The Aston Martin Vanquish Carbon Is A Spectacularly Beautiful Special Edition

Sometimes, special edition cars are little more than a handful of added aesthetic trinkets, coupled to a price hike. That’s pretty much all this Aston Martin Vanquish Carbon Edition is, but in this case we don’t care, as the visual tweaks have made an already handsome car even prettier, and it looks fantastic in these wonderfully moody official shots.

It can be purchased in either ‘Carbon White’ or ‘Carbon Black,’ has black window surrounds, a splash of new brake calliper paint, and a set of 10-spoke, gloss black alloy wheels. On the inside, there’s a Bang & Olufsen sound system with black anodised speaker grilles, Herringbone carbonfibre trim in various places, and quilted leather trim.

The 6.0-litre V12 under the bonnet remains unchanged, but with 565bhp on tap, it’s probably powerful enough for most already.

The car will make its debut at the Paris motor show, and will set you back £199,995 - about £7000 more than the regular Vanquish.
