Aston Martin Releases Carbon Black Versions of the V12 Vantage and DBS


Rather than unveil another Toyota in Aston Martin digs, Aston Martin has released limited-edition versions of the V12 Vantage and DBS. The Carbon Black V12 Vantage and DBS are painted in a Carbon Black metallic paint especially formulated with a subtle metallic twist to create a deep rich patina. Each car requires 50 man-hours of paint time.
Inside the seats are made from carbon fiber and Kevlar saving 17 kg over the standard seat. The seats are covered in Obsidian Black leather with silver stitching and the dashboard and center console trims are finished in piano black.
The Carbon Black Editions of the V12 Vantage and DBS are expected to cost 5% more than the regular versions.
