Aston Martin DB12 S Tribute (2026)
Concept car · 2026 · Combustion
A trio of DB12 S one-offs honoring three 1951 Le Mans racers
To mark the 75th Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, Q by Aston Martin's in-house bespoke division built three one-off DB12 S models named VMF 63, VMF 64 and VMF 65 after the British registration plates worn by the three factory DB2 race cars Aston Martin entered at the 1951 24 Hours of Le Mans. Each car uses a Carbon Black base with a different accent color drawn from its namesake racer - Rosso Red on VMF 63, Speed Yellow on VMF 64 and Ellwood Blue on VMF 65 - carried through painted grille vanes, carbon-fiber side strakes and contrast stitching, with embroidered DB2 silhouettes on the front seatbacks. Each color is limited to a single example.
