Styled to evoke thoughts of the track, the N430 celebrates Aston Martin’s sporting heritage and motor sport success.
Aston Martin’s second offering is the new DB9 Carbon; available as Carbon Black and Carbon White. Style and visual drama are the special edition’s hallmarks as they perfectly emphasis the timeless GT’s sporting nature. These new Carbon editions accentuate the DB9’s 6.0-litre V12 potential through a strong dark theme underpinned by a unique combination of lightweight carbon fibre features. Striking exterior additions for both Carbon Black and Carbon White editions include carbon fibre side skirts and black window surrounds, reinforcing the powerful visual themes. Of course, these styling changes don’t alter the DB9’s inherent grand touring capabilities; qualities that make it one of the world’s most admired and desired GT.
