A singular expression of performance and artistry, the one-off Wave Edition transforms Florida’s coastal inspiration into a convertible masterpiece for charity.
A Coastal Masterpiece in Motion
Aston Martin Naples has unveiled the Vanquish Volante Wave Edition, a one-of-a-kind luxury convertible commissioned through the brand’s bespoke personalization service, Q by Aston Martin. This exceptional creation made its debut at the 2026 Naples Winter Wine Festival on 31 January 2026, where it was auctioned exclusively to benefit the Naples Children & Education Foundation (NCEF).
Design Inspired by Florida’s Shores
The Wave Edition is a study in contrasts: its exterior brims with energy and motion, while the interior exudes serenity and clarity. Designers drew inspiration from Collier County’s pristine coastline, translating the rhythm and reflection of water into every detail. The exterior is finished in Q Iridescent Sapphire, a luminous blue with a subtle green shimmer reminiscent of Florida Bay’s waves, complemented by gloss black tinted carbon fibre packages that accentuate the car’s sculpted silhouette.
Wave-Formed Detailing and Bespoke Livery
A bespoke Club Sport White livery, running across the gloss black carbon fibre, evokes waves breaking against the shore. Wave-inspired pinstripes adorn the bonnet’s Formula 1®-inspired Thermos Louvres, side fenders, and rear shield, while red brake calipers subtly nod to coastal buoys. The V12 logo in white on the sidestrakes adds a final signature touch.
Serene and Sophisticated Interior
Inside, the cabin reverses the exterior’s dynamism into a calm, light-filled space. Glacier White leather paired with gloss black carbon fibre detailing sets a serene tone, punctuated by pale blue contrast stitching in a bespoke wave motif on headrests and sill plaques. Aston Martin Wings are embroidered into the shoulder bolsters, while a red anodized start/stop rotary subtly recalls the exterior’s coastal accents.
Vittorio Gabba, Commercial Head of Q Operations at Aston Martin, explains: “The Vanquish Volante Wave Edition is a sculpture in motion, embodying the beauty and dynamism of water while delivering the pulse-quickening performance that defines Aston Martin. This one-off commission channels the spirit of Florida’s coastline through the artistry and craftsmanship of Q by Aston Martin.”
Performance that Commands the Road
Beneath its sculpted bonnet, the Vanquish Volante houses a twin-turbocharged 5.2-litre V12 engine, producing 835PS (824bhp) and 1000Nm (738lb-ft) of torque. This formidable power allows the convertible to accelerate from 0–62mph in just 3.4 seconds, reaching a top speed of 214mph. Its meticulously engineered roof opens in 14 seconds and closes in 16, operable at speeds up to 31mph, combining breathtaking performance with timeless elegance.
A Singular Collector’s Item for a Cause
Offered exclusively at the 2026 Naples Winter Wine Festival, all proceeds from the auction will support the NCEF, an organization dedicated to transforming the lives of underprivileged children in Collier County. Since its inception in 2001, the festival has raised over $336 million for children in need.
The Wave Edition Vanquish Volante is a testament to Aston Martin’s enduring commitment to artistry, performance, and philanthropy—a true collectible for the discerning enthusiast.
