Aston Martin displayed the V12 Vantage Carbon Black Edition along with the Cygnet and the limited edition DBS UB-2010 in Geneva. Aston also showcased its Works Service Tailored division that allows customers almost infinite personalisation.
This V12 Vantage Carbon Black Edition comes with Carbon Black metallic paint finish that Aston Martin says takes 50 man hours to complete. The exterior also features carbon fibre side strakes along with gloss black 10-spoke diamond turned alloy wheels and an updated grille and front parking sensors.
Aston Martin Works Service showcased two cars at this year's Geneva motor show, the first of which is a Magma Red Rapide that features a 'Cryptic Titan' facia and personalised door finishers. The second car on show is a DB9 that has been given Blue Pearl white paint, coupled with gun metal exterior metal work. The interior is fitted with Blue Gin Leather and African Walnut wood.
A limited edition of the DBS is also on show at Geneva. Titled the DBS UB-2010, the car commemorates Dr. Ulrich Bez's 10th year as Chief Executive of Aston Martin. There will be a limited run of 40 DBS UB-2010s, comprising of 20 Coupés and 20 Volantes. Each car will be given the Works Service Tailored treatment and Dr. Bez will personally sign-off each individual car. Along with Dr. Bez's signature, the customer will receive 'Azurite Black' paint, while the interior has been fitted with metallic bronze leather with woven leather seat inserts.
The Aston Martin Cygnet is also on show. This small Toyota iQ-based city car is only available to buy if you currently own an Aston Martin. The reasoning behind this decision is to allow Aston Martin customers to travel short distances with all the luxuries they have in their more expensive first car, but in an easy to park and efficient car. Prices for the Cygnet are rumoured to be around £20,000.
Prices for all the cars on show in Geneva will be given at a later date.
