Aston Martin releases DBS and V12 Vantage Carbon Black Editions

The Carbon Black Editions will come in a special hand-painted Carbon Black metallic paintjob, with Obsidian Black leather and silver stitching used on the interior. Use of carbon fibre and Kevlar seats contribute to shed 17kg, while there is also piano black trim inside.

Both cars also get a unique gloss black 10-spoke diamond turned alloy wheels while the V12 Vantage gets carbon fibre side strake over a black mesh vent, a bright finished grille and front parking sensors, as well as a standard 700w Premium Audio System, with its DBS counterpart equipped with a Bang & Olufsen Beosound DBS audio system.

Things remain unchanged under the hood though, with both cars being powered by a 6.0 litre V12 producing 510bhp. Buyers of both cars will also get to test their cars on a Performance Driving Course track day.
