KUALA LUMPUR: Aston Martin Kuala Lumpur today announced the introduction of a new vaned grille option for Vantage that adds a classic tone to the car.
It is the first Vantage with the new optional front grille in Malaysia.
In 2020, Aston Martin announced the new grille style to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the Vantage nameplate. The vaned grille, seen on many legendary Aston Martins, has become a design feature of the marque and is now available for Vantage.
This customised unit in Liquid Crimson paintwork was sold to Datuk Idrus Mohd Satha, the founder of several local educational institutions.
It's priced from RM851,000, a RM173,000 premium over the regular Vantage (prices exclude duties and taxes).
Aston Martin Kuala Lumpur said two units of Vantage with the vaned grille would be arriving soon. Subsequently, there will be a minimum waiting period of eight months.
The vaned front grille offers a softer and more refined front-end choice in comparison to the standard aggressive and muscular Vantage design that Aston Martin Kuala Lumpur launched in 2018.
Featuring five horizontal vanes, it also includes a more subtle bumper and splitter design to work in harmony with the new vaned front grille.
The vaned front grille can be specified in either of the two colour options; silver or black, to complement the aesthetic and match the other trim choices available on the exterior of the Vantage models.
Aside from the new front grille, the Vantage Liquid Crimson also features the newly introduced options by Aston Martin Lagonda this year – with the Black Wings Badges and the 20” Snowflake Wheel.
The new wheels are 6.23kg lighter than the standard cast wheels. Added with the exterior black package (black painted front grille, mirror caps, roof panel, window surround finisher, rear diffuser Insert and blades), it injects an extra boost of energy to its sportiness.
The exterior paint colour, Liquid Crimson, is deep and luxurious, emphasising the passion behind the Aston Martin brand.
The liquid-like quality of this lustrous colour highlights every body feature, and accentuates every line and flatters every curve.
Aston Martin is renowned for its leather and Vantage Liquid Crimson’s interior features the Caithness leather.
Caithness leather is a high-end, soft and natural product choice to create a luxury interior.
The key to this luxury feel is milling which is a softening process when manufacturing leather – the longer the leather is milled, the softer and more luxurious the leather will feel.
The leathers are available in either monotone or duotone split pattern. Vantage Liquid Crimson’s interior features duotone environment, with the combination of Obsidian Black and Lords Red.
It highlights the beautiful curves of Vantage’s interior environment.
