Monterey Car Week has always been about more than speed.
It is where heritage, design, rarity and performance meet—and for 2026, Aston Martin is leaning firmly into that spirit with three special-edition DB12 S models created to command attention.


The trio takes the already formidable character of the DB12 S and pushes it into more exclusive territory, pairing the marque’s unmistakable British design language with the craftsmanship and individuality expected at one of the world’s most prestigious automotive gatherings.
Each car is designed to stand apart, not through spectacle alone, but through detail.
That distinction matters.
At Monterey, where collectors are surrounded by icons from every era, exclusivity is measured as much by rarity and execution as it is by horsepower. Aston Martin’s approach reflects exactly that—offering three interpretations of the DB12 S that feel tailored for an audience that values provenance, design and individuality.
The DB12 S itself sits at the sharper end of Aston Martin’s grand touring philosophy, blending high performance with the elegance the marque has long been known for. In special-edition form, that formula becomes even more compelling.
These are not simply cars built to arrive.
They are built to be remembered.
And against the backdrop of Monterey Car Week, where the automotive world gathers to celebrate its most exceptional machines, Aston Martin’s three-of-a-kind statement feels perfectly placed.
Rare, refined and unmistakably Aston Martin.
