The final edition of Aston Martin’s flagship V12-powered DBS grand touring car, the DBS Carbon Edition was produced between 2011 and 2012 offering unique body colors, 10-spoke diamond-turned wheels, carbon fiber trim, quilted leather headlining, and a special edition sill plaque. This 2012 Aston Martin DBS Coupe is one of only 84 Carbon Editions produced and is finished in Flame Orange over Obsidian Black leather upholstery. It features a 6-speed Touchtronic 2 automatic transmission, carbon ceramic disc brakes, an Adaptive Damping System (ADS), heated power seats, a Bang & Olufsen sound system, parking sensors, an optional crystal key fob, aftermarket Quicksilver Exhausts SuperSport mufflers, a secondary cat-bypass, and black vinyl exterior accents. The was sold new in Virginia at an original sticker price of over $295k and was acquired by the seller in 2024. Showing approximately 32k miles on the odometer, this DBS Carbon Edition is now being offered for auction out of California.
The DBS Carbon Edition was offered in three unique paint colors and distinguished by a black front grille, carbon fiber mirror caps, carbon fiber rear lamp inserts, smoked taillight lenses, and black tailpipe finishers. This example is said to be one of only 13 cars finished in Flame Orange and features custom black vinyl accents on the fender vents, window surrounds, and trunk lid trim. Equipment includes swan-wing doors, a vented bonnet, carbon fiber front splitters, a carbon fiber rear diffuser, front and rear parking sensors, power-folding mirrors, gloss black brake calipers, and 20” 10-spoke wheels in an optional gloss black reverse diamond-turned finish. The tires show 2021 production date codes and have been driven for approximately 5k miles. The seller notes some rock chips on the front end and that factory-installed paint protection film covers the mirror caps and rear quarter panels. Detailed images are provided in the gallery along with a clean CARFAX report.
The 2+2 interior is appointed with Obsidian Black semi-aniline leather upholstery, a quilted leather headliner, contrasting orange stitching, and carbon fiber and piano black trim accents. Accessories include heated and power-adjustable front seats with memory settings, a three-spoke leather steering wheel with paddle shifters, aluminum pedals, an engine start button, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, automatic climate control, cruise control, a satellite navigation system, and a Bang & Olufsen BeoSound audio system with anodized black speaker grilles. The seller notes some wrinkles and lifting on the leather dashboard upholstery.
Producing up to 510 HP, the naturally aspirated 5.9-liter V12 drives the rear wheels through a 6-speed Touchtronic 2 automatic transmission. The car comes equipped with four-wheel ventilated carbon ceramic disc brakes, Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD), Dynamic Stability Control (DSC), and an Adaptive Damping System (ADS). The seller notes the exhaust has been modified with Quicksilver Exhausts SuperSport mufflers and a secondary catalytic converter delete. The CARFAX report shows the most recent service in December 2024 included an oil, filter, and transmission fluid change. Additional maintenance history is provided in the CARFAX report.
This sale will include owner’s manuals, a window sticker, a toolkit, a battery trickle charger, a crystal key fob, and a clean title (lien).
The seller would like you to know: “The car was sold new in Virginia and held by one owner for the first 28,000 miles until 2021. The car then was wholesaled between 2-3 dealers from late 2021 until late 2023 when it was inventoried by Tactical Fleet in TX. I bought the car from Tactical Fleet in June 2024 with 29,900 miles. I drove the car 3,300 miles in 7 months. My repair shop, Driven Auto Care, did an oil service and a transmission fluid and filter service in December 2024 which improved shifting smoothness. We also installed Quicksilver Exhaust secondary catalyst delete pipes which made the car much louder. See the YouTube video linked. I still have the stock secondary catalyst pipes to reinstall to pass emissions testing in 50 states. The car came with a Quicksilver Exhaust SuperSport muffler, which already enhanced the sound. I bought a Quicksilver sport muffler which could quiet the sound down even more if desired. I can install whatever exhaust setup the buyer wants before they take delivery and would send along the extra parts with the car.”

@DRIVELLC the wrinkling dash leather and old PPF is probably all I would fix to make it a really solid driver. No mechanical issues to note.

Late to this auction but am a serious buyer. A few questions for you. 1. Any known smokers in the ownership or smell of smoke (realize you may only have limited knowledge)? 2. Tire date codes? 3. Do you have all original exhaust equipment and is that included with the car? I'm in CA so the cats are a must. Thank you,

Really look forward to seeing this car go to a great home. Rare, eye-catching, gorgeous, fantastic sound, fast, excellent high-performance GT car. Some of the best bang for your buck you can get in a V12 supercar. Not to mention, these things are notoriously reliable with dozens of V12 DB9 and DBS examples well over 50,000 miles. Regret letting this go but my new Murcielago is taking up my only garage space and all of my insurance money so this one has to go.
Thank you all for your bids! As this auction winds down I am available for any questions. Please ask in the comments rather than via private message so that all bidders can see the answers.
