Back to black for Aston Martin
THE colour has to be black if you want your new Aston Martin to be really special.
But an ordinary spray finish is hardly sufficient for the two extra-special models that have just been announced by the famous sports car firm.
Being launched to celebrate their success in the showrooms with standard paintwork, DBS and Vantage grand tourers are now available in a new finish called carbon black.
Needing an extra 50 man-hours of hand painting, the Black Edition models are expected to be available for delivery in March and will come with lightweight carbon fibre seats in black leather, piano black fascia trim and 10-spoke diamond-turned alloy wheels - also finished in black.
'Sales of these cars have surpassed all expectations and we want to celebrate. We think the special editions add a typically understated flair,' said a spokesman.
Prices have yet to be announced but are expected to add around five per cent to the cost of standard models which in the case of the DBS cost from £159,000.
