Aston Martin V8 Vantage S Swedish Forest Edition


The standard hand-built baby Astons are still a stylish proposition for those looking for a capable Grand Tourer. Especially if it's enhanced by “Q”.

Q by Aston Martin is the British car maker’s equivalent of Rolls Royce’s bespoke, McLaren’s MSO etc. The division is Aston’s unique personalization service that builds customer-bespoke vehicles. Their latest creation was commissioned by Aston Martin Stockholm, and it’s named Swedish Forest Edition.


It looks like your regular V8 Vantage S, but the customized details set this special, which will be made in just four examples, apart. The car’s theme was inspired by the color of the forest and it features unique stitching patterns and bespoke wooden waterfall fascia.

The latter can be found on center console and on the door sills (as bespoke plaques). The forest motif governs the entire cabin, with the upholstery representing the ground, the wooden facia represents the three trunks, and headliner the “forest roof”. Turn on the interior lights and you’ll even have artificial komorebi.


The V8 Vantage S’ gray body is contrasted by green carbon fiber accents, which casually remind you that the vehicle still has 430 hp and 489 Nm of torque, and can go from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.1 seconds.
