A look inside Q New York, Aston Martin’s new home in North America

Exclusive. Immersive. Q New York provides a thrilling entry into the world of Aston Martin. A one-of-a-kind showroom where Saville Row meets Park Avenue. Where English stately home meets smart technology. Where the digital realm blends seamlessly into the real world.


The first ultra-luxury flagship store brings the highest levels of the iconic British brand’s bespoke service, Q by Aston Martin, to North America. An epic, elegant and exquisite space to excite and inspire. To get the heart racing. The blood pumping. To showcase cars like DB12 the Aston Martin Valkyrie AMR Pro. To drive intensity and provide clients with the ultimate sanctuary. A secluded space to express themselves and bring their dream Aston Martin to life.

Champagne reception

Park Avenue. One of Manhattan’s most exclusive boulevards. Now home to Aston Martin. Clients are greeted by a window installation of epic proportions. The ‘Champagne Frame’. One of the largest single panes of glass ever installed into a New York building, but perhaps unnoticed by visitors. Because, on display, are some of the finest cars built for the road. Just metres from the street. Overhead, an illuminated 2,100-bulb chandelier, stretching 40m. So, light can flow as freely over the car’s surfaces as the air.

 



Q by Aston Martin

 

Beneath, the finest Italian marble. The markings of a Formula OneTM pit lane. A breath-taking space for hypercars featuring space-age engineering. Customers able to pull themselves away can head further inside Q New York towards ‘The Great Room’. Past Aston Martin Valkyrie. Past DB12. To a place where they can customise their own.


 

On the far wall, a screen so large, it looks like it’s another room. Before that, an intimate space. A dining table at which to sit and feed your senses. A more practical, but no less beautiful, parquet floor. A welcoming, calming fireplace. Every stitch. Every sinew. On hand to touch, to smell, and to bring to life. This is Q by Aston Martin’s beating heart. A place to personalise your Aston Martin beyond anything that currently exists. Distinctive colours, woods, metals and leathers. Specially designed by Aston Martin’s in-house bespoke division.

Technology to engage the senses

Time to make your dreams a reality. Place a sample on the table. Then watch it come to life in a photorealistic render on a 35ft by 10ft screen. Your own, personal magic show, courtesy of Near-Field Communication (NFC)tags and hidden sensors. Looking for advice and recommendations? It’s just as easily within reach. Direct video contact with the design team at Aston Martin’s headquarters in Gaydon, UK. Then, as your car moves into production, the ability to track your Aston Martin as it’s built and finished by hand.

Launch night

Cocktails. Esteemed guests. An exclusive DJ set. Q New York opened its doors in style. A party not just to celebrate the opening. To also mark Aston Martin’s 110th anniversary and to launch the new Aston Martin DB12, the world’s first super tourer, in North America. Guests were also treated to the sight of the bold, aggressive AMR23 Formula OneTM car display. Giving New Yorkers a glimpse of Aston Martin’s refined, improved and evolved race machine.
