Famed British sportscar maker Aston Martin has released a whole bunch of videos detailing their latest and greatest customized cars, which they showed at the 2012 Beijing Auto Show.

In the year of the dragon, the Chinese market will get 88 custom versions of cars like the Vantage S or the newer Virage. The number eight was chosen because of its Chinese cultural significance - symbolizing prosperity, good fortune, and luck.
