Aston Martin has prepared no fewer than three special editions for next month’s Geneva Motor Show.
First there’s the V8 Vantage N430, available in coupe and roadster body styles and powered by an upgraded 4.7-liter V8 engine delivering 436 hp at 7,300 rpm. Thanks to the boost in power, this model goes from 0 to 62 mph in 4.6 seconds, and can reach a top speed of 190 mph. Output is delivered to the rear axle with help from a sport-tuned six-speed manual transmission or an optional close-ratio seven-speed SportShift II automated manual gearbox.
The V8 Vantage is equipped with graphite forged alloys as well as a black look for the headlamp bezels, front grille, side window surrounds and exterior meshes. As for the interior, it features machined sill plaques, black magnesium paddle shifts, carbon fiber gearshift surround and several leather upholstery options. Customers with money to spare can also add a 1,000-watt Bang & Olufsen BeoSound audio system.
Then there are the DB9 Carbon Black and Carbon White special editions which come, as you’d expect given their names, with dark and white themes combined with several carbon fiber components. The 6.0-liter V12 engine they’re fitted with produces 517 hp and 457 lb-ft of torque.
As for the price, the V8 Vantage starts off at 89,995 GBP (or about $150,000), while for the other two, pricing details are only available upon request at one of their dealers.
