Aston Martin is set to unveil two new special edition models of the DB9 and the V8 Vantage at the Geneva Motor Show next month.

The first of the new models, the V8 Vantage N430, is available in both coupe and roadster form and features a range of improvements including new forged alloy wheels, a new black front grille, headlamp bezels, exterior meshes, side window surrounds and textured tailpipe finishers. On the inside, there are Kevlar seats, magnesium paddle shifters and a raft of carbon-fibre tweaks.

Under the bonnet, the N430 is fitted with the 403bhp version of the 4.7-litre V8 engine previously found in the V8 Vantage S. 0-60mph takes 4.6 seconds and flat out the N430 will do 190mph.

The power is sent to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual gearbox, with a close-ratio seven-speed automated manual transmission available as an option.

Prices for the V8 Vantage N430 will start from £89,995 when it goes on sale in the UK in September.

Also on show in Geneva will be the new DB9 Carbon Black and Carbon White special editions which come with a range of carbon-fibre cosmetic tweaks and contrasting paint finishes. Available in both Coupe and Volante bodystyles, the DB9 Carbon Black and Carbon White are both powered by the same 510bhp 6.0-litre V12 found in the standard DB9.

Prices for the DB9 Carbon Black and White are available on application at any Aston Martin dealership. Expect a price hike over the standard car's £133,080 starting price.
