It was recently announced that the Aston Martin Vantage will continue to be Formula 1's official safety car. Inspired by the one-of-a-kind Formula 1 safety car, the Vantage F1 Edition has a number of aerodynamic improvements over the standard model. The vehicle can provide 200kg of additional grip at maximum speed by improving high-speed stability with its underbody improvements and huge rear wing. The Vantage F1 Edition is available in metallic and satin versions, with 3 color options, including "Racing Green". “Racing Green” is a specially chosen color that was created as a result of different color trials.
