14 August 2025, Monterey, USA: Aston Martin will celebrate its 75th anniversary in The Americas with a commanding presence at Monterey Car Week 2025. To celebrate this milestone, the ultra-luxury British performance brand will debut the Thrillseeker Collection – a special trio of Aston Martin convertible sports cars – and deliver an extraordinary display of performance, bespoke craftsmanship, and innovation to one of the world’s foremost automotive events.

Debuting globally at The Quail: A Motorsports Gathering, the Thrillseeker Collection is delivered by the brand’s bespoke service, Q by Aston Martin, to commemorate 75 years of Aston Martin in The Americas. The collection is inspired by the evolving hues of Carmel Bay and the visceral joy of open-air driving, and features a Vantage Roadster in Mako Blue, evoking dawn skies and morning fog; a DB12 Volante in Seychelles Blue, channeling the vibrant energy of the afternoon sun; and a Vanquish Volante in Ultramarine Black, capturing the mystery and drama of dusk. Each sports car within the Thrillseeker Collection features bronze wheels, bronze side strakes and a signature bronze rotary center dial, evoking the amber sun of the Pacific Coast, and a bespoke luggage set. The Thrillseeker Collection is limited to nine units, all of which are sold, and deliveries will commence in Q4 2025.

Aston Martin will also unveil the production version of the much-anticipated Valhalla during Monterey Car Week. Fusing the performance-driven methodologies and technologies of Aston Martin Performance Technologies and Formula 1® with spectacular design and scintillating driving dynamics, Valhalla is a supercar of extraordinary scope and represents Aston Martin’s first series production mid-engined supercar, its first plug-in hybrid, and the first production vehicle with dedicated EV range capability. The coveted supercar will be displayed at The Quail: A Motorsports Gathering and at the prestigious Pebble Beach Concept Car Lawn, where design and innovation icons gather. This marks a key milestone in Valhalla’s journey from concept to production.

The House of Aston Martin will provide exclusive clubhouse hospitality to invited guests within Pebble Beach. Stationed alongside the famed Spyglass Hill Golf Course, this haven will serve as a venue for Valhalla and Aston Martin next generation sports car customer specification sessions, activations with newly announced whiskey partner, Glenfiddich, and evening celebrations with Aston Martin executives, VIPs and invited guests. The villa will feature a display of some of the most exciting new Aston Martin examples, including the Thrillseeker Collection, Valhalla supercar, newly debuted DBX S and Vantage S, both of which mark the return of the ‘S’ performance nomenclature.

Invited guests will be treated to exclusive drive opportunities from the luxurious Bernardus Lodge in Carmel Valley. The core Aston Martin range — including the supercar of SUVs DBX707, the DB12 Super Tourer, the dynamic Vantage, and the potent V12 flagship, Vanquish — will be available to experience on some of Northern California’s most engaging roads.

To culminate the week, Aston Martin will host its VIP guests at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance from Dawn Patrol through the Best in Show offering an exclusive vantage point to experience the world’s most revered Concours event.

Aston Martin Chief Commercial Officer, Jolyon Nash said: “Monterey Car Week is the perfect backdrop to celebrate Aston Martin’s 75th anniversary in the Americas. From bespoke creations such as the stunning Thrillseeker Collection, to the array of new sports cars and derivatives on display, alongside the much-anticipated Valhalla, this week exemplifies our commitment to craftsmanship, performance, and prestige, which will be on full display for the world’s most influential automotive enthusiasts and collectors.”

Thrillseeker Collection will be revealed on 15 August at The Quail: A Motorsports Gathering.

Freedom or safety for young drivers? UK can and must deliver both, says GEM 11/05/2026 SHARE: Images are for editorial use only. Experts gathering at Young Driver Focus in London on 13 May to press for action, not further delay Young drivers remain disproportionately at risk, with preventable deaths continuing on UK roads International evidence shows graduated driver licensing can cut crashes by up to 40% GEM Motoring Assist will return to the RAC Club, London, on 13 May as headline sponsor of Young Driver Focus 2026, renewing calls for decisive action to improve protection for newly-qualified drivers. Despite years of evidence and advocacy, the UK has yet to introduce a comprehensive system of graduated driver licensing (GDL) - a move GEM and other road safety groups say is costing young lives. GEM head of road safety James Luckhurst said: “We are long past the point of asking whether we should act. The evidence is overwhelming, and the consequences of delay are measured in lives lost and families devastated.” GDL is a phased approach that allows new drivers to gain experience under lower-risk conditions before progressing to full driving privileges. Common measures include limits on late-night driving and restrictions on carrying same-age passengers during the months after passing the test. International research consistently shows crash reductions of between 20% and 40% where GDL systems are in place. In some regions of Canada, reductions in young driver deaths have exceeded 80%. In the UK, drivers aged 17 to 24 account for around 20% of road deaths, despite making up just 7% of licence holders. Inexperience, distraction and overconfidence remain key risk factors - precisely the issues GDL is designed to address. GEM stresses that a well-designed system supports rather than penalises young people, and a recent TRL review1 found no significant negative impact on access to education, employment or social activity. GEM supports a system that extends structured learning, reduces known high-risk conditions and allows young drivers to build skills progressively and safely. GEM head of road safety James Luckhurst said: “We do many things well in the UK, particularly in driver training, but the current system offers too little structured support once someone passes the test. That’s where the real risk begins. “The choice is simple: continue with a system we know is failing too many young people, or take proven steps that will save lives. Doing nothing is not a neutral position - it is a decision with consequences… and Young Driver Focus offers a chance to translate the latest insight into real-world action.”
