Let’s face it: for all this talk about how inner beauty comes from inside, and all that matters is how well somebody or something performs, physical appearances do count. Some people will not even consider driving a car that is not in a color that matches their personality and style.
Obviously, we’re not talking here about the regular Joe and Jane who loves his or her car more than their own mother or simply uses it as a means to get to where they need to be. We’re talking about a customer for whom the color on a car is a deal-breaker.
For these people, there’s the Pastel Collection, a quintet of bespoke Aston Martins offered by the Aston Martin Newport Beach dealership, inspired by the Californian lifestyle. The good news is that the entire collection is already available. The bad news is that it’s only available in Orange County, California.
But it doesn’t hurt to window shop.
Aston Martins stand out for a lot of things, including great engineering and performance and gorgeous, timeless designs, but they don’t exactly stand out for bright or otherwise eye-popping colorways. With the British carmaker, you usually get somber, metallic colors and variations of the same, and they work. As it turns out, perhaps surprisingly so, so do pastels.
Developed with Q by Aston Martin, the in-house personalization service, these five vehicles are perfect for the spring and the coming summer. All are 2021 models, and they feature gloss black accents on the exterior and Obsidian Black and Ivory leather on the interior. Depending on the exterior color, each vehicle bears matching door inserts and center console.
The Collection comprises a Vantage Coupe in Ultra Violet, a Vantage Roadster in Cardamom Violet, a DB11 Coupe in Butterfly Teal, a DB11 Volante in Clear Water, and a DBX in Vibrant Coral. Pricing for each unit is in the $200,000 region and beyond, and, yes, you will pay more than you would with a stock vehicle for the custom paint job.
