AM working also on updated DBS (YM2011)

Aston Martin is not only working on changes for the DB9, but also for the DBS. On the photos shown, a new front bumper is evident and it is expected that new accessories will be available.

According to Autocar, "the Vantage doesn't escape the tweaks, either. Aston has an internal project, called VH114, that's designed to upgrade both its entry-level model and the DB9/DBS to keep ahead of changes to legislation on everything from emissions to pedestrian impact protection".

First Aston Martin dealership opens in Greece

Aston Martin is seeking growth in new markets and as part of the company�s ongoing expansion plans, Aston Martin has entered into Croatia, Czech Republic, Taiwan, Sweden, Poland and Greece with plans to open in Brazil, Chile, and South Korea. 

The dealership in Greece has opened a few days ago and there are four cars in the showroom - a DBS, a DB9, a V8 Vantage and a V8 Vantage Roadster. Unfortunately, since I took those shots on Sunday, the dealership was closed, but I will try to make another visit soon and take some shots from the inside.

Horror: AM DBS tyres stolen after being jacked up on bricks...

"An Aston Martin DBS lies on bricks after having three tyres and their alloys stolen. It appears the thieves were rumbled as they started taking off the fourth tyre in London's exclusive Eaton Square in Mayfair.

The bill for the incident has been estimated by an Aston Martin expert as being potentially �30,000. Replacing the wheels and tyres alone could cost up to �4,500, the body repair work might be �3,500 and the damage that has almost certainly been done to the brake pads by not being suspended above the ground could cost �20,000 to repair."

Aston Martin launches Carbon Black editions


 
 
 
Celebrating the enormous success of the DBS and V12 Vantage which have surpassed all sales expectations since launch, the new special editions add a typically understated flair to these acclaimed models. Featuring bespoke Carbon Black metallic paint especially formulated with a subtle metallic twist to create a deep rich patina. Each car will undergo 50 man-hours of hand painting followed by stringent quality checks. For the V12 Vantage the iconic Aston Martin side strake has been fashioned from real carbon fibre backed by a black mesh and complimented with gloss black 10 spoke diamond turned alloy wheels. A bright finished grille and front parking sensors (normally an option) complete the exterior detailing.

Inside, owners will be greeted to swathes of Obsidian Black leather highlighted with a contrast silver coarse stitch all hand stitched by the craftspeople at Gaydon � Aston Martin�s global headquarters in England.

Lightweight seats formed from Carbon Fibre and Kevlar saving 17 kg over the standard seat also feature together with Piano black facia trim, centre stack and centre console, anodised black tread plates and unique sill plaques build on the carbon theme. The Aston Martin 700w Premium Audio System is delivered as standard in the V12 Vantage while the DBS boasts the Bang & Olufsen Beosound DBS audio system as standard.

Customers who order a Carbon Black Edition V12 Vantage will have the opportunity to experience Aston Martin�s renowned Performance Driving Course (UK and Europe only) free of charge which offers a memorable day helping customers to equip themselves with the skill sets to enhance the enjoyment of their Aston Martin on the track.

The Carbon Black Editions are available to order from the official Aston Martin dealership network now with final pricing (expected to be approximately 5% over current base prices) to be confirmed in the New Year with deliveries to commence from March.
