Aston Martin is one of those manufacturers that has had to fend off mass produced cars and this year it has demonstrated that it is as agile as a small volume manufacturer and can react to market changes and demands. This year Aston Martin has created special limited editions of its DB9 to tailor fit its customers from around the world, it has produced the V12 Vantage Carbon Black, DBS Carbon Black, DBS UB2010 and the V8 Vantage N420. The special edition models started coming out of the factory in February of 2010 when the Carbon Black editions began. This was followed in March with a Works Tailored commission made by Aston Martin to celebrate CEO, Dr. Ulrich Bez's tenth anniversary at the helm of the marque in creating 40 limited edition UB-2010 Aston Martin DBSs. The Aston Martin V8 Vantage N420 limited edition was unveiled in July; it is a race influenced version of the V8 Vantage. The new Aston Martin Db9 Special Edition models include the Morning Frost, Carbon Black and Quantum Silver. The Morning Frost is a luxury specification, which gives the Aston Martin DB9 an extra sense of sophistication. It has a pearlescent white exterior with a befitting metallic bronze leather interior.
