At the 80th Geneva Autosalon, Aston Martin will present the world debut of the V12 Vantage Carbon Black Edition, a new bespoke service; Works Service Tailored and the new DBS UB-2010.
V12 Vantage Carbon Black Edition
The first V12 Vantage Carbon Black Edition is displayed on this year’s show stand celebrating the enormous success of the V12 Vantage which has surpassed all sales expectations since launch. The new special edition adds a typically understated flair to this acclaimed model. Featuring bespoke Carbon Black metallic paint especially formulated with a subtle metallic twist to create a deep rich patina; each car will undergo 50 man-hours of hand painting followed by stringent quality checks. The iconic Aston Martin side strake has been fashioned from carbon fibre backed by a black mesh and complimented with gloss black 10 spoke diamond turned alloy wheels. A bright finished grille and front parking sensors (normally an option) complete the exterior detailing. Each Carbon Black is bestowed with a carbon fibre sill plaque etched with V12 Vantage Carbon Black in stainless steel.
