expressive visual style. For example, the “Sport” has a finish in Marina Bay Blue metallic, while both sides of the car display an outsized “46” in the darker Tanzanite Blue metallic. In the “Style” design variant, the bodywork comes in matt Frozen Tanzanite Blue metallic, with the “46” this time in Frozen Marina Bay Blue metallic on both sides. In a nod to Rossi’s favoured colour scheme, the BMW M kidney grille outline and one of the V spokes in the forged M light-alloy wheels – which, as on racing cars, indicates the position of the tyre valve – are painted in bright yellow, as are the brake callipers with M logo and an accent strip over the door frames of the “Sport” variant. The carbon-fibre roof – like the sides of the car, painted by hand – is adorned with a large VR46 logo (also in yellow, of course) and Rossi’s signature. The tailgate features VR46 lettering.
The yellow accents continue in the interior of the BMW M4 CS Edition VR46, which is predominantly Night Blue. The M Carbon bucket seats come with Merino leather upholstery in the Black/Night Blue colour combination. The Sao Paulo Yellow of the Alcantara shoulder area creates an exclusive contrast. The head restraints, like the door sill trims, feature a prominent yellow VR46 logo. Furthermore, the M Alcantara steering wheel with three-spoke design and flat-bottomed rim comes with yellow contrast stitching and a yellow centre marker. On the carbon-fibre centre console of all examples of the Edition VR46 is a badge stating “1/46”, identifying each Sport or Style car as one of the limited run.
Six-cylinder in-line engine with 405 kW/550 hp The beating heart of the BMW M4 CS Edition VR46 is a high-revving 3.0-litre, six‑cylinder in-line engine with M TwinPower Turbo technology. This power unit has had track performance as its raison d’être from day one of its development. The increase in the maximum charge pressure of the two mono-scroll turbochargers to 2.1 bar and model-specific tweaks to the engine management mean the edition model’s engine now generates 405 kW/550 hp, which is relayed to the road via an eight-speed M Steptronic transmission, the M xDrive intelligent all-wheel-drive system and the Active M Differential. Lightning-fast power development and optimised traction enable the car to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.4 seconds, and from 0 to 200 km/h in 11.1 seconds. When applying the “1-foot rollout” method**, the figures read 3.1 seconds for the sprint from 0 to 100 km/h and 10.8 seconds for 0 to 200 km/h. Acceleration from 80 to 120 km/h takes 2.6 seconds in fourth gear and 3.3 seconds in fifth. The top speed of the edition model, which comes with the M Driver’s Package as standard, is electronically limited to 302 km/h.
Contributing to the excellent engine response is a model-specific engine mounting with increased spring rates. The rigid connection between the power unit and the vehicle’s structure enables particularly direct transmission of its power to the drivetrain every time the driver presses the accelerator. The oil supply system – like the cooling system – is designed to handle the specific challenges of track use, including consistently high revs and extreme lateral acceleration. The engine’s power delivery is accompanied by the emotionally stirring soundtrack generated by the dual-branch exhaust system, which features electrically controlled flaps, a titanium rear silencer with weight-minimising design and – in customary M fashion – two pairs of tailpipes painted in matt black.
Model-specific tuning for chassis technology and control systems The chassis technology for the new BMW M4 CS Edition VR46 has been tuned precisely to the performance characteristics of the engine, the overall vehicle concept and its weight distribution. The individually tuned axle kinematics and bespoke wheel camber settings, dampers, auxiliary springs and anti-roll bars serve to optimise steering precision, transmission of lateral control forces when cornering, spring and damping response, and wheel location. The electronically controlled dampers of the adaptive M suspension likewise come in a model-specific set-up, as do the electromechanical M Servotronic steering with variable ratio, and the integrated braking system.
46 – the trademark of an exceptional racer The number 46 has accompanied Valentino Rossi throughout his extraordinary career as a motorcycle racer and racing driver, and has become even more of a trademark than his nickname “The Doctor” or “Il Dottore”. Having seen his father Graziano Rossi race motorcycles with number 46, Valentino also opted for 46 from the start of his career – and never even swapped it for number 1 when he became world champion, as would have been his right.
Valentino Rossi claimed his first world title in the 125cc class in 1997. Two years later, he added the title in the 250cc class. In 2000, he took the step up to what was the top Grand Prix category, the 500cc class, in which he was crowned world champion in 2001. The following year, this category was replaced by the MotoGP class, and Rossi remained the dominant force. By 2005 he had added a further four world titles, and numbers eight and nine were to follow in 2008 and 2009. With these nine world championships and no fewer than 115 Grand Prix victories to his name, he is one of the three most successful motorcycle racers in history and a global motor sport and style icon. VR46 has become a worldwide trademark – and Rossi’s home town of Tavullia has even reduced its speed limit from the usual 50 km/h to 46 km/h in his honour.
BMW M works driver since the start of 2023 When the curtain fell on his motorcycle career at the finale to the 2021 season, Valentino Rossi turned his attention solely to car racing, having already attended multiple tests in Formula 1 race cars and made guest appearances in rallies and endurance races. Since the start of the 2023 season, he has been a BMW M works driver, plying his trade at the wheel of a BMW M4 GT3 for BMW M Team WRT in series including the GT World Challenge Europe and the FIA World Endurance Championship (FIA WEC) – which includes the 24 Hours of Le Mans (FRA). At the start of February 2025, he finished runner-up in a BMW M4 GT3 at the Bathurst 12 Hour (AUS), the opening round of this season’s Intercontinental GT Challenge (IGTC).
Exclusive meeting with Valentino Rossi in Italy An exclusive bonus that comes with purchasing a BMW M4 CS Edition VR46 is the opportunity to enjoy a very special two-day experience in Italy. Day one features a visit to the VR46 Motor Ranch in Tavullia, including a barbecue and a chance to talk shop with Valentino Rossi himself. On day two, you will head to the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli for a special BMW M Driving Experience with the latest BMW M models. Rossi, at the wheel of a BMW M4 GT3, won GT World Challenge Europe Sprint Cup races at his home circuit in both 2023 and 2024.
