Aston Martin DBS Carbon Edition
Since the original Carbon Black edition of the Aston Martin DBS was so popular back in the 2009, Aston Martin have decided to go for it again, but with two new colours added to the original black version. The new colours are Flame Orange and Ceramic Grey. The new paint is set to look stunning too as each new Carbon Edition DBS gets 7 layers of paint followed up by a 25 hour polishing process that will leave the finish on the car as shiny as glass.

| In keeping with the carbon black theme though there are some styling flourishes that just feel right on this edition of the car. The first of these is a nice black grille. There are also Zircotec coated black taolpipes at the rear that look absolutely fantastic. There are also exclusive 10 spoke black diamond turned wheels with an optional gloss black finish available too. |

| Aston haven’t forgotten about the interior of the DBS Carbon Edition either as there is the choice of Obsidian Black or Madagascar Orange semi-aniline leather, as well as a quilted leather headliner which finishes off the cabin to envelope you in luxury. Each interior of a Carbon Edition DBS takes 70 plus man hours to hand stitch. It also probably goes without saying that there are carbon fibre touches everywhere. |
| |
| So, for a £6k premium over the standard DBS, you get a fantastic new paint job, some extra bits of carbon fibre and some extra bits of hand stitched leather – oh, and a dodgy looking badge on the door sill that says ‘Carbon’ on it. Is it worth it? Quite frankly yes. The extra little bits and pieces simply are the finishing touches to an Aston Martin masterpiece. |
