It seems that the 4.7 Special Edition wasn’t the only thing that Aston Martin had up its sleeve, as the British mark has just released a batch of photos and info on the DBS Carbon Editions for both the coupe and convertible, which will be shown in Frankfurt tomorrow.
The models will be available in two new colors including Flame Orange and Ceramic Grey together with the existing Carbon Black that dates back to 2009’s Carbon Black Edition. “Each DBS will undergo Aston Martin’s unique paint process receiving seven layers of paint together with a 25 hour hand flat-and-polish finish resulting in a glass veneer normally the reserve of jewelery production. A first for Aston Martin is the option to specify a satin lacquer paint finish, creating a silk-like texture,” the manufacturer states.
That sound expensive, doesn’t it? And it is: DBS Carbon Edition prices start at £186,582 (€257,912/$287,576) for the coupe and £196,581 (€272,913/$302,576) for the Volante with customer deliveries expected from quarter one 2012.
For that kind of money, you also get a new set of 10-spoke gloss black diamond turned wheels with a reversed diamond turned or full gloss black finish as an option. Black brake calipers will be standard with yellow, orange, red or gray as an option.
Sounds a bit dry, right? But what sets this apart from your regular 517 horsepower DBS is the carbon fiber fascia with a carbon weave that has been positioned exactly to follow the form of the dashboard. Aston says that only by hand can the fibers be laid to create a perfectly aligned weave, and we have to take their word for it.
