Aston Martin Reveals Two New Special Edition Cars
Aston Martin plans to show two special edition models during the Geneva Motor Show next month.
Available in coupe and roadster form, the V8 Vantage N430 gets the more powerful version of the 4.7-liter V8 that previously offered 430 hp in the Vantage S. Aston will offer the car with a six-speed manual transmission as standard equipment although a close-ratio automated manual with a shorter final drive is also available. The car should be able to jump from 0-60 mph in 4.6 seconds.

Carbon fiber body trim and 10-spoke alloy wheels are also part of the package. Inside, the car gets magnesium paddle shifters, kevlar seats and carbon fiber trim pieces among other items. There is also an optional 1,000-watt Bang and Olufsen sound system.
The exterior paint scheme is meant as a nod to the CC100 Speedster concept.
Alongside the car mentioned above, there will also be “Carbon Black” and “Carbon White” versions of the DB9. They come with 20-inch wheels, a carbon fiber splitter, diffuser and mirror caps.
