While the names might allude to white carbon being used on the accessories, it’s a bit of a misnomer. Buyers will get to choose between a white or black Vanquish exotic while the parts stay the same for both packages: edition-specific carbon fiber trim on the mirror caps, front and rear bumpers, door handles and fender vents. In addition, the Carbon Edition models are outfitted with 10-spoke wheels in gloss black.
Those looking for even more customization can choose between gray, red or yellow brake calipers. Inside, Aston Martin also packs the Vanquish with plenty of carbon fiber in the center console, sill plates and shift paddles. The Aston Martin Vanquish Carbon retains the factory specifications of 568 hp and 465 lb-ft of torque from a 6.0-liter V12 engine.
