There will also be some new optional equipment, including the ten-spoke, 19-inch forged, diamond-turned alloys pictured on the car above, carbon-Kevlar seats that trim 17kg off the curb weight, and a 1000-watt <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2008\/09\/15\/aston-martin-gets-the-bang-and-olufsen-treatment\/\">Bang &amp; Olufsen stereo<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p> Along with the mild visual upgrades and the new optional equipment, Aston has cut the V8 engine&#8217;s carbon emissions, the manual-equipped model dropping from 328 g\/km to 315 g\/km, and the Sportshift model dropping to 300 g\/km. The changes are applied equally to the coupe and Roadster, with order books reportedly open now with deliveries beginning early in the new year.
