Luxist Drives the Aston Martin DBS Carbon Black and Rediscovers Faith

We'll admit right now that we have never been completely taken with the Aston Martin DBS. It wasn't that we didn't like it - on the contrary, it is every bit the fabulous car. It's just that we found the DBS slightly... too much, in the same way you could have too much pampering or too much caviar. Even as you're finding the words to decline the next round of Beluga you're thinking "Wow, can't believe I'm about to give this the stiffarm, but..." It is all about the fact that the DB9, to our eyes, is just right. Nothing needs to be added to it, and as fabulous as the DBS is, it marks the addition of that not-needed something.

Then the DBS Carbon Black came for a visit, so now you can consider this our about-face: the DBS – rather, this DBS – is our first choice in Astons, so much so that we'd only look at the others after driving this one into some shallow, oily grave and then giving up on hopes for its resurrection.

Destined for exclusivity, many of us might not normally have the opportunity to behold the Aston Martin DBS Carbon Black edition. Based on the top-of-the-line GT that serves as James Bond's ride of choice, the Carbon Black edition features a unique black paint process designed to deflect the light at different angles, plus lightweight carbon-Kevlar seats draped in black leather with silver stitching, piano black trim, special wheels and more.

The Carbon Black edition also comes equipped with a 13-speaker, 1000-watt premium audio system from Bang & Olufsen. Now the Scandinavian audio firm is taking a pair of DBS Carbons on a coast-to-coast tour of the United States, hitting New York, LA, Chicago, Dallas, San Francisco, Washington and Miami along the way. So if you want to check it out and live near one of these major metropolitan centers, call your local Aston dealer to find out when you can stop by.
