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.

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.

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.”
