The news in the new Aston Martin DBS Carbon Edition is in the styling, starting with swathes of exotic carbon fibre sheathing the DBS aluminum chassis and popping up in the details. On the outside, it’s seven coats of specially formulated, mildly metallic paint, and 25 hours of polishing, in Flaming Orange, Ceramic Grey or Black. TheĀ obsidian black or maranello orange semi-aniline leather interior requires 70 more hours for hand-stitching and finishing.

Available as coupe or convertible, starting at $287,576. Autoshow walkthrough videos, below…
