By a Gen Z car lover, for the Gen Z dreamers.
Monterey Car Week – Aston Martin’s Collection | There’s something about the Monterey coastline that feels like a memory you haven’t made yet. The salt in the air, the way the light shifts from foggy dawn to golden dusk… it’s cinematic, it’s visceral, and it’s exactly what Aston Martin has bottled into its new Thrillseeker Collection! Unveiled at the 2025 Monterey Car Week, this trio of bespoke convertibles isn’t just a celebration of 75 years in the Americas. It’s a moodboard for every Gen Z soul craving speed, style, and storytelling.
Let’s dive into each model, not just by spec… but by soul…
Vantage Roadster in Mako Blue: The Dawn Rebel
Color: Mako Blue
Engine: 4.0L twin-turbo V8 (670 hp, 590 lb-ft)
Vibe: Morning fog, quiet rebellion, first light freedom
Just a car? From the vibe of this beauty, it’s the feeling of waking up before the world does. The Vantage Roadster in Mako Blue channels the hush of dawn over Carmel Bay, with a paint job that whispers rather than shouts. It’s for the Gen Z driver who finds poetry in solitude, who wants their car to match their playlist of Lo-Fi beats and sunrise drives.
Bronze wheels and side strakes add warmth, like the first rays of sun hitting the pavement. And yes, it comes with a matching luggage set, because even rebels need to pack light.
DB12 Volante in Seychelles Blue: The Midday Muse
Color: Seychelles Blue
Engine: 4.0L twin-turbo V8 (670 hp, 590 lb-ft)
Vibe: Golden hour glam, coastal confidence, curated chaos
The DB12 Volante is the extrovert of the trio. Seychelles Blue is not just a color! It’s a statement. It’s the kind of hue that turns heads on Pacific Coast Highway and makes you feel like you’re starring in your own music video.
This model is for the Gen Z creator, the one who lives for spontaneous road trips and sunset reels. It’s got the same power as the Vantage, but with a grand tourer’s grace. Think of it as your mobile studio, your rolling sanctuary, your midday muse.
Vanquish Volante in Ultramarine Black: The Dusk Icon
Color: Ultramarine Black
Engine: 5.2L twin-turbo V12 (824 hp, 737 lb-ft)
Vibe: After-dark drama, cinematic power, unapologetic luxury
If the Vantage is a whisper and the DB12 a shout, the Vanquish Volante is a thunderclap. Ultramarine Black is deep, mysterious, and magnetic, like the ocean at dusk. This is the car you drive when you want to feel everything at once: the roar of the V12, the pulse of the road, the weight of your own ambition.
It’s for the Gen Z dreamer who’s done playing small. The one who knows that luxury isn’t about price, it’s about presence. And with 824 horsepower, this car doesn’t just arrive. It announces.
Why Gen Z Should Care
We’re not just here for horsepower, we’re here for meaning. Aston Martin’s Thrillseeker Collection is a masterclass in emotional design. Each model is a chapter in a story about place, time, and feeling. It’s what happens when heritage meets heart, when performance meets poetry.
And yes, only nine units exist..! They’re already sold..! But that’s not the point..
The point is that this collection shows what’s possible when a brand listens to its soul, and to ours. It’s a reminder that cars can be more than machines. They can be metaphors. They can be mirrors.
The Last Look in the Rearview
To every Gen Z car lover out there: the Thrillseeker Collection is proof that our generation’s love for storytelling, symbolism, and aesthetic depth is shaping the future of luxury. These aren’t just cars.. they’re characters… And Monterey Car Week 2025 was their stage.
So whether you’re manifesting your first convertible or just dreaming in color, remember: the road is yours. And it’s never looked more beautiful.
Bonus from me to your general knowledge: The Valhalla Debut
While the Thrillseeker trio stole hearts, Aston Martin also unveiled the production-ready Valhalla, a 1,064-hp plug-in hybrid supercar that’s basically the “Son of Valkyrie”. It’s mid-engined, F1-inspired, and built for those who want hypercar performance with daily usability.
It’s not part of the Thrillseeker Collection, but it’s part of the same ethos: daring design, emotional impact, and unapologetic innovation.
