IAA 2011: Aston Martin DBS Carbon Edition Specials



Aston Martin is heading to the Frankfurt Motor Show with two new Carbon Edition DBS sports cars that build on the 2009 special editionof the same name and model series.

The latest DBS Carbon Edition will be offered in two new hues including Flame Orange and Ceramic Grey together with the existing Carbon Black.

The British automaker says the special edition DBS models feature a unique paint process that involves seven layers of paint together with a 25-hour hand flat-and-polish finish, while as an option, buyer will be able to specify a satin lacquer paint finish that is said to create a silk-like texture.

Aside from the bespoke exterior finishes and as the car's name suggests, the special DBS gains several carbon fibre parts and accessories including the exterior mirror caps, the tail lamp fill-ins, front apron, rear diffuser and cabin trim.

Other exterior highlights include the 10-spoke gloss black diamond turned wheels with a reversed diamond turned or full gloss black finish as an option, black brake calipers as standard with yellow, orange, red or grey as an option, a black colored front grille and smoked headlamps.

Inside, the DBS Carbon Edition is treated with hand-stitched leather upholstery and headlining plus magnesium alloy steering wheel paddles tipped with carbon fibre.

Pricing for the DBS Carbon Edition starts at £186,582 (€257,912/$287,576) for the coupe and £196,581 (€272,913/$302,576) for the open-top Volante with first deliveries expected in the first quarter of 2012.
