It’s only a month since the 2015 Aston Martin Vanquish (and Vanquish Volante) were revealed with a series of updates that manage to turn the Vanquish in to a much more appealing car.

That new appeal is mainly down to AML finally ditching their ancient six-speed auto ‘box and replacing it with a new 8-Speed ZF ‘box – which cleverly sits inside the old housing – increasing performance, drivability and economy in one fell swoop.

The Vanquish now gets to 62mph in a very respectable 3.8 seconds and can top 200mph, despite which official economy improves to 31mpg (more like 16mpg in the real world).

So what better way to get the revised Vanquish front and centre than a new limited edition model? Step forward the new Aston Martin Vanquish Carbon Edition.

The Carbon Edition Vanquish is available as a Coupe or Volante – in Carnon white or Carbon Black – with 2-” 10-spoke gloss black alloys, black headlight detailing and black side window surrounds.

Inside there’s quilted leather for the door cards and seats, herringbone-pattern carbon fibre and black anodised grills fo the B&O sound system’s speakers.

Aston are planning to roll out the Vanquish Carbon Edition at the Paris Motor Show next month, with deliveries to start soon after at prices starting at £199,995 for the Carbon edition Coupe.
