Aston Martin chose to announce the new DB9 'Carbon Edition' a few weeks prior to the 2014 Geneva Motor Show and was a new twist on the theme that started with the DBS and V12 Vantage Carbon Edition models back in 2010. The new special edition was available with either Carbon Black II or Stratus White coachwork with minimal adornment.

Both the interior and exterior of this example of the definitive modern GT features subtle carbon fibre detailing delivering the timeless elegance of the iconic DB9 further enhanced to express its proven high-performance credentials. The unique carbon fibre details include side strakes, front splitter, rear diffuser, mirrors, rear lamp infills, carbon fibre facia trim and carbon fibre sill plaques.

These cars were mechanically identical to the standard DB9, powered by the same 510bhp 6.0-litre 48V V12 AM11 specification engine and 6-speed Touchtronic 2 automatic transmission. This powerful combination offers 0-62mph in only 4.6 seconds and a 183-mph top speed. The 'Carbon Edition' Coupé was circa £140,000 when new in 2015.

The car presented here is a 2015 Aston Martin DB9 6.0 V12 'Carbon Edition' Coupé, which our vendor bought four years ago via the Aston Martin Approved scheme, being impressed with its overall condition and service history. Indeed, its condition is exceptional, something our vendor has sought to maintain, and its servicing (full details are available) has been entirely carried out by Aston Martin, which is hugely encouraging and deserves the recognition of a manufacturer's warranty until August 2026 (this won't, however, come with the car). Having covered a conservative 44,000 miles, this highly specified car (full details are available) now offers a very realistic route into Aston Martin ownership, being sensibly guided, and in retail-ready condition. With a full Aston Martin service history, a complete bookpack, and all keys, this dramatic British sportscar 'cuts quite a dash' in comparison to other more generic (and commonly-seen) examples in this price-bracket. You will not be disappointed.
