Exclusivity is just as vital as opulence and performance in the world of luxury performance cars and Aston Martin Kuala Lumpur has just introduced 2 ultra-exclusive editions of its Vantage, the Iron Wolf and Midnight Viper.
How exclusive you might be wondering? Well, thereās only 1 of each edition.
The Vantage Iron Wolf is the one shrouded in the green-ish hue of Titanium Grey. In fact, this is the first time in Aston Martin Kuala Lumpur history for such unique colour specifications.
Further accentuating the gorgeous lines of the Vantage Iron Wolf is the vaned front grille, taken from the Vantage F1 Edition, as well as the new 20-inch wheels design in Gloss Black. The striking Blacked-out Diamond Turned wheels are designed to enhance the stance and presence of the Vantage Iron Wolf.
The driver-focused cockpit provides a truly immersive experience. Controls like the new designed sport-oriented gearshift paddles are optimally positioned. Likewise, the gear selection buttons are uniquely placed in the centre console, with the Aston Martin Audio System, 8-inch LCD screen and integrated satellite navigation all impressively reconfigured around the driver. The monotone Onyx Black environment suggests an exciting pleasure of driving related to the heritage of the brand.
Thereās also an interior jewellery package, comprising a Satin Silver and Gloss Black finish.
Draped in darkness next to it, the Vantage Midnight Viper strikes a stark contrast to the mellowed hue of the Iron Wolf with its menacing stance and neon highlights.
The custom Vantage combines an Ultramarine Black exterior with Lime Essence highlights to perfectly complement its aggressively sculptured form, an unmistakable athletic predatory stance.
The choice of the exterior paint colour and wheel design was inspired by the characteristics of a Viper, stealthy in appearance, and vicious when it strikes. Creating depth in the Ultramarine Black paint is a black base coat with a blue metallic flake.
Combined with the 20-inch Character Wheels in Gloss Black, the Midnight Viper Edition truly embodies its powerful and provocative nature.
The interior is one of absolute focus and functionality, identical to the Iron Wolf right down to the Onyx Black monotone environment and the Satin Silver with Gloss Black finish.
Under the hood, both are still powered by the same nuclear powerplant of an engine from the base Vantage. That will be a 4.0-litre bi-turbo V8
Engine: All alloy, quad overhead camshaft, 32 valve, 4.0 litre bi-turbo V8 making 503 PS and 685 Nm of torque, spinning the rear wheels via an 8-speed automatic. Itāll do the century sprint in 3.6 seconds and will top out at 314 kph.
Pricing for the regular Vantage, if you can even call it that, starts at RM 778,000. The Vantage Iron Wolf will set you back RM 844,000 while the Vantage Midnight Viper is priced from RM 861,000 with a 5-year warranty and servicing plan. All prices prices stated are excluding duties and taxes.
āBetter late than never.ā Some despise it, others begrudgingly agree with it but he swears by itā¦ much to the chagrin of everyone around him. That unfortunately stems from all of his project cars not running most of the time, which in turn is testament to his questionable decision-making skills in life. A culmination of many wrongs fortunately making a right; much like his project cars on the rare occasions they run, heās still trying to figure out if another project car is the way to go.
