British luxury carmaker Aston Martin celebrates 75 years in the Americas with a significant presence at Monterey Car Week 2025 in California. The brand will introduce its exclusive Thrillseeker Collection and reveal the production version of the Valhalla supercar.
Debuting globally at The Quail: A Motorsports Gathering, the Thrillseeker Collection comprises three distinct convertible sports cars, created by the brand's Q custom division. Inspired by Carmel Bay's changing light and open-top driving pleasure, the collection features:
- A Vantage Roadster finished in Mako Blue (suggesting dawn skies).
- A DB12 Volante in Seychelles Blue (reflecting afternoon sun).
- A Vanquish Volante in Ultramarine Black (evoking dusk).
Each vehicle sports bronze wheels, bronze side strakes, and a signature bronze rotary dial, alongside a custom luggage set. Limited to just nine units, all are already sold, with deliveries starting in the final quarter of 2025.
A major highlight is the unveiling of the production-spec Valhalla. This model integrates technologies from Aston Martin Performance Technologies and Formula 1®. It represents the brand's first series-produced mid-engined supercar, its first plug-in hybrid, and its first production car with dedicated electric driving range capability. The Valhalla will be displayed at both The Quail and the Pebble Beach Concept Car Lawn.

Aston Martin also announced Glenfiddich as its official global whisky partner, expanding on the spirit brand's existing link with the Aston Martin Formula One™ Team. The partnership, launching at Monterey Car Week, celebrates shared British heritage, craftsmanship, and innovation. To mark the collaboration, Glenfiddich will present a rare 1976 Single Malt, matured for 48 years with a finishing period in a specially selected European oak sherry cask. This whisky offers notes of red berries, butter pastry, soft spice, dry oak tannin, stewed fruits, and toasted wood.
