Aston Martin DB12 Volante Palm Beach Edition: Exterior
This special edition DB12 Volante features a Frosted Glass Blue exterior, a Q-exclusive paint that uses fine glass flakes in the topcoat to produce a shimmering effect. Due to the complexity of the finish, it can only be applied by hand. The vehicle also includes Club Sport White pinstripes along the front splitter, side sills, and rear bumper and rides on Gloss Jet Black diamond-turned wheels. Exterior details such as aluminium side strakes also reference the palm motif.

Inside, the car adopts a nautical-themed duotone leather interior in Aurora Blue and Ivory, accented with Spicy Red stitching. A recurring palm-leaf motif appears throughout the cabin, including on the seat embroidery, centre armrest, and door sills. The dashboard features Palm Beach's geographic coordinates, while open-pore Linear Light Olive Ash wood trim was selected to resemble the texture of palm wood. Metal inlays on the seat backs are engraved with the words 'Palm Beach.'
The interior features light shades along with premium wooden finishing,
Pedro Mota, Regional President of Aston Martin The Americas, said the collaboration highlights the design flexibility offered by the Q by Aston Martin service. 'We have created an exceptional sports car that merges performance, artistry and luxury," Mota stated.
Q by Aston Martin specialises in tailor-made commissions, offering clients a wide range of customisation options—from colour schemes to unique interior detailing. The Palm Beach Edition is one example of how local identity and personal preferences can shape the final design.
While the car remains a one-off project, it reflects the growing trend of ultra-personalised vehicles among high-end manufacturers, especially in markets like South Florida, where luxury cars are often seen as extensions of individual style.
